Vows
Four sets of vows are included in this booklet. One is in the body
of the wedding service and three options are presented following
the service. You may choose any of the four as printed. If you
would like to write your own or edit the vows in this booklet,
you must have your changes available at the last counseling
session.
The Wedding Rehearsal
The wedding rehearsal is important to ensure that all
components of the actual ceremony will happen in a decent and
organized fashion. Please be on time for the rehearsal! See that all
participants are present. These include the couple, the best man,
the maid or matron of honor, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen,
ushers, parents, readers, acolytes, and the organist.
If you are planning on having vocal or instrumental music, special
arrangements should be made so that the soloist or other
instrumentalists and the organist can practice at an alternate
time.
The Wedding Service
The Christian wedding service is a time for joyous celebration.
The conduct of all participants in the service, however, should be
in keeping with the solemnity of the service. The Pastor reserves
the right to forbid any member of the wedding party from
participating in the service or to halt the service when members
of the party or any guests in the church are not conducting
themselves properly.
Decorations
All decorations should be tasteful and appropriate to the
occasion. No permanent holders (nails, glue, permanent tape,
etc.) should be used when affixing decorations to the pews.
Nothing may be placed on the baptismal font or the altar. Real
flower petals may not be used since they could stain the carpet or
runner. The Wedding Coordinator must approve the placement
of decorations.
