I need some help here.

 

FI is totally against religion, so we (me) have to write our own ceremony and get it over to the minister ASAP so we can be sure he will do this for us.

 

I've been reading so many vows, etc. That I can barely see my computer screen from crying so much!

 

Please read this and tell me, honestly, what you think. I like all of the individual parts, but I don't know if it really "flows".

 

The parts in blue are from the standard ceremony at Couples. I couldn't think of any other way to say it. It should only be about a 10-12 minute ceremony.

 

I can also post it if you want. It's just long!

 

The first page is the traditional Christian ceremony order. We are only doing the things highlighted in yellow.

 

TIA! FI isn't being much help!

I think it looks good. Rachel, I also really like yours. Thanks for posting these. I need to start working on our ceremony. We also do not want to have it religious. I'm sure these places are used to a non-religious ceremony & can accomidate it.

 

How does it work? Does the person doing the ceremony contact you some time before to find out what you want said? My date-buddy is working on her's so it makes me feel like I should be working on mine :)

What's wrong with it? I think it's beautiful. I'd help, but I'm not sure what you don't like.
I just wanted to make sure it made sense. SInce I copied & pasted, re-worded etc. so many things from so many places I didn't know if it worked all together.

I asked the WC to please send me over their vows and explained our situation. Mike would probably have made us change reorts if we couldn't get a non-denominational ceremony. Some of the ND ceremonies I've seen are still very religious, they just don't say Jesus. The standard vows were VERY traditional "Dearly beloved we are gathered today before God and these witnesses" "Let that which God hath joined together", etc. He just wasn't feelin it.

I just want to get this over to him early so if there is a problem we can try and come up with a solution.

My minister emailed me like 4 days before we left. This is his ceremony and I think he does a fabulous job. Everyone remarked how beautiful it is. I never listen to this part of weddings because its all blah.gif to me. I listened this time. lol

Is he the same guy that did Ann's wedding? I always tune out wedding ceremonies, but I bawled watching hers. He really was great (if that's the same guy). I think it touched me because it seemed so real. So often I think ceremonies get kind of bland & don't really touch on what a marriage is really about. The hand ceremony gets me everytime. I hope I'm not all snotty from the crying. Maybe I should make a recording of it I can listen to on my ipod to desensitize myself :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
