order of events

I was told to write up a mock program, just so the sound people and the pastors can look over it and know what I'm looking to do. I have no idea the order of which things happen in a wedding though! I've been to plenty, but never paid THAT MUCH attention. Can somebody help me out and let me know how everything fits in??

Theres:

- The seating of parents, special guests, etc
- The entrance of the Bridal Party, and then the Bride
- Opening prayer
now what? I've still got
- 2 scripture readings
- the Hand Ceremony (which is basically like another reading, just a little longer)
- the song that my sister is singing
- the Unity Sand Ceremony (in place of the candle)
- and obviously the exchange of vows & rings

which order do these go in?

TIA

Is it a Catholic ceremony or Protestant? There are lots of sites on the internet if you do a google search for 'wedding ceremony' or 'Sample wedding ceremony program' etc. If you copy and paste the following, it will give you some ideas. Good luck!

Thank you!!! I appreciate it. I've been feeling so lost with this kinda stuff. I don't even wanna think about it anymore

Our parents were not seated. They also walked down the aisle before the bridal party did.

I have my ceremony program somewhere, if i find it i can post how we did it. I remember most of it but not 100%

There was a prayer in the beginning that we picked, 2 readings, unity candle, exchanging of vows, song, also bok to blessed virgin and also another prayer or reading the priest said.
