Intimate Ceremonies

[hfehr1s]

Just wondering if any intimate brides have any copies of how their ceremony went?? Music used and when? Readings? Vows? Unity Candle/Rose/Sand ceremonies?? I am using Rev. Tim and the info he sent didn't really give us any ideas -- just the order of events.

I don't know if this will help but here goes:
We had the solo violinist. According to the guests he played various Disney songs as everyone gathered at the site and was quite good.
DH and I stressed over the music he would play for each "entrance" and in the end I couldn't tell you what he played! I was so focused on my groom that I didn't hear anything as I walked in!
I knew I did not want to come in to the traditional "here comes the bride" and instead I used classical music. Disney sent us a list of classical titles in our Intimate package and DH pulled each one up on-line and we chose one for him, one for my MOH, and one for me and my daddy.
The ceremony started with a welcome from Rev. Jack and a prayer for my mom.
Then Rev. Jack sort of paraphrased I Corinthians (DH and I are not religious but this piece is beautiful and perfect for a wedding).
Then the vows. We went traditional.
Then the ring exchange. Also very traditional, with this ring I thee wed, etc.
(We did not do a Unity Candle or anything like that but you easily could add that.)
Then a final wedding blessing and announcement of "Mr. and Mrs."
We exited to some beautiful music, of which right now I cannot remember the name! I think I've heard it on TV used for the Queen? Sorry I can't remember the title - how embarassing!
The ceremony took about 15 minutes.
Then some pictures, cake cutting and toast, more pictures, presentation by EM of Disney Wedding Certificate and surprise DFTW gift, all while the violinist played the Disney songs we requested (songs from Aladdin in honor of my mom, it was her favorite, and a couple from Little Mermaid)
More and more and more pictures for about 1 & 1/2 hours.
Done.
It was perfect, exactly what we wanted

Best wishes!

I was thinking, I know you're not using Rev. Jack Day, but you could order his Jack's Pack that has all of his wedding ceremonies. That way you will have 4 or 5 different ceremony types to look through and mix and match and come up with something both of you will love. His website is
www.revjackday.com and he'll send you the information at no obligation. For "wedding date" you could always put "to be determined."

Best of Luck!
