Creating your Ceremony
This
can be a lot of fun and I am here to make it easy for you.
You have many choices - I can write it
for you, we can write it together
or you can create your own ceremony.
The first thing we need to do is to
make contact.
- Either
on the phone or by email
- If you live locally we can meet in
person
- A Notice of Intent to Marry form (NOIM) must be
completed and lodged with me no later than one month and one day prior
to your wedding date.
- A deposit will be required to secure your
date and time
- I will present you with a full kit of information
to guide you through the process.
- Together we will work through
your ceremony
- Prior to the ceremony we will meet at your chosen
venue or area and go over the preceedings and ceremony with both of you.
- Final
payment will be due 1 week prior to the ceremony.
Most
importantly
remember to
email or phone me at any time should
you have any questions.
Ceremony Structure
- The Introduction should welcome your guests and
contextualise why
you have gathered everyone to witness your intentions to be joined
together in marriage.
- The centre of the service has promises,
vows and the exchange of
rings.
- The conclusion of the ceremony confirms what has occurred
and the
formal documents are signed by you and your two witnesses. The bride and
groom now seal the ceremony with a kiss.
- Many couples choose a
simple but meaningful ceremony and often
include poetry, prose, music and songs: all elements that can be built
into ceremonies to personalise them to create a unique occasion.
My role is to make your service a relaxing and
very memorable day
and remember, as you
celebrate your wedding day,
words will have the power to be an
uplifting,
joyful expression of your heartfelt emotions.
