Your Ceremony
So much planning goes into the many details of your special day! Many couples sit down with me and have really  not given any thought to what kind of ceremony they want... or that they even have a choice!  My husband and I put together our wedding ceremony and vows in 1984. We helped a number of friends with their ceremonies and were honored when some asked us to officiate. Since that time, we have been privileged to officiate for many couples, and I still get a thrill every time I say the words that I know are so special, so perfect for each couple.

Plan  Your  Ceremony
Ceremonies  come in many forms and you  can pretty much do what you like. It must contain,  of course, certain  elements such as the "I do's and the pronouncement "I now  pronounce you  ..." Below are guidelines to help you write your vows and create a ceremony just for you. You can do it...if you are one of my couples and need some help just  call me at 
(754) 999-0318. I can also recommend a couple of books that you may get some ideas from.
The ceremonies which  we, at Weddings with Serenity,  are designed to be as meaningful as we can  possibly make them. I love to work with our clients to create a ceremony which is special to them. I love to incorporate family traditions from both families baackgrounds So I welcome your ideas and your input. If you think something is right for your ceremony, then it is.
Remember the day is  yours..
My ceremonies are always well received and the comment I receive  most is "The ceremony was just beautiful and meaningful." We love to hear that!

A  Wedding Ceremony Consists of several separate elements. You may want to use all or some of them.

Opening   Words:  We have come together here  today to celebrate the marriage of ______and _____
Use this section  to thank your guest for joining in your happy day, to say something about why you
are making the commitment etc or for just whatever  you wish to say  to your family and guests.
Invocation: Whatever you like,   prayer etc
Address:  How  you found one  another or what marriage means to you. Something to  share with  your guests.
Special   Reading:  verse,  poem
Candle  Lighting  Service:  Special unity candle.  Especially nice for second marriages with small  children.
Special  Music:A nice selection here helps to set the mood for the vows and also adds a little  length to the ceremony.
Vows:You can use the vows to  the right  or write your own.
Blessing  of the  Rings:My  favorite here is "Like a  circle with no ending may these rings signify your never ending love. May your rings  forever be a reminder of this day, this hour,  this
moment
Exchange  of  Rings: With  this ring  etc
Pronounce  of  Marriage:This  would be the pronounce  in the short ceremony to the  right.
Simple  Civil Marriage  Ceremony
Couple  must have valid  License

To Groom "Do you take this woman to be your
lawful wedded wife, to live together in the Holy Estate of Matrimony;  to  love, honor, comfort her and keep her in sickness and in health,  and  forsaking all others, keep you only unto her so long as you
both shall  live?"

(Groom answers "I do")

To Bride "Do you take
this man to be  your lawful wedded husband to live together in the  Holy Estate of Matrimony, to love, honor, confort him and keep him  in sickness  and in health, and forsaking all others, keep you  only unto him so long  as you both shall live?"

(Bride answers " I  do")

Giving of rings.  This can be done seperately or both bride and grrom can place the rings  on the other and then  repeat together'
"With this ring I thee wed in  love and truth and with all
my worldly goods I thee endow."

Bride and Groom join hands
and officiant pronounces them  husband and wife

"Inasmuch as  _______(groom) and ______(bride) have this day consented togehter in  Holy Wedlock and have given and  pledged their troth each to the  other in the presence of this company,  by virtue of the authority  vested in me under the laws of the State of  Florida , I now pronounce you husband and  wife.

Basically this is
just the vows  portion and for longer ceremonies the sections to the
left can be added  or you can write this section.
