Every love story has something unique to honor , which means every wedding day is bound to be different.

No matter what style of ceremony appeals to you or who you belief to officiate, these gender-neutral, LGBTQ+ wedding ceremony script and reading ideas are the inspiration you necessitate for creating your desire ceremony.
The Formatting Of A Wedding Ceremony
The words said during your wedding ceremony will be some of the most important on your big day. But before you can highlight on the words, you have to understand what you want your ceremony structure to look fond of. The formatting of every ceremony will differ based on a variety of things, but here is a general format that’ll give you a enhanced idea of what you want to incorporate.
1. The Processional
The processional is the beginning of a ceremony where the flower young woman, ring bearer, your wedding parties, and immediate family members walk down the aisle together. Everyone will then take their seats in preparation for the couple&
As we’ve blogged about elsewhere, our ceremony was led by a celebrant. This means it was a bit different to your standard wedding ceremony led by a registrar. Our celebrant was Hannah Jones, and she worked with us for 6 months to create a ceremony that was meaningful to us, and represented what we believe marriage to be for our relationship. She was exceptional, and all our guests agreed, we can’t recommend her enough.
You’ll have to wait for our wedding video and photos to see parts of the ceremony itself, but here’s an overview of what happened:
Our Entrance
We walked down the passage to Holly Maher’s “Perfect Day“. The room we got married in had two doors at the back of the room, so Gemma’s sister Laura, and Emily’s brother Luke, walked in from either side, met in the middle and walked to the front. We then followed the same way, with each of our parents with us, met in the middle, and then walked the concluding aisle together.
Standing outside that door waiting to leave in was some of the most overwhelming nerves we’ve ever felt, but seeing each other walking across the room with everyone gasping as we walked in felt awes
Same Gender Wedding Ceremony
Word of welcome
My mention is (Officiant), and I have the privilege of demonstrating this ceremony today. On behalf of (Partner 1) and (Partner 2), welcome and thank you for being here.
They are thrilled that you are here today to divide in their bliss during this marvelous moment in their lives.
By your presence, you celebrate with them the treasure they have discovered in each other and you endorse their decision to commit themselves to one another for the rest of their lives.
The greatest happiness of animation is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves. If there is anything finer than being loved, it is loving.
This afternoon we are here to mark love. We appear together to witness and proclaim the joining together of these two people in marriage.
This is the union of two individuals in heart, body, thought, and spirit, Therefore, marriage is not to be entered into lightly, but reverently, honestly, and deliberately. And it is into this union that (Partner 1) and (Partner 2) come now to be joined.
Reading
Now a reading that express the instinct of joy and love on this occasion. It is called 'To My Friend':
I love you not only for what you
A queer wedding ceremony script with a ring warming ceremony
We recently published JP and Scott's beautiful wedding in California. When they shared their queer wedding ceremony script with us, we were moved by the humor, personality, and interactive guest opportunities. This nontraditional queer ceremony script included readings from Neil Gaiman, Obergefell v Hodges, and one of the most unique ring-warming ceremonies we've ever seen… featuring plush toys of Dolly Parton and Skeletor!
The ceremony was officiated by Jason Michael Snow, a Broadway and film/TV star. JP and Scott appreciated how Jason used humor and charm to preserve the ceremony moving along, while still taking wonderful care to make sure the moments of zealous connection could land and be appreciated by all. There's even a lovely moment where guests are asked to share memories of the couple.
Also, how cool is it that they called their wedding party “Fellow Travelers”? We love a fine alternative wedding party name! This queer ceremony script was almost a production in itself, which is so fitting of a couple who loves Broadway and RuPaul's Drag Race.
