5 Things to Discuss Before Meeting an Officiant

As with all things related to your wedding, it is better to be prepared before getting into something.

For the wedding ceremony, here are 5 things you and your fiance should discuss before meeting with your officiant.

1. The type of ceremony you both envision. Traditional and Religious? Interfaith? Non-religious yet spiritual?
2. Whether you would like to say anything to each other (aside from traditional vows)
3. Any religious or cultural rituals that you would like to incorporate, such as lighting of the unity candles or breaking a glass or jumping a broom at the end of the ceremony.
4. Special reading you'd like to include (a favorite poem, an ancedote about your first date, etc)
5. Particular relatives you'd like to honor by mentioning them, or with a symbolic gesture (wearing a piece of jewellry or a religious item of theirs, for example)
