Ceremony Elements

---

A Customized Elopement Ceremony is typcially between 20-30 minutes long depending on the elements that you choose. Below is a list of possible elements to include, but anything can be added, removed or altered to your liking. Most importantly, this is your ceremony and should be authentic to the two of you and your story!

• Processional (Cue music & walk down "the aisle" )
• Welcome - (Welcome your friends & family, if applicable)
• Land Acknowledgment (Acknowledgment of the indigenous land)
• Moment of Presence (a moment to take it all in)
• Remembrance - Mention loved ones who have passed
• Your Love Story -You will each fill out a questionnaire that includes how you met & what you love about each other). This is often the part where people laugh and cry!
• Reading or poem of your choice 
• Unity Ritual - Choose from numerous options or create you own.
• Exchange of Marriage Vows (Write your own or choose from pre-written vows. I can assist with both!)
• Ring Exchange 
• Declaration of Marriage
• The Kiss
• Introduction of the newly married couple!
• Recessional (Cue your favorite music, and walk, skip, or dance down the aisle!)

**All elements are optional. You can choose to add or remove anything you like! The elements you choose will be personalized to your story.**
