Our opportunity to work out all the details so your big day is just fun, meaningful and awesome!
We'll figure out…
Your Wedding Location:

- Weather considerations
- Special needs of anyone included

Where the Groom and Groomsmen will be before the ceremony
Where the rings will be kept and how they're delivered to the Ringbearer (or…)
Are there any family members to be seated (particularly moms)? By who? When?
Who gets the wedding party in place from their rooms, for the ceremony start
Where the Groom, Wedding Party, Flower Girl and Ringbearer, and the Bride will enter from (which door or entry to the ceremony)
Where the Groom, Wedding Party, Flower Girl and Ringbearer, and the Bride will exit (which door or entry from the ceremony)
Music:

Order and how you want the wedding participants to enter and stand
Aisle runner? If so, when laid out and by who
Rose Presentation, Wine Ceremony, Bread Ceremony, Unity Candle Ceremony details - when, where, how
Where the Bride and Groom stand during the ceremony
Who hands the rings to the Bride and Groom during the ceremony
Are there any family members to be included? How?
Will someone be giving the Bride away
Which way to face during the ceremony (Bride and Groom; Wedding Party)
Where does the Bride's bouquet go during the ceremony
The Ceremony specifics
Also, it's smart to bring the Marriage Certificate and License to the ceremony – the Best Man
should handle getting this to me. It's a lot better than trying to remember that one more thing on the big day!
Finally, pay all of your vendors at the Rehearsal – again, you don't want details to handle on the day of your ceremony!
