Example program for a wedding ceremony
An example program for a wedding without religious parts, with a Shakespeare sonnet, your own vows and a thank-you to your guests.

This program belongs to a wedding in a barn, led by a friend of the couple who was ordained to perform it. The officiant welcomes everyone and tells how the two met. A sister reads Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. Then come the declaration of intent, the couple's own vows, the rings and the pronouncement.
The program uses the modern design and lists the wedding party on the last page.
