Hello, Thank God or the Internet for letting me find you!! You have helped me so!! I work in a Wild West Theme town, and our Blacksmith was just Ordained. We are going to be "his first". I've seen everything written on vows, my Fiance I are going to rewrite everything and make it Ours. I want it to be Unique, and I have found some help, but what is the order it goes in? Like, speech/rings/vows or speech/candle/rings/vows? Or what about a ring bearer? When does he come in?? What if I have two bridesmaids, and a best man? Can he walk arm-in-arm with two ladies? And my Dad is deceased, My brother is walking me down, can my brother just carry a candle, and hand it to Jay before he preforms the ceremony?
Sorry! I love this place! I got exicted. Question is:
Can you give me a blow-by-blow Extreme Ceremony? Our wedding won't be Super traditional, but I would like it to kinda be for the Old School's in our family?

What fun! As a non-denominational Minister here in Seattle, here are some quick and easy thoughts that may be helpful to you: There are many books available that can assist you with the order of a wedding ceremony and elements/rituals that you may want to incorporate to make it "yours." Often, the major pieces are: Introduction/Blessing, Presentation of Couple, Family Gratitude/Tributes, Readings, The Asking/Monitum, Wedding Vows, Ring Vows, Rituals, Pronouncement. For the processional, your bridesmaids would go first, following by the maid of honor and bestman, followed by the ring bearer and flower girl. And yes, if you just have two bridesmaids, they can be escorted by the best man. It may be difficult for your brother to carry a candle as it may blow out. Consider lighting a candle before and/or to begin the ceremony in honor of your father. Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Officiant & Minister
