Telling your stories

What level of custom wedding suits you?
From the simplest to the most complex, let’s explore some options.

MOSTLY PREPARED SCRIPTS

A. Find a sample script you like. Put your names in it. Done!

B. Mix and match your script with different sample pieces, readings, vows. Still no-fuss.

SOMEWHAT CUSTOM

C. Choose your sample script pieces and add a few personal tidbits you provide me. A little anecdote goes a long way!

D. Find a sample script you like, but we edit to include your own stories – perhaps how you met, your first date, your proposal, or what each of you appreciates about the other. You might also include a guest reading, a hand-fasting, or another symbolic element.

TOTALLY CUSTOM

E. Write your script yourselves. For those who want full creative freedom, have at it! I’ll collaborate with you along the way to offer suggestions, edits and feedback.

F. Something else, a unique theme, start from scratch. It’s your day, what are your ideas?
