Ceremonies

The most important thing to keep in mind when selecting a ceremony is –

What do you want?

I want to make sure that you get the wedding ceremony you want. Let’s take the time to get together, via phone, email, Twitter, Facebook, or even in person to talk about what it is you want. Let me get to know you and your future spouse a little to help me craft a custom, heartfelt and personal ceremony.

You may ask what types of ceremonies I perform… I will do anything you like. If I don’t know the specifics, I will research the type of ceremony and gain the knowledge I need to write and perform the ceremony.

Below is a brief list of wedding ceremonies from Wikipedia [1].

Civil wedding
A civil wedding is a ceremony presided over by a local civil authority or officiant. Civil wedding ceremonies may use references to God or a deity, but generally no references to a particular religion or denomination. They can be either elaborate or simple.

Elopement
Eloping is the act of getting married without inviting guests to the wedding. In some cases a small group of family and/or friends may be present.

Same-sex wedding
A same-sex wedding is a ceremony in which two people of the same sex are married. This event is legally documented as a marriage in the State of NY. Where such partnerships are not legally recognized, the wedding may be a religious or symbolic ceremony designed to provide an opportunity to make the same public declarations and celebration with friends and family that any other type of wedding may afford.

Destination wedding
A destination wedding is one in which a wedding is hosted, often in a vacation-like setting, at a location to which most of the invited guests must travel and often stay for several days. This could be a beach ceremony in the tropics, a lavish event in a metropolitan resort, or a simple ceremony at the home of a geographically distant friend or relative.

White wedding
A white wedding is a term for a traditional formal or semi-formal Western wedding. This term refers to the color of the wedding dress, which became popular after Queen Victoria wore a pure white gown when she married Prince Albert, and many were quick to copy her choice.

Weekend wedding
A weekend wedding is a wedding in which couples and their guests celebrate over the course of an entire weekend. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments may be scheduled into the wedding itinerary. Lodging usually is at the same facility as the wedding and couples often host a Sunday brunch for the weekend’s finale.

Military wedding
A military wedding is a ceremony conducted in a military chapel and may involve a Saber Arch. In most military weddings the groom, bride, or both (depending on which is a member of the armed services) will wear a military dress uniform in lieu of civilian formal wear, although military dress uniforms largely serve the same purpose. Some retired military personnel who marry after their service has ended may opt for a military wedding.

Double wedding
A double wedding is a single ceremony where two affianced couples rendezvous for two simultaneous or consecutive weddings. Typically, a fiancé with a sibling who is also engaged, or four close friends in which both couples within the friendship are engaged might plan a double wedding where both couples legally marry.

Again, the ceremony is yours to choose. I am more than happy to work within whatever type of ceremony you want.
