will be and what will be required of them.

We can also practice readings, vows and music as many times as we need to.

order.

I will send the signed Marriage Licence to Births Deaths and Marriages.

I will leave you with a copy of the ceremony and a copy of the

signed Marriage Licence for you to keep.

the exchanging of vows and rings and I do's. Wellington

We just want a short ceremony, is that OK?

So long as we cover the legal requirements to get married in your ceremony I am 100% happy to make the ceremony as short or as long as you would like it to be.
My only concern is that you are happy with your ceremony.
