Help!! Ceremony script.

Unless you want to throw any readings in there I think this is good. It's your ceremony and you can do it in whatever way works for you! 😊

Yeah that’s pretty much exactly what we did! We wrote our own vows but the order of events was exactly that.

View Quoted Comment So when people say the “wrote their own vows”... did you read them off a piece of paper? Or did you write them only to have your minister read them and have you repeat? We wrote our own I do’s... but having him read them then we just say I do... is this normal?

View Quoted Comment We actually wrote our own individual vows (they were a surprise to each other) and read them ourselves off a piece of paper. Then the I do’s were repeat after me by the minister. Either is fine though!

Vows can be done either way, but if you write your own I think it's nice if you read out your own words yourself! Otherwise if you want to keep things short and don't want to add readings or a unity ceremony I think your order of events looks good

View Quoted Comment My fiancé will not have any part of reading his own vows... lol. I wrote the “I do” part.. is that considered the vows? We used a script part for our vows.

This sounds great! I don't know how traditional you are and would like your ceremony to be but you could also add a charge before the introduction to vows. The charge is just a brief reading about marriage as a whole and how sacred and special it is.

Since you're writing your own ceremony, there is no right or wrong. You do it however you want; and what you have planned seems great!

We wrote our own ceremony as well and this is what we have:
-Welcome: The officiant will walk in first, welcome everyone, and ask all to refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. Then the processional begins.
-Presenting (giving away) of the bride
-Opening Remarks
-Prayer
-Brief history of the couple
-Exchange of vows: Written first then traditional
-Exchange of rings
-Declaration of marriage
The End
