Not a darn thing!! If it's too long or too emotional, I'll bawl my eyes out, so I'm going to go for the the standard and try to zone out so I don't cry . . . . as long as I say 'I do' and he does too, that's all I need and all can take!!
I cry watching wedding shows, every time, so there is no way I can put all the mushy stuff into our ceremony. I'll ruin my makeup, my dress, and the whole ceremony.
I'm totally the same way!!!!!

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
we're doing a sand ceremony for our big thing @ the lighthouse, but we're also writing our own vows for a completely private ceremony on the beach about an hour before.

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
I am doing the hand ceremony as well. Its so funny the other day I was showing it to his mom and we both read it together and she started crying and of course i started crying and FH walks in and see us both sitting there wiping tears and he gave us a weird look. hahahaha!
this is my favorite line in the ceremony: These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as he promises to love you all the days of his life.
:::::Sigh:::..... I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
I am not doing anything. I am with the girl who said nothing too long or she'll bawl her eyes out. That would be me too!

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
No idea... I know we wouldn't be able to write our vows bc I would totally cry through them and not be able to get a word out!
Or I could see FH making a stupid joke in one of them and me getting mad at him, lol.

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
Rose ceremony
'Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings - which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each other.
You now have what remains the most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman - the title of 'husband' and 'wife.' For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose.
In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing - it meant the words 'I love you.' So it is appropriate that for your first gift - as husband and wife - that gift would be a single rose.
Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife. In some ways it seems like you have not done anything at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose - and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways, a marriage ceremony is like this. In some ways, tomorrow is going to seem no different than yesterday. But in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life - one I hope you always remember - the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage.
_________ and _____________, I would ask that where ever you make your home in the future - whether it be a large and elegant home - or a small and graceful one - that you both pick one very special location for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage - and a recommitment that THIS will be a marriage based upon love.
In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult some time to words to say 'I am sorry' or 'I forgive you'; 'I need you' or 'I am hurting'. If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot which both of you have selected - for that rose than says what matters most of all and should overpower all other things and all other words.
That rose says the words: 'I still love you.' The other should accept this rose for the words which cannot be found, and remember the love and hope that you both share today.
__________ and ________, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure.'

Re: Ceremony Ideas!!
Hand Ceremony
In the hand ceremony, the officiant invites the bride and groom to view the hands of the other as a gift.
As an expression that your hearts are joined together in love - will you please face each other and hold hands, so you may feel the gift that you are to one another. These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children. These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.
Blessing after: “Our prayer for you today is that both of you will use these hands to build a marriage where all your dreams come true.”
