I could use some input here. Our officiant had us choose the ceremony wording that we like best out of all the options she had. She said we could customize the wording and add things wherever we like to make it "our own". Here's my question: FI is in the military and we have been living long distance for 3 years. That has been a huge part of our relationship and has really made us a strong couple and who we are today. I'd really like to include something in the ceremony that the officiant will say (not in our vows as we will be using the traditional vows), but I'm wondering how we could word it so it flows with everything else.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to include things for the officiant to say about how being long distance has helped us create the core foundation that we feel is important for a strong marriage, and just being apart in general?
