Reading/Ceremony Outline

Our officiant recently sent us an outline of our ceremony. I have 3 readers, and he has it set up so all the readers read one after the other shortly after our "introduction." I feel like the readings should be spaced out. Maybe one after we've been introduced, one before the rings exchange and one before the pronouncement. 

When are your readings being done? Should I leave it as the officiant outlined or spread them out?

    Ours are one after each other, but you could do it any way you want.

    Ours is catholic and we call it the litergy of the word... so all the readings are together. I think it works either way.

    We ended up taking our readings out because we didn't love any we found and we wanted to keep our ceremony short, but initially we planned to have one reading after the introduction, then another after the ring exchange. I don't think it matters either way, but personally I preferred to space them out.

    Our readings are after the declaration of intent and we spaced them out between Hymns, otherwise they would be one after another.

    This        I.  This is our ceremony outline - it's interfaith and just spiritual so nothing TOO religious.  We did include lots of traditions, though.


    Introduction, Opening Prayer and Blessing

        II.            Explanation of the Huppah

     III.            Remembrance of Loved Ones Who Have Passed Away

      IV.            Scripture Readings

    Jewish Biblical Selection: Song of Songs, 2:10-14, 16

    New Testament Selection: 1 Corinthians, 13:1-13

         V.            Unity Candle Ceremony

      VI.            Blessing Over the Wine

    VII.            Wedding Vows

    VIII.            Blessing of the Rings

      IX.            The Seven Wedding Blessings (Jewish Liturgy)

         X.            Nuptial Blessing  (Christian Liturgy) 

      XI.            Breaking of the Glass

    We only have 2 readings, but we'll be doing them right in a row.  I think officiants like them all in a row so that they can deliver the homily with them all fresh in mind....and I think it would be a little weird to have a reading and no commentary on it right afterwords, and also a little weird to have 3 separate "homilys" (or whatever you want to call it, reflection on the words).
