Elizabeth Sheils, Bridal Bliss 

As a seasoned wedding planner, my journey down the aisle was a culmination of years of orchestrating dream weddings for others. Little did I know that my own nuptials would become a testament to the importance of personalized ceremony vows. In this blog, I share my story of deciding against writing our own vows, the regrets that linger, and the discovery of an incredible tool, Provenance, that could have transformed our wedding day.

The Decision to Opt for Standard Vows:

Like many couples, my now-husband and I were swept up in the whirlwind of wedding preparations. Amidst the floral arrangements, venue selections, and guest lists, the idea of writing our own vows felt like an overwhelming and unnecessary task. The fear of sounding cliché, awkward, or sappy in front of our nearest and dearest led us to choose the safety of standard vows provided by our officiant.

The Regrets:

As the years continue to go by, the regret of this decision continues to be a topic of discussion… even 8 years later, no joke! Life isn't just about health and sickness; it's about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. So I really can’t help but think, wouldn’t it be so great to have something to look back on, as a captured moment in time, and still feel like it holds true all these years later? Maybe vow renewal planning needs to be in our future!

Discovering Provenance for Weddings:

Recently, I stumbled upon a game-changing tool, Provenance, designed to alleviate the anxiety surrounding vow writing. This platform offers guidance not only to couples but also to officiants, best men, and maid of honors in crafting personalized vows, ceremony scripts, and speeches.

Embracing Personalization:

In hindsight, the nerves and apprehensions that deterred us from writing our own vows now seem trivial. Provenance offers a structured yet personalized approach, ensuring that every couple can articulate their love authentically. Its user-friendly interface and thoughtful prompts make the vow-writing process an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

A Plea to Future Couples and Wedding Planners:

My regret serves as a cautionary tale for couples and fellow wedding planners alike. Don't let fear or uncertainty dictate a decision! Encourage your clients to embrace the power of personal vows and consider utilizing tools like Provenance for Weddings to guide them on this transformative journey.

How to Officiate a Wedding: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Steven Greitzer, Founder and CEO of Provenance and an experienced officiant himself, likes to think of the qualifications required of an officiant as "soft" and "hard." The "hard qualifications" are those legal expectations. "If not a religious, civil, or professional officiant, anyone asked to officiate can explore getting ordained online," he says. "For some online ministries, the process can be as easy as sharing your name, email, confirmation of being 18+ in age, and agreeing to basic tenets (which can be secular, even if the website says 'ministries')."

How to Word a Moment of Silence in a Wedding Ceremony Script

A moment of silence in a wedding ceremony holds deep meaning. It allows couples and their loved ones to reflect, pay tribute, or honor those who are absent, whether it be deceased family members, close friends, or other cherished people who couldn't attend the celebration. It also serves as a collective pause, inviting everyone present to be present in the moment and offering a chance for personal introspection.
