Ok I want to put together my wedding ceremony and I am wondering what the order generally is for a ceremony.

This is my Catholic ceremony program order for an idea:
Prelude Parents entrance Processional Opening Prayer Old Testament reading Psalm New Testament reading Alleluia Gospel reading Homily Rite of Marriage - Exchange of vows Blessing and exchange of rings Candle lighting Prayer of the faithful Nuptial blessing Final blessing Recessional

Re: Programs
Are you having a religious service? I see you are getting married at the CHCC.
We are interfaith and this is what we are doing...
Prelude Parents/Groom/Bridal Party Entrance Bride's entrance Welcoming by minister Reading from Corinithians 'I Will' the Beatles-performed by BM Reflections upon marriage Our Story Blessing of the Hands Vows Exchange of Rings Irish Blessing- read by FH's sisters Wine Ceremony/Breaking of the Glass Recessional

Re: Programs
When I first started planning I found one of The Knot's books to be very helpful. I can't remember the name of it but it was about writing your own ceremony and vows. MY public library had a copy of it.
My minister had a menu of options. We used that as our basis for the ceremony then I added on from there. As you can see from my post baove we have a blending of traditional and non-traditional elements. FH was raised very reform Jewish (barely) and I was raised Catholic (Catholic school but no way do I practice).
Have you met with your officiant? They might have a general outline of a ceremony they work off of.
What do you envision your ceremony to be like? do you want certain readiings, poems, music?
