Designing a ceremony

Think about what you want guests to hear and feel. Decide whether you will write your own vows, include readings or rituals, and who will stand with you. Ask the officiant for a draft script ahead of time so you can edit wording about your relationship, your names and how you are introduced. Confirm who files the marriage license after the ceremony and what Missouri requires you to bring.

Rehearsal and timing

A short rehearsal helps the processional run smoothly. Ask how long the ceremony will last and whether a microphone is needed for an outdoor space.

It also helps to tell the officiant about guests with accessibility needs, such as seating for older relatives, and about anyone who will take part in the ceremony, such as readers or ring bearers. Send names and pronunciations ahead of time so nothing is awkward on the day.
