July 2012 Weddings

Have you written your ceremony yet??

Last night FI & I finalized our ceremony!!  I'm so excited to have that done...now we just have to email it to our officiant to have him approve it!  AHH!!  FI was being lazy & wanted me to read it to him...I of course started crying...he even got a little teary-eyed...he's going to cry too!! hahahaha

Re: Have you written your ceremony yet??

  • Congratulations on finishing your ceremony!! I voted we don't have to write it but we do need to pick out some verses for it... and the music I guess I should start on that!

  • Oh my god, no we haven't. Our officiant told us we'd start working on it together in February.

  • I'm in between Nope, and our officiant will write it for us.. cuz I'm not really sure who does it. Haha I'm a little clueless. What does writing a ceremony include? Just the order in which things will go?
  • We don't even have a ceremony site yet - so..nope. :p

  • our officiant read thru the base idea of what her program is like when we met with her (like legally the stuff she has to say) and then she said she'd work on some stuff to say for us specifically and then we've been writing our vows and we finished picking the music for it, yay!

    Our officiant interviewed me on the phone.  Then he emailed me a first draft ceremony he felt would suit us (secular, nature, togetherness, teamwork, etc).  It looks pretty good!  We plan to add our own vows after the "repeat after me" part.

    We won't meet him until the day of the wedding.
  • Our officiant is our pastor and we still haven't even started meeting, probably won't start meeting until in March or so and he'll probably use the standard ceremony and then add in the vows my fiance wants us to write and whatever verses or songs that we want where he normally would suggest to put them.

  • No. We'll be writing our own ceremony. We'll get started over the holidays (FI has a week off, I have two), and I'm planning to finish it by march/april.

    Well, I actually googled wedding vows and such and started from there. It'll be the order of how things will go as well as who says what...I'm sure the officiant will need to change a few things (but I hope not too many!)
  • We wrote ours a few months ago.  Our officiant is a family friend so we had no clue on where to start.  I definitely want to add some more to it though because I read it to myself and timed it but it was only 12 minutes long.  We don't want to draw the whole thing out but we're hoping for atleast 20 minutes.

    We have and opening, some background about us, a reading, declaration of intent, vows, ring exchange and wrap-up (for lack of a better term)

    Many people post their ceremony script in their Planning Bios so maybe if you search around, you can get a better idea of what you like.

    Here is the link to mine:

  • Thanks for the reminder! I still need my Pastor to confirm if he is available on our date. If he is than he has a standard speach he gives. He will customize it a little to suit us but I think he does all the work.

    Our officiant gave us examples to work off of.  If you want I can email you mine so you can get an idea of what to incorporate. 

    It is pretty much a time line of what order things will be done in.  But it also has everything typed out what we are saying and doing.

    That would be great! Just to get an idea of how this works. I'll send you my email in a PM
  • Our officiant sent us a bunch of different options, and we chose one. We did add a little part to it but mostly stuck with what she had

  • Our officiant emailed what he usually uses to me.  I was wanting to add in somewhere a poem that I wrote soon after FI and were engaged.  So I am working that in somehwhere.  I am going to ask my FSIL to read it.
