Order of the ceremony....HELP

Hi girls, I am trying to figure out the order of my ceremony, the reverand said it was up to me how to do it. The components are :

greeting, introduction, vows, exchange of rings, untiy candle ceremony, hands poem and a thank you to our parents. Any ideas on how the ceremony should go (obviously the greeting and introduction would be first)

Any help would be appreciated, TIA

Re: Order of the ceremony....HELP

Im not having a religious ceremony, so i cant be of much help, but why dont you look up some programs on here, and see what order everyone else did...

Re: Order of the ceremony....HELP

The reverend should help you out, especially if you are paying a fee.

But, this should help you...this is the order of our ceremony:

Preamble

Processional

Moment of Remembrance

Welcoming of the guests (the thank you)

Reading

Preparation of the wine (same thing as unity candle, just using wine instead of candles)

Ring vows

Closing prayer and prouncement

Good luck!!

Greeting
Intro
Hands Poem
Unity Candle
Thank Parents
Vows
Exchange of rings

vows and rings can be the same depending on what you are saying..so they go together

hands poem after intro will break up the officant talking all day long.

unity candle (if you are doing with parents) will allow officant to come back in and do the parents.

thanking the parents after they did there part (if its that kind of ceremony) will be the next fitting thing to do..

finally since its your wedding, vows/rings/kiss
and your done

we are thanking both sets of parents with something like this:

A special 'thank you' has been requested from the bride and groom to their parents.

Thank you for all the years of love, nurturing and guidence that has lead (Bride) & (Groom) here today.

They stand here before you, hand in hand, with past experiences and everything they have learned from you, their parents.

The love and respect that (Bride) & (Groom) share has made them secure and confident enough to encourage and be faithful to one another from this day forward.

Love is strong. You have given them the strength of love. Today they're celebrating the love and happiness that you have shown them and that they have found in each other. Thank you.
