Officiant Script

So we actually just met with our officiant today (one of my FW's best friends who got ordained for our wedding) and what we did was I researched examples of scripts to see what we liked the best in terms of language. We met about a month ago and gave her some examples, discussed the history of our relationship, etc.

Then today, our officiant had taken those examples, picked out pieces from a few and added her own words in there as well. She will also say a story about our relationship (which she didn't tell us the exact verbiage so it would be a surprise, which is great) but everything else we know exactly how the script would go.

We are doing this! My BIL (brother's husband) got ordained specifically to wed me and FH. I spoke with him about a month ago and, as speech writing is part of my job, we agreed that I would have a hand in putting together the script. I will come up with the basic outline and fill in most of the language, however he has said that he has some stuff he would like to say and would sprinkle it in throughout. I'm going to provide him a "final draft" of the script about two months before the ceremony and that will be the last I will see of it. From there, he'll add in his anecdotes; that way, there would be a few surprises throughout the ceremony for myself. As an introvert, this is actually the best course of action for me since I will know most of what is being said beforehand and won't be too caught off guard.
