| Customizing Your Wedding Ceremony - Create Your Own |
 |  |  |  |  |
Give some thought to the following aspects of your ceremony:
* Will you include any aspects of the religions or traditions you were born into, or would you prefer a non-denominational
ceremony?
* Do you have a specific interest you wish to incorporate into your Wedding Ceremony?
EXAMPLE: Wedding on the Golf Course at the Country Club, Snowmobile, Harley, Horseback, Classic Cars or Horse
Drawn Carriage! Sunrise Wedding on the Beach. Sunset Wedding at Beach, Apple Orchard, favorite Lake, Cabin, or do
you prefer the Traditional Church or Chapel Service? Your possibilities are endless!
* Will you write and speak your own vows, or would you rather speak your vows in a "repeat-after-me" fashion, where the
minister leads your through them?
* Do you want family and friends involved, doing readings, poems or blessings, or partaking in the rituals, the
processional and the recessional?
* Do you want just words and readings, or would you like rituals, such as:
Unity Sand Pouring Ceremony - This can include Bride and Groom only, Bride, Groom, and Parents, or Bride, Groom,
their Children with Grandparents.
Unity Candle Lighting Ceremony - Bride and Groom, or Bride, Groom, and Mothers or both Parents.
Rose Exchange Ceremony - Bride and Groom only.
Rose Presentation Ceremony - involving Mothers only or including, Stepmothers, Grandmothers, Fathers, Stepfathers,
and Grandfathers.
Wine Ceremony - Bride, Groom only, or including Parents.
There are so many options for creating the wedding of your dreams!
This is something we are able to guide you through and you make your wedding ceremony decisions. We encourage you
and your fiancé to make it unique! We are sensitive enough to understand not every Bride and Groom are the same. No
matter where your ceremony takes place, we will create Your Wedding, Your Way, at Your Location of Choice! This is
your Wedding Day! You decide!
