азt’s 2022, така че няма да е изненада, че вече има срок за втората ви сватба. Не, не на нов партньор... по-скоро голямото парти и празненство, което идва след по-малко. Това е супер обичайно за хора, които бягат, и още по-често срещано в тези странни времена, когато може би сте имали малка сватба, виртуална сватба, или сватба в съда по време на пандемия, но планират по-голямо тържество за другата страна. Нарича се „продължение на сватбата“, защото това е просто... продължението на първата ви сватба. Ако се чудите за продължението на сценария на сватбената церемония...тогава тази публикация е за вас.

Позволете ми да започна, като кажа, че вие ​​абсолютно не сте, при всякакви обстоятелства, трябва да има последваща сватба. не. I didn’t and I won’t. We had our little 26-person (including us) wedding that I wouldn’t change for the world. But do I totally get the desire to have a second, low-stress / all-fun event where you can invite everyone and dance the night away? правя го. (See what I did there 😉)

Но, like all things wedding… there are questions and logistics and details to figure out. Possibly the main one being: Do we do another ceremony? And if we do, is it all just weird and fake because we’re trying to recreate a really intimate moment in front of people, but we aren’t actors? добре, we’re here to help with this (very valid) conundrum. But again, I’ll pause here to say that if you don’t want to do anything different and would rather use the same ceremony script you did at your original wedding… by all means, направи. And if you’d rather skip the ceremony part at the big party and just dance… do that. It’s your sequel wedding, след всичко.

When it comes to wedding ceremonies (OG or sequel), so much of it is personal preference, so just know that what we’re sharing here is a framework for you to build off and personalize to your heart’s content. We have also shared a number of wedding ceremony scripts that you are totally allowed to steal and have options for blended families and some really fantastic wedding poems that you could mix in. This sequel ceremony script follows the basic flow of any other wedding ceremony, but with some special elements that honor the occasion for exactly what it is.

Sequel Wedding Ceremony Script

Procession

Това е, разбира се, optional. If you want to have a full processional with you, Вашият партньор, членове на семейството, and wedding party… do it. Why not? And if you don’t? You don’t have to. You could start at the front, or just process with your spouse… this sequel wedding is yours to create.

Opening / Welcome

Служител: “Welcome family and friends. We are gathered here today to celebrate this very special occasion with _____________ and _____________. днес, we honor their love and marriage publicly.

_____________ and _____________ have spent years getting to know each other, и (a year ago), тези двама души се ожениха на красива частна церемония. И въпреки че повечето от нас не успяха да бъдат с тях този ден, пазихме ги в сърцата си и се радвахме на новината. Сега, ние сме тук, за да станем свидетели на това в какво се превърнаха техните отношения. днес, те ще потвърдят тази връзка официално и публично.

_____________ и _____________ ще отбележат прехода си като двойка не само като празнуват любовта помежду си, но и като празнуват любовта между всички нас - включително любовта на техните родители, братя и сестри, разширено семейство, и най-добри приятели. Без тази любов, днес би било много по-малко радостно.

_____________ и _____________, през изминалата година, вие продължихте да растете заедно, научете нови неща един за друг, и са се разсмивали взаимно. You’ve learned more about what it means to love and be loved, and the promises you made to each other on that special day have deepened each day since. Today you are not only recommitting to the right person, but you are also recommitting to being the right partner, the one with whom the other can stand and face the world.

днес, we honor your commitment, and share in this tremendous joy with you.”

Re-DECLARATION OF INTENT

Служител: “Do you _____________ still take _____________ to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?"

Partner A: “I still do.”

Служител: “Do you _____________ still take _____________ to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

Partner B: “I still do.”

Vow Exchange

(Забележка: If you didn’t write personalized vows for the first ceremony, this section can be an amended version of classic vows or any vows they feel good about reading in this public ceremony. Тук са our tips on writing vows.)

Служител: “To start, _____________ and _____________ have asked to share those first promises, those first wedding vows again here with their community. _____________, when you’re ready you may begin.”

Partner A: reads their vows.

Служител: “_____________, when you’re ready you may begin.”

Partner B: reads their vows.

Ring Exchange / Flash Those Rings!

Служител: “This is the part of the ceremony when we’d usually do a ring exchange, but _____________ and _____________ beat us to it…”

The Partners hold up their hands to show the guests their wedding bands.

(Или, if you’d prefer, re-do the ring exchange portion of your original ceremony. Why not?)

Other special inclusions

Just because this is a sequel wedding, doesn’t mean you should hold back at all. Add in any special elements that you wish you had at your first wedding, repeat any that you loved, and make it your own. A few ideas:

  • Cultural elements—breaking of the glass, hand-fasting, jumping the broom, и т.н..
  • Readings—ask family or friends to be involved in your sequel ceremony with a reading that feels special to the two of you.
  • Music—live music played by a member of your community.
  • Community vows—since this sequel wedding is all about community, ask your friends and family to join in the commitments with their own vows.

Pronouncement & (Второ) Kiss

Служител: “And now for the fun part. _____________ и _____________, on behalf of all those present here today, and by the strength of your own love, I pronounce you (very much, still) married.

You may once again seal your vows with a kiss.”

*This is where you kiss*

Recession (or not)

Because this is a second ceremony, there’s no marriage license to sign… so, head straight to the party. Exit your ceremony however you please… a recession, a dance party, a toast… whatever feels right.
