Screening Officiant Availability
Provide your wedding date, time, location and number of quest
attending.
Provide your rehearsal date, time, location and number in your
wedding party.
Type Of Ceremony
You may be interested in: religious, non-religious,
non-denominational/spiritual, traditional or non-traditional.
Consider what cultural traditions you may want to include.
Within The Ceremony
Would you like; dual ring ceremony, unity candle ceremony, wine
ceremony, roses to mothers, a reader or two, group
pronouncement, hope for children or you may like to involve
current children?
Extra Touches
Would you like to include a dove release or butterfly release? A
Singer or Musician?
Sound Effects
If the ceremony is over fifty people or if wind may be an issue;
make sure a sound system is set up for the Officiant. Usually the
D.J. can provide this service. It is always a lovely touch to have
the air softly filled with sound rather then someone projecting
sound through the two of you to make sure your guests can hear.
Time of Day
If your wedding is going to take place out doors. Make every
effort not to sit your guests in the noon day sun. Begin
ceremonies before 11:00 am or begin ceremonies after 4:00 pm.
Watch out for the glare of the setting sun, shinning in your
guests eyes. They will only see your outline.
Ceremonial Items
Matching rings for the Bride and Groom
Ceremonial Wine Goblet & Wine (If you decide to have a wine
ceremony.)
Ceremonial Candles & Holder (If you decide to have a unity candle
ceremony.)
Ceremonial Bowls for the Flower ceremony
Photographer
Video gopher
Gown & Tuxedo/Suit
Champagne Flutes for a Wedding Toast
Perhaps a Wedding Cake
Cutting Cost
Have a luncheon rather then a dinner.
Have a champagne toast and cake cutting ceremony instead of a
reception.
Later you could have a newlywed potluck, play your wedding
ceremony video for your guest and celebrate your new
beginning. Makes a nice first anniversary celebration.
Omit the dove or butterfly release, singer or musician.
Plan the rehearsal with printed sheets instructing the wedding
party how they will enter and exit during the ceremony and what
is expected of them regarding holding the rings, brides flowers,
lighting of the candles, etc...rather then a walk through rehearsal
with dinner. |

| I started to look at all of that, then my eyes started to roll. I think I'll let the bride and her mother take care of all that stuff and just do as I'm told. |
