DECLARE YOUR INTENT
The most well-known part of the ceremony, where you and your partner say "I Do" to signify that you are choosing to marry your partner of your own free will.
Referred to as the Declaration of Intent, this is the basic legal requirement that you need to get married. Some form of this is required by the State of Utah.
I have it serve as the beginning of the official ceremony and flow into the vows and ring ceremony.
EXCHANGE
OF RINGS
When you (the couple) exchange rings you have an opportunity to speak meaning into the act of giving.
The phrase that you choose will be repeated by both of you, this is the "Repeat after me..." part of the ceremony.
I will break the phrase into small, easy to recite pieces. That you will repeat after me.
If you like we can combine elements from multiple options, or even create your own!
WEDDING
VOWS
This part of the ceremony is where the two of you make promises (vows) to each other. They are most often read or recited mid-way through the ceremony at the designated time.
Many couples choose to write their own vows; doing so is a way to add your personality to the ceremony.
​
There are several ways you can incorporate this into your ceremony if you choose to do so. Having the vows section, is optional, and can be omitted if you desire.
