I am the children’s pastor at our church and I have been asked to do something extremely weird in my opinion. A four year old in our church constantly talks about marrying her father and they are actually going to do a wedding ceremony for their birthdays (her birthday is 12-23, the dad’s is 12-24).

I need help with what to say for the ceremony. I want something that will sound cute and not weird. Thanks in advance.

This should be a huge warning sign that there is something un-natural going on.
As a pastor you are in a position to report this to your equivalent of child protection services.
Do not let this child be abused.

Decline this service. Take your position/job seriously.

If there isnt any thing untoward happening and you reported it. There is nothing to worry about.
It’s worse to ignore it when there is something going on.

Me and my family are planning to have a small like wedding ceremony for just family. My real wedding isn’t until next year Oct but we want to celebrator the signing of the papers. What is this called, and should I wear?

You can only have one wedding. After that, you are married and you cannot get any more married. Where did you grow up that you don’t know that? Please get a clue.

How long does a traditional Episcopal wedding ceremony last?

B.Q.: When is the first kiss part? I have read the ceremony online and it doesn’t say that there isn’t a kiss, but it doesn’t say when it would happen.

Thanks!

they normally last for about 20 to 30 minutes depending on things like how long the priest’s speech is, how many special things like unity candles, communion, etc. you include in the ceremony.

as for the kiss, that is at the absolute end of the ceremony after the priest pronounces you husband and wife, he will say to your fiance," you may kiss the bride." so the kiss is at the end. after the kiss, normally you will be introduced or presented to the congregation as mr and mrs (whatever you names are) and then the bells will ring and you will leave the church either to head to the receiving line or whatever you have planned next.

I’ve never really wanted a large wedding ceremony. My wedding will be in Galveston, TX. I was just wondering if it would be weird to have a private ceremony on the beach with just the groomsmen,bridesmaids and immediate family and then from there go to the reception location where there will be around 100 people. This would all be in the same day like a 6:30 private ceremony and then 7:00 reception. Just looking for some opinions.

Etiquette says this is fine, if that matters. But realistically, you’ll get some grumbles, especially since this isn’t really a "private" ceremony if you’re having bridesmaids and groomsmen. It’s a "small wedding", and that’s where people will feel somewhat snubbed. There are also those who will simply think you’re emphasizing the party portion at the expense of what really matters.

But this is all just keeping it real. It’s definitely ok to do this if you’re prepared for the "feedback"!

Me and my fiance have booked a beautiful reception hall that has a ‘ceremony room’ where we plan to get married.
What we were curious about is who plays the music ‘wedding march, etc.’ during the ceremony? The reception hall? The DJ? Do we bring our own boombox and cd?
I’ve never been to a wedding ceremony not in a church and so I don’t know what happens in this situation.

you have to ask your contact at the venue what their PA setup is. if they don’t have any equipment built in or available, then you have to ask your DJ to set up speakers in there. my wedding was outdoors and I hired 2 strings to play the processional and recessional. I found them by contacting the music dept of the local college. I also had my DJ set up a mic for our officiant so all the guests could hear her.

My brother is getting married, in the Presbyterian church, sooner than expected because his fiance’s father is sick. We are having a very small wedding with just immediate family. Four months from then, we will have a full wedding weekend for all friends and family. Is it possible to hold off on the rings at the first wedding and do a ring ceremony at the second one?

Of course. But if they feel that it’s necessary, for appearance purposes, they can get some costume jewelry or rings they already have and exchange those on the "pre-wedding" day. Then exchange the real rings at the full ceremony. That’s what my husband and I did. We weren’t able to afford rings at the time of our wedding, so we had to make due with what we had at the time. God bless you and your family!

We are anligcan and not really religious, but we do want a minister to marry us. How long is the wedding ceremony, and what all does it entail?

I’ve been to religious weddings that are only 20 minutes long. There’s no cookie-cutter way of doing it – you have the choice of how you want your ceremony to be.

The minister should help you build the ceremony. You can read vows to each other if you want, or you can have the minister read (and you just say "I do"). If you think it’s going to be too short, you can add a song, reading, or a poem. It’s also popular to do something symbolic during the wedding, like light a candle together, share a glass of wine, etc. Some people put sand in a bowl (look up sand ceremony). If it sounds lame, don’t feel obligated to do any of it. It’s your wedding and it should be about how you want to share your day with your guests!

When I got married, the minister had the whole ceremony written out, so my husband and I knew exactly what he was going to say before. We made a lot of changes too, so we were really involved with the process.
