From This Day Forward

The person you choose to marry you is going to share a very intimate and personal moment in your life. You want to select an officiant that you and your fiance both feel comfortable with and someone that you know will work with you to create the ceremony you want.

It is your decision whether you want to have any type of religious expression in your ceremony. In my experience, I find that most couples will want to have some type of blessing during the ceremony. However, if they do not want a prayer, or any mention of God or the Bible, then I prepare a personal ceremony for them that just reflects their special love for one another. You have the right to insist on your personal desires being expressed.
