Ceremony Worksheet

Print this sheet and use it to mark your selections. We've given you room under each heading to write the numbers/letters of your choices as well as any edits or notes you might want to make. If you have more than one favorite--list them all (although we suggest that you make a concerted effort to whittle your choices down to three or less).

Remember that for Statement of Intention, Vows and Exchange of Rings, the bride and groom do not have to say the exact same wording to each other--you can have separate wording for those components if you wish.
