Question

A Quaker Wedding Ceremony? It's my first time. What do I need to know?

Answer

We have chosen this style of ceremony because it is centered around community. 1. You are welcome to stand and share a short message, blessing, or memory if you feel moved to do so (think heartfelt toast). 2. There is no expectation or pressure to speak. 3. Moments of silence will separate each speaker. 4. There will be no officiant. 5. The ceremony will conclude after the couple shares their vows and the wedding certificate is signed.
