I was pretty bummed when I learned my pastor does not travel outside my city since my ceremony is about an hour drive. I really wanted someone I know to run my ceremony. When I told my dad about my dilemma, he volunteered himself and took all the necessary steps to be a legal officiant for me. I LOVE that my dad is doing this, but I am having trouble scripting the ceremony. To add to the dilemma, my mom and dad are divorced, so I can't just have my mom say, "Her father and I" to give me away because they don't even speak to each other and I would find that kind of odd. I know it's been discussed before, but it would be really helpful if someone could give me a link to an example ceremony script. I've heard about the families giving their blessings instead of the father "giving the bride away". I don't have any problem with my father not being asked to give me away - but I am writing the ceremony script so I am just looking for some options! TIA!!
