Things to consider

  • Who will give you away?
  • Is the ceremony to take place indoors or outdoors and do you have an inclement weather contingency plan?
  • Where would you like your bridal party to stand during the ceremony?
  • What type of readings/poems will you select and who will read them?
  • What type of music will you select (what will be played and when)?
  • How will the music be provided (e.g. iPod, USB, cd, live)?
  • What type of vows do you want (standard, personalised)?
  • Are you exchanging rings and who will have them?
  • Are you including any rituals, customs or traditions (e.g. sand ceremony, dove release, hand fasting ceremony)?
  • Who will witness your signature(s) on your marriage certificates (2 people are required and must be over 18 years of age)?
