Civil Ceremony

Some of the details we had for our civil wedding was:

Music: 2 songs chosen as the wedding party and we the Grooms entered

Escorting down the aisle: It was nice that we personally told the ladies (moms) to walk us down. My mom escorted me down and husbands aunt until the staircase. Once in a lifetime memory to remember.

Small details: aisle runners can be done to mark where you want the path by flower petals lining along the chairs, small floral hanging off the edging of the chairs, lanterns, or a runner itself.

You basically have 'carte blanche' meaning that you could approach it any way you'd like! We still wanted to keep it somewhat traditional, so we're approaching it the same way a religious couple would, but without the religious aspect (no church, no minister, no prayers and we're writing our own vows).

In other words, we're still having a ceremony, processional and recessional, including music too! We'll select a couple of readings with our officiant, as well as tell her (I'm pumped to be having a women marry us, btw!!!) what type of vibe we want for the bilingual ceremony.
