expert advice MAP and COMPASS BEING ON THE TRAIL TOGETHER BY RICK & JENNIFER TAN There are miles of paths winding through brushy hillsides and forested terrain at the Point Reyes National Seashore along the coast of Northern California. Starting inland and hiking west, you reach its sandy beaches and catch the spray of the Pacific Ocean breaking against the headlands. The journey is a reward in itself, a magnificent endeavor requiring endurance, patience and dedication—the same can be said of being on the wedding trail! So you’ve met the love of your life, become engaged, and talked endlessly as lovers do about your future together. But to go from proposal to pronouncement, you’ve got a wedding to plan! At first, it seems like it would be easy enough—pick a place, plan the food, invite people, get your attire and rings, perform a ceremony, and then it’s party time. But the reality is, to have your dream wedding, while not losing sight of why you are doing this in the first place—being with your true love—you need to tend to a few vital points. Like starting a hike, you need to be equipped for the journey, which means being mentally and physically prepared. And more importantly, you need to both be on the same page together. Like having a map and a compass, you need to have an overall view of the terrain, as well as having a direction that you both want to go in. Here is a short list of questions you can both ask yourselves as you prepare for the wedding trail. They will help both of you get on the trailhead together, to stay focused, to reach decisions, and to make you think about what you value and cherish in your married life as equal partners. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELVES: • When, where and how did we first meet? • What drew us to connect with each other? • Do we consider ourselves to be best friends? • What are some interests we enjoy doing together? • What four qualities do we admire in each other? • How do we support each other’s endeavors? • How do we show love and sensitivity? • What do trust and respect mean in a relationship? • What is a promise, a vow, a covenant? • Where do we envision the wedding to take place? • How do we narrow down the guest list? • What is important in our search for the ideal officiant? • How are the exchange of rings significant to us? • What symbols of unity are important to us? • Will our faiths be incorporated into our wedding? • Do we want cultural rituals included in our wedding? • How do we picture the wedding celebration to be? • What is important to our parents, friends, and family? • How do we balance family wishes with ours? • Will our faiths be a driving force in our married life? • How will our cultural backgrounds enhance our life? • What does equal partnership mean in a marriage? CEREMONY CHOOSING YOUR OFFICIANT You’ve got the perfect venue to host your party, the cool DJ to play your song list, the caterer to serve up exquisite hors d’oeuvres—the stage is set to host your wedding celebration! But what about the ceremony? There is a key figure you will need: the officiant! The person presiding over your ceremony and expressing the words that will take you into your new life as a married couple plays an important role on your wedding day and can make all the difference between bliss and blah! Here are a few thoughts to consider. AT THE HEART OF THE CEREMONY So you’ve researched “wedding officiants,” maybe you’re following a recommendation from your venue or a vendor, or checked out the vendor lists in Real Weddings Magazine and on realweddingsmag.com, and it all led you to query the officiant. In your first meeting with him or her, listen for the words that will let you know you are on the right track, that important message of who the officiant understands is at the heart of the ceremony: “The ceremony is about the two of you.” MEANINGFUL WORDS OF LOVE You are two individuals on a shared path, enriched by different personalities, faiths and cultural backgrounds. The right officiant will embrace your unique qualities and encourage you to express your love through meaningful ceremony words. The officiant should be well-equipped in helping you create the perfect ceremony words where his or her expertise means offering you the freedom to customize your words, as well as access to outlines and passages, to give you direction and guidance. The right officiant respects your specific needs like bilingual services, and inclusion of cultural and faith-based rituals. And he or she should be able to accommodate rituals of gratitude, words of remembrance and readings because the officiant also understands how important your family and friends are. FROM START TO FINISH Communication. Collaboration. Convenience. From query to post-wedding checkin, your officiant should be able to provide you with timely communication through face-to-face meetings, emails, phone, text and Skype. Let your officiant know how much guidance and assistance you need through the wedding preparations—he or she should be open to your need for collaboration, not only with the process of revising and refining the ceremony words, but with the brainstorming for ideas, feedback, and recommendations to fine tune the ceremony. Communication and collaboration should be achieved conveniently with a platform for transacting business, as well with the exchange of ideas and ceremony drafts. The right officiant About Rick and Jennifer Tan: This will balance these three components of a professional service from start to finish. years of experience as officiants dynamic couple has more than 15 and musicians, and have developed Tan Weddings & Events to THE HEAD OF THE CEREMONY include event design, elopement, If you and your beloved are the heart of the ceremony, perhaps the officiant is the head of the cer- celebrates the joy of couples in and coordination services.
