    Your minister will be happy to adjust the service to your personal tastes.

    Most last about 15 minutes unless its a religious service.

    may I suggest that you do a family blending ceremony?

    I saw you have kids from your other post.

    You can do this with a sand blending.

    Place 1 larger clear vase on a table, around this vase place 1 small vase for each child and 1 vase for you and your fiance each filled half way with different colored sand.

    after the vows and before the kiss and presentation of the couple, the minister asks the children to come forward, each will pour the sand into the large vase and then you and your new husband will pour together over the top of this sand blending the families.You then will be allowed to kiss and go to your party! LOL

    This colorful vase can be displayed during the reception and in your home as a reminder that you are all one big family yet individuals.

    Thanks for the tips on this because me and my fiance also wondering how to shorten vows!

    Ever since he proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from www.idonowidont.com we want our wedding to be short and sweet and our vows to stay short but meaningful.

    It's hard to tell the one you love how much you love them in such a short speech but we don't want our friends and family to fall asleep!

    When you interview ministers/officiants, bring this concern up to them. The only things absolutely necessary are vows and pronouncement, then signing the license with witnesses. All the rest of a ceremony is just pretty words. Most ceremonies by non-denominational officiants last 10-15 minutes. Any extras like the sand or candle unity, readings, songs, etc. add more time. If you want a short and sweet service with just the basics, you should be charged on the lower end of the officiants pay scale.

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You should certainly have the wedding that you would like! Short and sweet can be very beautiful. When I conduct weddings, I allow the couple to have it exactly the way that they want it to be. After all........it is YOUR day, YOUR vision. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
