Alternatives for Ceremony

Well, first off, I'd like to say that unless this is something that you want to change, don't. You do not have to tailor your ceremony because of a conservative family, as God loves us all the same exactly the way we are.

That being said, you can basically say whatever the heck you want during your ceremony. I would suggest looking into a non-religious LGBTQ friendly officiant, I bet they have tons of scripts that you could go off of!

Our wedding was ‘traditional’. We didn’t get married in a church, but we did have our wedding at a venue. And our LGBTQ friend also officiated our wedding. I also have family members who are conservative, my mom in particular. But, we didn’t let that stop us from doing what we wanted to do. I think you all should do whatever you want and make it special for the both of you.
