This webpage is very simple, however it provides some suggestions that may be helpful in formulating your ceremony for your special day. I hope to hear from you as I would enjoy being part of that day.
                           

How to use this website
There are essentially six 'components' of a wedding ceremony (including signing the Marriage Register). You will see the other five listed below. Click on each link and you will see suggestions for each part of the ceremony.

Option One:
You can mix and match, choosing the example from each category that you like, make any changes that you choose, string each part together and before you say 'I Do' your ceremony is almost prepared.
Next: ... Email your selections to me and I will format it for your wedding day.


Option Two:
Read through the examples of complete ceremonies below and choose one that you like. We can use it as a template, tailoring it to suit your preferences.
