Hello Ladies!

NateandJustine · November 2012

Hi everyone! I'm new on this board, not to TK though. I have been sticking to the July 2013 and Etiquette boards, but I have some questions about what to do for our ceremony. We are are Christians and what that to show in our ceremony, but we don't want a long ceremony. How did you guys know what order to do everything in and what bible verses/prayers/readings to use? I feel like I am so confused about the order of the wedding. All I can think is walk down with my dad to groom, say a prayer, say our vows, say " I DO"(not sure the order of those two), I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride.

What did you ladies do?

I don't have a copy of our program on this computer, but our ceremony went like this:

- Processional

- Prayer

- Reading

- Minister from our church spoke briefly

- Officiant spoke breifly

- Vows, "I do's", kiss

- Recessional

It was less than 20 minutes and perfect for us and our guests.

Ours will be this, except we aren't having a reading, but we are having a unity candle. As for any scripture that will be read during the ceremony, I'm leaving that up to our pastor!

We talked to our officiate (in our case, it was DH's dad) about his typical Order of Service and how to fit in what we wanted to add. In the end, it looked like this (45 minutes from processional to recessional...it looks longer than it was):
