Officiant special requests

Im not sure but I’ll take a guess, please someone correct me if I’m wrong, I think it’s if there’s anything you want him to say or do. A specific line or bible verse for example.

View Quoted Comment Thank you Marta that helps.

We used that part to request no mention of religion or "blessings" or future children. Too often there is foreshadowing to future children and we didn't want false hope in the hearts of our guests. We also did a handfasting and a unity ceremony.

View Quoted Comment Thank you MrsBdeG. I am with you on that request and will definitely put that down. Thank you.

One that was mentioned recently was stepping aside for the first kiss so there is no photobombing from your officiant

View Quoted Comment Oh i didn’t even think about that. Thank you falkenmarried.

I’d use it for things I don’t want them to say. Like asking who gives this woman or saying anything about two becoming one or pronouncing man and wife. Stuff like that.

Our special requests were: mention that this is an unplugged ceremony before it began, nothing religious, nothing about “obeying” and lastly to do a knot tying unity.

Our request to braid a cross to a special song.

One thing that comes to mind is how you want to be announced once you're married at the end of the ceremony. Some people don't like Mr. And Mrs. Grooms first and last name. So, for example, we are doing Mr and Mrs Grooms first name & brides first name, grooms last name. Hope that makes sense lol

I can think of one! We are asking our officiant to make a mention of silencing cell phones before the ceremony begins
