One of the reasons that I decided to become an officiant is because so many brides look back at their wedding and say " if only I had done things differently", or " If only I hadn't tried to please evberyone else, I could have had the ceremony I wanted". As a "Bride" of twenty-nine years, I can share that same thought. What may be the most glorious day in your life as a bride, should not be made subject to the wants and wishes of other family members and friends. Oh, I am not saying that you should disregard thier concerns, but when you meet with the officiant, have a list of what you would like to have included in the ceremony. Perhaps you both share a favorite poet, or a line from a song this could be part of your introduction. If you have chosen a theme for your wedding that you really want, be sure to advise your officiant of that idea as well. Whether it is a religious service or not, formal or informal, you should have everything that you want included, or check out other officiants who will help you create the mood you are looking for. It may last a few minutes or it may take an hour, but that should be up to you. You see, a wedding isn't just a grand reception, great food and a terrific band. The ceremony you create should bring back wonderful, fond memories fro years to come, for everyone who attends. You know people will say, "What a lovely Bride" and you want people to say, "Wasn't that a beautiful ceremony", you deserve that as well.
