Wedding Ceremony Ideas: Order, Vows & First Looks

The ceremony is usually the shortest part of the day and the part people remember longest. It is twenty or thirty minutes in which everyone you love is quiet at once, listening.

These stories walk through the ceremony from the first note of the processional to the recessional, with a guide to writing your own vows and a look at the private moment many couples now share before it all begins.
