Program wording question

a_spinhirne

I wasn't quite sure where to post this particular question...I had posted on the "Invites and Paper" board and gotten no responses...so I'll try here

Yesterday I picked up my ceremony program mock-up from the graphic designer.  In the wording draft I had previously given her, I had a section of the program stating, "Prior to the ceremony, the unity candle's light source is brought by
Laurie X, Groom's Mother and Nancy X, Bride's Aunt."
When I picked up my mock-up, I noticed the graphic designer changed it to "Prior to the ceremony, the unity candle's light source is brought to the altar by......."  The problem is, my wedding is an outdoor garden wedding at a place called Goldmoor Inn, not a church wedding.  Is it appropriate to use the phrase "to the altar" in this situation?  I am thinking probably not.  Also, does anyone have any better suggestions for wording for this than mine above?  Thanks!!

I would have her take out "to the altar".  Your original wording was fine.

If you're not comfortable with it in there, have her take it out.

i liked your original wording as well. if you need to add something, you could put "to the front"....can't even think of a better phrase. i really think what you had originally was fine.

I agree with PPs. If you don't like it, then have them take it out. It's the program for YOUR wedding, not theirs.

I cannot stand when vendors try to change things to be the way they think it should be without consultation.

And that's not just with weddings...that's with anyone that's providing you a service.
