Ceremony

A traditional wedding ceremony begins with the procession of your wedding party. When everyone is in their designated place, I ask the guests to stand for the entrance of the bride or groom. I welcome everyone and then the partners face each other and join hands. There is a declaration of consent, exchange of vows, ring prayer, ring exchange, closing prayer, declaration of marriage, sealing declaration with the kiss and introduction of the new couple.
