Elopement Ceremony Script Guide

A guide to choosing the perfect ceremony for your formal elopement or small wedding. 
​
If you have scheduled a wedding in our office, we will perform a non-religious, civil ceremony.  We do not offer a ceremony script choice with our civil ceremony service performed in our office or outside on Monument Circle. 

What words speak to you? 

I offer a wide selection of shorter elopement ceremonies for couples to choose from.  If you book a small wedding or elopement you are welcome to choose one of these shorter ceremony scripts and write your own personal vows.  You are welcome to choose different vows, ring meanings and ring exchanges from my selections.  You can say, "We want Elopement Ceremony 8 but with Elopement Vow Option 5. 

Some couples will take bits and pieces from several ceremonies to create their own ceremony.  Please know you are welcome to do that!  You are also welcome to provide me with any short ceremony you would like me to perform.  Some of my most popular options have come from couples who already knew the ceremony they wanted!  Please just give me enough time to practice the ceremony a few times. Please email your script to me at [email protected].  

Personal Preferences

Please  let me know if you have preferred pronouns. Included in these preferences may be "spouse" or "partner"  instead of husband and wife. If you cultural tradition excludes kissing at the end of your ceremony, please let us know.

Have you chosen a ceremony but want to change the vows?  No problem!

You may want to leave this part out, or choose what your rings mean to you.

You may choose to say nothing as you exchange rings too!

There is something perfect for just about everyone in this script.

This is kind of like a traditional civil ceremony - only more romantic!

This one is for soul mates and believers in destiny!

Fall into mutual weirdness and call it love! Always, and until the very end.

They are joining themselves.  Each, to the other...

I truly believe you find that person that can turn your life around...

These are the hands of your best friend, holding yours...

This is more for a wedding then an intimate elopement.

Sometimes you just want the basic ceremony you hear in the movies.
