A wedding ceremony is a personal commitment between two people. Yet, usually, this deeply personal ceremony has a group of people witnessing it. For those who want to create and write a unique wedding ceremony, here are a few points to consider before beginning:

1. What overall impression are you trying to create? Your wedding can be joyous and lighthearted, solemn, romantic, serious, serene.

2. What is your theme? This does not have to be as overt as "A Maui beach wedding" or "skydiving into marriage." It can be subtle and woven through the ceremony. But your wedding, and your writing, will be more effective if you have a theme. Usually the wedding ceremony will have its theme in something that is important to both the bride and groom, some shared interest, or something related to where they first met. Define your theme, and the rest of your ceremony will practically write itself.

3. What do you want to say in your vows? Since this is really the reason for the day, you want to be as specific and as personal as possible here. You do not have to stick with traditional vows. You can say whatever is meaningful to you. Promise to cook lasagne once a week, if that's important. Vow to be kind to your in-laws. Speak about your hopes and dreams and your plans for the future. Be as down-to-earth or as dreamy and romantic as you wish. This is your special moment. Make the most of it.

4. What music will you use? Your theme will help you to make your music decisions. If you're using your first meeting as your theme, think about the music you associate with that, and with your courtship. Do you have a song that's "Our song" and would mean more to you when you walk down the aisle than the "Bridal Chorus?" Then use it. Music will evoke powerful emotions in you and your guests.

5. Do you want to tell your story during your ceremony? This can be very touching and will help to draw all of your guests closer to you and make them feel more involved in your ceremony.

6. How do you want to end your ceremony – with a blessing, with wishes for your future, or just the kiss? How do you want to be introduced in your new roles?

Once you've made these decisions, you can research each element online. You may wish to get help from sites offering wedding readings, wedding vows, and wedding ceremony writing services.
