Simplicity in Weddings

Introduction: Whether this is a first or second wedding, renewal of vows, commitment ceremony or other celebration, you have chosen each other, the date and time, and ideally should be able to choose the words, music and how you wish your ceremony to be conducted. With dozens of introductions, vows, readings, pronouncements and elements to choose from, your ceremony can be as modern and as unique, or as traditional as you wish. To design your personal ceremony, we will respect who you are both as individuals and as a couple, discover what is meaningful to both of you, and how you wish to include your family and friends. After our first meeting, you will be sent home with a 42-page directory of vows, readings, prayers and elements, both traditional and non-traditional in nature. You will also have several options as to how you would like to recite your vows: you can memorize them, read them from index cards, recite them in "repeat-after-me" style, or have them rewritten so you can simply state, "I/we do" or "I/we will". There is no limit to how many readings you choose, whether you wish to change some of the wordings or combine parts of several choices. The entire text of your ceremony will be designed into an attractive, handcrafted booklet and given to you as a keepsake of your day.
