Rehearsal Planning Guide

Your rehearsal is an important part of your wedding ceremony planning.  The rehearsal helps each member of the wedding party know what is expected of them.  It reduces the amount of stress experienced at the wedding.  While it is optimal to have a professional wedding coordinator or director available at your rehearsal, that is not always possible.  This guide will help you plan and run your rehearsal when you do not have a professional on hand to do so.

How to Get Your Marriage License

No matter where you live, you must get a marriage license in the state in which you are getting married.  Each state has different requirements for getting your marriage license.  If you are getting married somewhere other than North Carolina, check with your local register of deeds or clerk of court for the requirements of the state where you plan to get married.  This information is the most current information available for marriages in North Carolina.

Geeky, Offbeat and Themed Weddings

We have done weddings where it all flows and blends beautifully regardless of the genre of movie, comics, games, or books. Or, if your love of cars is a vital part of your relationship, we can drive the point home during your ceremony. This blog post explores how to pick and carry out a theme.

MultiCultural and InterFaith Ceremonies

You want to combine your cultural histories into your ceremony to honor your family background while keeping the ceremony to truly reflect your love and relationship.    We will work with you to reflect your multi-cultural relationship, placing the traditions, readings, and rituals that are meaningful to you. We develop your ceremony to reflect your history, your relationship and love in culturally appropriate traditions and rituals.

You want to merge your two different faiths, honoring each of them equally.  Together we decide on the values and beliefs that you want to honor.  Then, we write your ceremony to reflect each faith tradition equally, respectfully and without holding one above the other.
