I need some help!! My mother, and my fiance's father and mother are going to marry us instead of the traditional pastor, preacher etc. We will have our marriage license present. Anyhow, we have to come up with things for them to read. Should we come up with that or should the parents? And if it is up to us, can anyone help me a bit a little jump start? WIth vows too. Just some examples would really help. So I have an idea.
Thank you, sky

If your parents have something they want to read...great! You can add your own words as well. Please scan this category for samples of wedding vows or click below for wedding ceremonies and vows:

I suggest that YOU choose the vows, the blessings and rituals. Afterall, it is your wedding and it should completely reflect you, your love and relationship. I have worked with thousands of couples, and I still ask them to choose these elements from a menu of ceremonial elements. You can design the structure of the service and let them go from there. Why not give them a couple of books perhaps circling what you like? Then they can add all their personal words in their opening address and in their address to you.
My book, Joining Hands and Hearts, can guide you in every aspect of creating your ceremony. It is completely scripted for couples and their officiants.
