Officiant Phone Call - April 6

We had a phone call with BJ, our officiant and Madison's cousin, today and worked out the order of the ceremony.  He explained the order and phrasing of the ceremony he normally conducts and we talked about good placements for the items we want to add in, two readings and a song.  The ceremony will run about 25 minutes or so.  We also set up a date for our premarital counseling with BJ.

The newest order is as follows:

Processional
Pledge of Support by Parents
Welcome
Address to Couples and Congregation
Meditation on Marriage
Michael and Al (Megan's dad and uncle) sing a song
Statement of Intent (I Dos)
Bible Reading - Ephesians 5:22-33
Vow Exchange
Ring Exchange
Bible Reading - Colossians 3:12-17
Unity Candle Lighting
Presentation of the Couple
Recessional

Now that we have the order set, we can finish the programs!
