How the ceremony runs

Most ceremonies are kept under an hour, which suits couples who want something warm and direct. You can write your own vows, add readings in another language or request a religious element. Tell him early which traditions matter to you and your families.

Ask how to confirm the date, whether a rehearsal is included and how the signed marriage license is returned after the ceremony. California couples should also check county rules for the license well before the date.
