I am meeting with my officiant today to set up the ceremony. While I know she will have many ideas I'm trying to get together a general idea of what I want.
So my question is what is your format?
Things I'd like to include are: lighting of taper candles by mothers and lighting of unity candle by us, saying our own vows AND being asked "do you take this man blah blah blah" I want to say I DO but also say my own vows.
This is the format I'm thinking:
Opening
Vows-writing our own
I Do’s
Unity Candle
Exchange of rings
Closing
I'm not sure if I really like this order..what are you doing, or what do you suggest?
