Why you don't Need Three Readings in your Non-religious Civil Wedding Ceremony

Posted by Doncrack Friday, May 15, 2009

In removing religious content and references from the marriage ceremony civil celebrants and non-denominational wedding officiants have converted religious practices, such as incorporating three readings and blessing of wedding rings, into their secular equivalents without necessarily questioning that they should be included at all.

The reason there are three readings in the religious marriage ceremony is because a Christian religious marriage ceremony is defined as a service of worship and all services of worship include a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament and the Epistles. Each has a particular liturgical importance and religious significance because they are from different parts of the scriptures that Christians regard to be holy.

Remove that significance and it is hard to justify the necessity for including three poems, three extracts from works of poetical prose, or a mix of these. And it definitely is not necessary to have them read one after another so that they create a sort of intermission in the ceremony.

That is not to say that readings do not have a role in a marriage ceremony. They can perform three very important functions:

1.Having a reader come up from among the guests to read a poem or piece of prose is a visual opportunity to emphasise the connection between the couple and the community of friends that supports them.
2.A reading can provide a concise commentary on some aspect of the relationship or of marriage in a way that taps into both an emotional and intellectual wellspring of meaning
3.A reading can add light and color to the ceremony by taking the focus off the officiant/celebrant.

But a reading can also be used as padding that adds little.

The good news is that when the rigid three-readings-in-here structure is removed you are free to include what you want read wherever in the ceremony it will have the greatest impact and contribute to the flow of the ceremony rather than impeding it.

Question the practice, choose your reading(s) if any mindfully, include it in the ceremony where it best fits, and relax and enjoy an amazing wedding ceremony that speaks to the heart of everyone there.

Memorializing Deceased Family Members in your Wedding Ceremony

Posted by Doncrack Sunday, March 22, 2009

Everlasting Light Unity Candles


Your wedding day can be a bittersweet celebration if you've lost a parent or other close family member. While on the one hand, you're thrilled to be proclaiming your love and commitment before your family and friends, you can't help but be saddened that it's not your father's arm upon which you'll be walking down the aisle or that the place of honor for the groom's mother is conspicuously vacant.

Whether your family member has recently passed away or it has been many years, the void is felt on this day more so than any other. How do you honor these family members while balancing the joy of your wedding celebration? Here are some tips on how to incorporate the memory of your loved ones without turning your wedding ceremony into a funereal experience.

Be sure to discuss your wishes with three very important people--your fiancé(e), any surviving spouses of the deceased, and your officiant. You will want to let your fiancé(e) know to what depth you want your deceased family member mentioned in the ceremony. Be sure you are both on the same page in your comfort level with this. Bear in mind that this is also a difficult time for the surviving spouse. You'll want to ascertain their comfort level with whatever honorarium you elect to incorporate. And lastly, use your officiant as a resource. He or she has done this a time or two and can make suggestions as to how to tactfully memorialize your loved one. Your officiant should also be alerted to the fact that the wedding day will be a difficult time for certain family members and he or she can assist by extending comfort and support where needed.

It might be easier for you to honor your loved one at the rehearsal dinner than on the day of the wedding itself. Since it is customary for the bride and groom to toast their parents at this dinner, it would be a natural extension to say a few words in tribute to your deceased family member. The rehearsal dinner will have less people than the wedding so it might increase your comfort level in speaking about such an emotional occurrence. Also, it is likely that your closest friends and family will be in attendance at the rehearsal dinner, making an emotionally intimate moment all the more meaningful.

If you'd rather include a memorial on the wedding day itself, consider the following options.

Place some words of tribute into your program.

Have an empty chair in remembrance of your family member. The bride or groom may place a rose on the chair as they pass, in silent tribute.
In response to the question, "Who gives Bride in marriage?" the response might be, "In memory of her mother (father), I do."

The bride might want to carry a memento of her loved one--a handkerchief, a piece of jewelry, or a small photography tucked into her bouquet.

After welcoming the guests, your officiant may add words saying, "Before we begin our celebration today, Bride and Groom would like us all to take a moment to remember those family members who can be with them today solely in spirit, especially (insert names).

Include a photo of the deceased family member on the altar or unity candle table.

Have a memorial candle which the bride or groom (or both) will light at the start of the ceremony.

Compile a floral centerpiece. Have a vase on the altar, or at the back of the ceremony site. Give each guest a flower as they enter and have them place it in the vase. During the ceremony, one last flower can be placed in the vase in memory of the deceased family member. As a final symbolic gesture, the bride and groom can each insert a red rose into the center of the arrangement, signifying them being surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends. The arrangement can be used to decorate the head table or in another location at the reception.
Have a song or reading at the ceremony and dedicate it to your deceased love one.

At the reception, if the deceased was either the groom's mother or the bride's father, the bride or groom can dance the "parent's dance" with another partner, but dedicate that special dance in memory of their parent.

If you have a blessing said prior to the meal, the minister can incorporate a few words about the deceased.

However you decide to memorialize your loved one, remember that it is an intensely personal decision and there is no right or wrong way. What matters is your comfort level. Expect that your wedding day will be a roller coaster of emotions (it is for everyone, regardless of whether or not they've experienced the death of a family member).and be gentle with yourself and each other. And remember that you and your new spouse will have a very special guardian angel looking over for you as you enter your married life together.
