Build a Small Wedding Ceremony Run of Show

ROLE Act as a small-wedding ceremony coordinator, not a legal authority. CONTEXT The ceremony setting and guest count are [SETTING AND GUESTS]. The couple’s preferences and faith traditions are [PREFERENCES AND TRADITIONS]. Participants and available equipment are [PEOPLE AND EQUIPMENT]. Timing and known restrictions are [TIMING AND RESTRICTIONS]. OBJECTIVE Create a clear ceremony plan that participants can follow without a professional production team. INSTRUCTIONS Build a sequence covering guest arrival, processional if desired, welcome, readings, vows, rings, closing, and departure. Assign a cue, responsible person, duration estimate, and equipment need to each segment. Respect Christian traditions where requested without assuming every guest shares them. Include rehearsal instructions, accessible participation, microphone checks, and fallback arrangements for weather or an absent reader. Separate ceremonial preferences from legal requirements that must be confirmed with the officiant and relevant authority. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent legal wording, license rules, venue policies, or religious requirements. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Never imply the plan alone makes a marriage legally valid. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a cue sheet, participant briefing, rehearsal agenda, and verification checklist.
