About the Ceremony

Each ceremony is unique, in that you decide yourself what to include.  You might want to consider using any of the following:

• Introduction
• Readings
• Words from children of the relationship
• Words from a guest at the original wedding - often the Best Man
• Remembering absent friends
• New vows
• Re-dedication or new rings

The ceremony will last from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on what you decide to include, and we are happy to consider putting in other sections that you might think of that do not form part of our normal package.
