“Creating Your Ceremony” Workbook The most important, personal and meaningful part of your wedding day is the wedding ceremony. Our goal is to furnish you with a personalized ceremony that reflects the two of you as a couple, your feelings, your personalities and one that is reflective of your values, which we do by offering customized ceremonies written specifically for our couples. You may wish to choose one of our pre-written ceremonies or you may wish to be more involved in the creation process of your ceremony script. Our Creating Your Ceremony workbook offers you both of these opportunities. The ceremony is composed of many sections such as the introduction, prayers, support of family/friends, readings, consent, promises, vows, ring exchange, blessing, benediction, pronouncement, presentation and much more. You may choose selections just as they are written, combine parts from several selections or even write sections or vows yourself. You may also choose to personalize it by including any of the many ceremony enhancements offered listed under Ceremony Enhancements on our website or one of your own choosing. If you would like to include a family member or friend in your ceremony, you may ask them to participate by reading a love poem, a scripture from the Bible or by saying a prayer. If you have an idea of something that you would like to include in your ceremony, be sure to discuss it with your La Donna representative. A checklist and worksheet are furnished to assist you when making selections for your ceremony composition. The worksheet will be very helpful for keeping track of which selections you chose and is listed in the order in which they are included in the ceremony. The worksheet is submitted to La Donna Wedding after completion. The ceremony will be composed from the worksheet, a draft will then be provided for your final approval, the ceremony script will be formatted, the wedding performed and you will receive a ‘keepsake’ copy of your finalized ceremony script with a cover of your choosing. If including music, it is good for the musicians or D.J. to have this information. If the services of a wedding coordinator are being used, she/he will also find this
information beneficial. Most sections of the ceremony have a special meaning, a reason for being there…a purpose. It is up to you how you want your ceremony to be. Many sections are optional, so select what feels comfortable to you. Your ceremony should be a personal reflection.
