Ceremony Order

Hello! I am having a hard time figuring out what I would like to do with the order of our ceremony. What I have so far is Prelude, Processional, Seating of the Parents, Bride's Entrance, Giving of the Bride, Greeting, Moment of Silence to remember the ones we lost, Rose Presentation to our mothers, Declaration of Intention, Exchange of Vows, and Rings, the Sand Ceremony, Presentation of the couple and then the Recessional. We are not religious but we wanted to pay respect and give thanks to our family and friends, I am just unsure how. I am doing ceremony programs because FMIL is not wanting to come to the reception so I wanted her to have something from the wedding she can keep for later. Do you have any suggestions? What did you do/or plan to do for the ceremony? What was your order of events? Thank you in advance!

    I'm half Filipino, so I'm incorporating one tradition in our ceremony as well as a 'hand blessing'.

    Order so far is:

    Officiant, groom, wedding party, parent's & grands, bride entrance, greeting w/blurb about marriage, wedding cord ceremony w/blurb about significance, hand blessing ceremony w/blurb of significance, exchange of vows, removal of cord, exchange of rings, presentation, recessional.

    We didn't do anything religious either, just wanted it to be simple. I think printed programs will be nice, especially if you are going to save some for sentimental reasons. I didn't print any though.

    Our ceremony went like this:

    Prelude - guests walking in, Processional - seating of parents, officiant & groom walk in, groomsmen, bridal party, bridal entrance, Officiant's Welcome, Commitment, Declaration of Intent, Our Vows, Exchange of Rings, Marriage Pronouncement (the kiss), Recessional.

    Ours was super simple and not religious. We had parents walk down, then bridesmaids, then flower girls and ring bearer, and then me and my mom (was supposed to be both parents but dad has a physical disability and had too much pain). We skipped the presentation of the bride. Then the officiant said a few words, we did our personal vows, did the exchanging of rings with declaration of intent, pronouncement, and then recessional. My husband and the groomsmen entered prior to the processional because he didn't want to walk down the aisle lol.

    Yeah, I want to do them for the ones that will not be attending the reception so I made something simple but elegant!

    Thank you! This helped a lot!
