The bride and groom were excited...they'd done such good planning...all their ideas were incorporated in their ceremony and reception at The Lake Club on Staten Island.
As their wedding officiant, I carefully wove their ideas into the ceremony...the words to their processional song ("Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"), setting up the Dr. Seuss reading they selected, telling their love story in delightful detail, and declaring them husband and wife at the conclusion...just before they recessed with bubbles and their selected tune - "All Things Keep Getting Better."
Ceremony Tip: When you have specific ideas you want for your ceremony, it will be a richer and more meaningful ceremony. Nicole and Matt were especially good at describing what they wanted in their wedding ceremony. However, for some couples, they are genuinely clueless about what to ask for in their ceremony. Here are some things you can think about before you meet with the officiant: what song do you want playing when you enter, think about things you have seen in other weddings that you liked, let your officiant know what is important to you (for example - involving your family, having a reading in a different language, doing a traditional ritual like breaking the glass). Don't forget: Your ceremony sets the tone for your wedding day!
