Next steps
So you ask, "What is the next step?"
A meeting
To make is easy for everyone, I've
moved to using online conferencing for meetings. Here are some reasons
why:
- Easier to schedule and no travel.
- You can see me, we can all hear
each other, and if you have a camera on your laptop I can see you,
but not required for us to have a great meeting. And if one of you
don't have an internet connection, then the meeting can happen all
on the phone. Quite flexible.
- The meeting is recorded so that
you can click back to it for reference later.
- If you and your fiancé are in
different places, town, even countries, we can still have a great
meeting. And you can include family members to listen in, even if
they don't have a computer, on the conference line.
Note: The online meeting location is

After the meeting
If you choose to book the date after
the meeting, you can use the easy online forms and online payment.
Then, you choose and modify the ceremony, combine
them with one of your own, or
develop one that is unique to your desires. Lance will share with you
his lessons learned during the online meeting and you can use that
information to put together your own
unique ceremony on paper, checking to ensure that the ceremony flows
smoothly throughout.
If a personal meeting is something you really need to have, we'll
work with our schedules to make that happen.
Follow-up contact - Two weeks
before the wedding
At least two weeks before the wedding, you'll
need to send Lance's office your license and fee balance. Lance will complete your
certificate and get it back to and prepare the other parts for
submission after the ceremony. By doing this, we get all the paperwork
out of the way so that on your wedding day, we can focus solely on the
ceremony.
Wedding Rehearsals
Your coordinator or venue event manager will share with you their
normal processional details. To make it easy for you or
your coordinator, the ceremony logistics/directions are listed at the
beginning of every sample ceremony.
Day of
the wedding
Lance arrives at the wedding location approximately
an hour before the ceremony so that he can run through highlights of what
to do with the bride and the groom, brides maids/matrons, groomsmen,
musicians, and photographer. He will also meet with your
readers, father of the bride, best man, and any others who need last
minute reminders of the few cues they each will have.
It is time to begin the process...
- First, click
HERE and
complete my wedding information form which will provide me the details needed to serve you best.
- Next, email
to check availability and schedule a phone/web conference appointment for the first
meeting or other discuss details.
- To reserve your date and time,
you'll want to complete the
Booking
Agreement Form that is located here. Once you enter the
information and click submit, it will create a letter you can print,
sign, and mail or fax.
- Then, you will want to click
HERE to look at Lance's example ceremonies. Feel free
to cut and paste parts of several or make edits to these so that the
ceremony is tailored to best reflect the two of you as a couple. Read
this information, paste to a word document, make some choices and
changes, then bring it to our first meeting. If you bring this along
with you to the first meeting, we'll get the ceremony finalized
before you leave!

suggested readings.
