Rebecca & Britinni’s Wedding Ceremony – What to Expect

Our ceremony blends our families, traditions, and faiths. Here’s a quick overview so you know what’s happening and when:

• Welcome
  Rebecca’s dad, Steven, will open the ceremony by welcoming everyone and sharing a few words about the meaning of this day.

• Honoring Loved Ones
  Aunt Kathy will speak in remembrance of Britinni’s mother and brother, keeping their love and spirit present with us.

• Personal Words
  Both Steven and Aunt Kathy will each share a few personal reflections.

• Unity Candle & Readings
  Two loved ones will offer short readings before Rebecca and Britinni light a unity candle together, symbolizing their two paths becoming one:
  • Christian Reading – Nikki
  • Jewish Reading – Elizabeth

• The “I Do” Vows
  Rebecca and Britinni will exchange the traditional “I do” vows (these are fixed and won’t be altered).

• Personal Vows & Rings
  They’ll then read their own vows and exchange rings, sealing their promises with this ancient symbol of unending love.

• Pronouncement & Kiss
  Steven will pronounce them married, followed by the big kiss!

• Breaking the Glass
  Rebecca and Britinni will close the ceremony with the Jewish tradition of breaking the glass. When it breaks, everyone is invited to shout “Mazel Tov & Congratulations!”

• Bubbles
  Please stand with bubbles in hand. Noah, our “Captain of the Aisle,” will cue the bubble guns for a joyful send-off as Rebecca and Britinni walk back up the aisle.

• Exit
  Immediately after the ceremony, the officiants will guide Rebecca and Britinni out first, followed by the wedding/bridal party, and then the family seated in the first row.

• Photos
  Once the couple exits, quick wedding photos will take place.

• Cocktail Hour
  Everyone else will be guided upstairs to the cocktail and beverage area by George, our wedding liaison. (Rebecca will check everything before photos begin.)
