By now you have a good idea of ​​what you want your special day to look like. For many of you your wedding has been planned for years, in your head. You have dreamed of the day you would walk down the isle and your prince charming would only see you. Most women have dreamed of that magical moment. But the planning of your ceremony often stops there.

What do you want your ceremony to look like?

Before going to meet your wedding officiant here are a few things to do first:

o Decide what you want your ceremony to look like, not just what you do not want.
o Consider your values ​​and who you are. Are you spiritual, or traditional? Are you a particular culture / race / religion?
o Your ceremony should reflect you and your fiancé.
o Do you have a special song? Take music lyrics or poetry to your meeting. This is one place to include one of your friends who could not be a bridesmaid but reads well.
o Your ceremony can also be the time to express thanks to parents, remembrance to loved ones who have passed away or a time to include children of your spouse.
o Consider if you want a rehearsal and why you want it, even if it costs extra.
o Discuss if you want to be married by a male or female officiant
o Also decide whether you want to invite your officiant to the reception.

Once you have decided on your ceremony, talk about what you want in an officiant:

Consider these things:

o Choose someone who is reliable. Ask how long they have been in business. Can you find them on the web? Or on any social network?
o Choose someone who is ordained and licensed to marry in your province.
o Choose a person who contacts you quickly and professionally. Beware of calling a home where your message is left with a child or grandma
o Choose someone whom you feel comfortable and can talk with easily.
o Choose an officiant who brings resources with them and makes the whole process of constructing your ceremony easier. Do they have a website with resources?
o Choose an officiant who is willing to honor your desire for any additions you would like to include in the ceremony. And if a rehearsal is important to you ask if he / she is willing to exceed it. You need to feel confident that you will get the ceremony you want.
o Also, choose an officiant who appears to have good working relationships with some of the service providers you have already hired.

Before going to any meeting talk about what is important to you.
