We met with the Officiant last night, and were really impressed. She was really nice and seems very "go with the flow". It is awesome that we pretty much get to customize how our ceremony will be in terms of what is said and the length. He is thinking less than 10, but I am hopping for at least 10 to make it a little bit more memorable. But, we'll see what gets played out.
She gave us examples of readings, verses, vows, unity items, and more to use. We mainly just have to go through the material and pick which ones we want, or if we like a couple - we can combine and she'll make it work. I love that.
Ya know, I never mind sitting through a wedding ceremony... but it always seemed to go on forever when the pastor/priest did the sermon. I know that's nice and all, but to me - it's not needed. Let us do the other stuff, skip a sermon, and make it official. She is pretty much doing that.
In other news, we sent the tentative booking information to the band we're getting... so that is exciting. The whole time we have thought about doing a band instead of a DJ. For one, everyone does DJ's and sometimes the cheesiness that they bring can be too much (inflatables, feather boas, games, etc.). We have seen this band play before at wedding receptions and enjoyed that all they did was play music - and good music. It's also nice that they are able to play certain songs that we want (like couples dance, father/daughter/mother/son), as music is important to me. I think they'll do a good job to cap off the celebration. We both have a lot of friends that dance, too.
Next up - Flowers, Cake and the little things. Oh, and maybe some engagement pics too.
