diy Ceremony Script

Chelsea, on March 19, 2018 at 9:37 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5
Has anyone else written their own ceremony script? The templet/version my officiant suggested just
wasn’t my style. I literally just spent days researching and writing my own. It’s finished or at least my officiant said so when I sent him a copy (he’s a friend of my fiancé’s who is ordained. We had to ask him last mintue due to a scheduling conflict with our original choice). I‘m not saying I don’t trust his judgment but he doesn’t do this for a living and original suggested version looked like it has been copied and pasted from google. I just want to triple check that the order seems to flow. There are so many ways to do a ceremony; I just want to put my mind at ease.

I’m not going to include the actual script but here is the order of the ceremony:

Officiants Opening

Prayer

The Giving

Address Couple

Exchange of Vows

Ring Exchange

3 Strand Chord (Unity)

Closing

Declaration

Presentation of Couple

Recessional


Thanks in advance!

    I wrote our ceremony with input from FH. I wanted it to reflect us in every part. I edited a lot of words and sayings but it was worth it. I took bits and pieces from things online for inspiration.

    We wrote our own. We used stuff we found online and made them what we wanted. It was exactly what we wanted, short, sweet, and secular. Yours looks like it has all the main pieces, I'd say you're good to go!

    We are having a religious ceremony. FH and I picked out the vows we wanted to say and I wrote our knot tying ceremony. But, other than that, we stuck with what was in the handbook.
