Wedding Ceremony Mythology: Some Things Just Need To Stay As They Are! By Celebrity Wedding Officiator Dr. Linda

At the wedding ceremony rehearsal, the maid-of-honour says, “Hey, I think that it would be really cool for the wedding officiator to stand with their back to the wedding guests! Don’t you!”  At first, this suggestion seems to defy convention, and provide an interesting option to the marrying couple.  Even gives the illusion of diminishing the perceived traditional dominance of the officiator in a standard pose and positioning. Without thinking it through, the bride and groom agree, and arrange accordingly. This is great, bride and groom will really stand out, the wedding guests will see them better……! So, what’s wrong with this?

Reason # 1 – This Wedding Officiator Says, “STOP!” – The Foreground Is Called The Foreground For A Reason!

Who is in the foreground will more naturally stand out in the pictures. This is also true for the live audience. Especially, when, the wedding officiator is on the same level as the guests. And, if there is not much difference in the elevation between the officiant’s position and the marrying couple.  See this publicly posted picture of such a configuration.

Do You Think Reason # 1 Is Valid?

She is a Wedding Ceremony Trendsetter.  She and her team of Wedding Ceremony Writers & Professional Officiators write and officiate Designer Wedding Ceremonies in Southern California.

Hiring A Wedding Officiator is Like Trying on a Comfortable Pair of Jeans - By Celebrity California Wedding Officiator, Dr. Linda

Our LegallyMarried & The Clergy Network phone rang. On the dialing end was an officiator shopping bride. What was this bride's deal breaker? Would she know it was him or her when she met them? Perhaps, she would have a "good feeling". Definitely, not wanting a novice or someone without a background check? Right? Perhaps, it was all about price? Certainly, she wanted to hire a reliable one! Now, saying that, probably our most popular comment by a marrying couple is, "We are looking for just the right fit"! After 24 years, one could imagine how many times this was the recurring descriptive for filling the officiator position.

Now, its 2014, you are getting married. Is this your descriptive too? Then, this image, from the 1st ever Wedding Ceremony Art Gallery by a bunch of Celebrity Officiators, is my initial contribution. The Pin is at: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/412220172114744052/ But, there is more, if you are searching for 'Just the right fit" in a wedding officiator, let's talk. I would like to write a collaborative blog article with tons of brides about "Just the right fit". I have already written on this before, but, this is 2014! Let's start fresh. What does it mean when you say, “I am looking for just the right fit??” Regards, Dr. Linda

It’s Not Your Mother’s Marriage Ceremony ….. Or Is It? By Dr. Linda Of www.legallymarried.com

March 5th 2011 - Traditional & Usual Wasn’t Their Style – But, Rather Sentimental & Participatory & Engaging! A Younger Wedding Ceremony Mindset for A New Century!

Clara And John - As a Bride and Groom, A Pleasant Surprise !

After a complete survey, during the ceremony planning session with Dr. Linda, this 50 something wedding couple “saw the technological light”. This is why!

Clara and John are a happy age-matured couple, and at the threshold of a second marriage. Their minds were clear with the assertion that this marriage ceremony would be all the previous ones had not been. Their former marriage ceremonies were as dull and lifeless and insignificant as the marriages they left behind. But, this wedding ceremony was going to be a “microcosm” of their definitive commitment to a marriage which would end only with the death of one or both! Although living most of their adult life in the 20th century, they were searching for meaningful wording, ideas and unique participation. This couple chose to use new technology in their nuptial ceremony, on the suggestion of The Clergy Network Wedding Officiants of Southern California. A brain child of Dr. Linda Wainwright Trott, TCN’s newest ceremony think tank is providing captivating ideas for 21st century life celebrations!

The American Wedding Ceremony Not Being Redefined by The 21st Century Bride? Or is it?

How Does The Younger Generation See The Marriage Ceremony?

The American bride might or might not be ready to alter the essential core of the wedding ceremony. In short, trending away from the expected marriage ceremony wording and inclusions to something more this century remains to be seen. After all, what is this century all about, for it is merely a newborn in the sands of human time?

As Wedding Ceremony Writers & Presiders, The Clergy Network Wedding Officiants of Southern California seem some what alone in the new style scripting of the “I Do” celebrations for this generation. This kind of scripting takes acumen, and few possess this. It takes marrying couples wanting to think differently.  Yet, on the technological front, yes, brides and grooms are using new technology to plan or research, but the corporate mind of twenty – somethings is not yet geared to thinking differently about the nuptial ceremony. The perception is that the wedding ceremony is a necessary evil to please family and friends, something that has an unchangeable format, or is the way it is because the “law” says so.

It just takes time for a new culture to define itself – perhaps the couples of this current generation are to close to the 2oth century to recalibrate. Maybe, they just need to know that there are alternatives. Or, we just need to excite them a bit more to expression. And, yet, what is true about the marriage ceremony, as we westerners have know it, is that it has its timeless elements – These things do not essentially change. Nor, should they? Committed Love, lasting marriage, a healthy family life and the pursuit of a true happiness that overflows to the benefit of others, need always be fashionable and trendy and present – These are some of the absolutes that stand alone in each generation!

What About Clara and John? How Did Their 21st Century Style Wedding Ceremony Turn Out!

This more 21st century minded couple, sought participation from the represented generations on their wedding day. From the custom written ceremony wording to the partnership of family members during the ceremony, it was simply charming. But, the prerecorded dialogue between the bride and groom, complete with background music, this was a 21st century super star! http://www.legallymarried.com/  was the perfect match for this future reaching couple; perhaps we have started a few new trends, just for this century’s brides and grooms. We will write more about “21st Wedding Trends”, of which we hope to be the “Trend Setters”!

How To Include A Friend In Your Southern California Marriage Ceremony - www.legallymarried.com

A Friend Is A Friend Is A Friend – Including A Friend In Your Marriage Ceremony!

Copyright - The ClergyNetwork - February 19th 2011

Someone once said that “Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.” Including a friend or friends in a marriage ceremony is a pleasant trend. In writing a marriage ceremony, which includes the interaction of others, a few thoughts start the planning. Questions, such as, Whom? Where? When? How? Each question needs some thought.

Custom Written Wedding Ceremony Which Includes Friends Participation

The “Who” answer, can be simple or complicated. Simple, if one finds no reason to choose between so many friends, that others will be hurt when not included. - The decision is clear cut as to whom. Complicated, if the close friendships are many, too numerous to not breed confusion and exclusion. In any event, if one or many, a friend or friends, may participate well before the ceremony day. In advance, by submitting their personally written well wishes or poems or selected reading of marriage quotes or collected advice from family and friends. Or, by researching and adapting a wedding custom to fit the bride's and groom's lifestyle.

In short, friends may participate by providing original materials prior to the ceremony day, or bringing surprise words of love and encouragement during the ceremony itself. Friends participation can be segregated on the basis of interest or talent or closeness of relationship. There are those who provide the word and idea resources for others to implement, and those who will actually do the presenting during the ceremony. Whether signing as a witness on a decorative marriage certificate during the ceremony or reading quotes about love and marriage or giving a gift, on behalf of the bride and groom, to their parents, a friend  can participate in the marriage ceremony, far beyond that of standing wedding party. We have many ideas and will write more on the subject at another time.

In the meantime, if you are having a 2011 Southern California wedding ceremony … The Clergy Network of Southern California, writes and presides custom interactive wedding ceremonies. Not cut and paste excerpts from trite and overused materials found on the Internet, but custom written! We know how to include a friend or friends a marriage ceremony, before the day, or on the day.

Southern California - What Makes A Person A Legitimate Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy? - www.legallymarried.com

February 9, 2011 – A Bride asks her Orange County California Event Coordinator - “…We have a lay officiant conducting our ceremony, he is from San Diego county and he wanted to make sure that he would be able to perform the ceremony in Orange county. Do you know if he needs to have a license from orange county in order to perform the ceremony?...”

PROBLEM - INTERNET ORDINATION - Calfornia State Has Some Control Over Legitimacy, But Not Over Competency Or Quality Of Service!

How does a bride and groom know that their Wedding Officiant or Wedding Minister or Civil Ceremony Officiant is legally able to preside (solemnize) a marriage ceremony in California state or in a county of  that state's jurisdiction? Good questions…let us answer the question generally first.

The State of California posts the following as a legitimate Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy. Please note that “authority” to preside a wedding ceremony does not speak to the issue of competency! Any group can form a “religious non-profit”, and “ordain for profit”, thus so many tragic wedding stories of couples weddings ruined by officiators who only purchased the “authority” to marry via the Internet. This is an illegitimate way to become an officiator, without education or training in public speech presentation, marriage law, ceremony writing, social psychology, etc., there is no competency -  the obligation is not taken seriously! “Pocket change” wedding officiants are phenomena in this current economy. The state of California’s CDC posts the following:

"4. What authorization do I need to perform a marriage in California?

• In California, it is the ordination or investment by the denomination that gives each clergy member the authority to perform the marriage rite. Family Code, Sections 400-402 are the statutes pertaining to who can solemnize a marriage in California.

5. What statutes do I need to know to perform a marriage in California?

• The marriage officiant who performs the marriage ceremony must know the California laws regarding the performance of a marriage and the requirements for officiants. Family Code, Sections 420-425 are the statutes pertaining to the performance of a marriage in California. Please visit http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/  for the full Family Code sections.

Who Do I Contact To Ascertain My Proposed Wedding Officiant's Legitimacy?

 

The State of California will not confirm the legitimacy of any Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy! To find out if your Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy is ordained or invested by their denomination, ask for paperwork or information on whom to contact for verification of the same. If from an Internet Only Ordination Group (posing as non-profit, but acting for profit only) , know that there is no education, training or background check of the applicant required, and that the "ordination fee" is what grants a person the "right to preside" a marriage ceremony.  After this illegitimate ordination or investement via the Internet, no matter how bad a job they do or unethical they are, these Wedding Officiants only have to pay their yearly fee to remain "ordained"! After all, for these fake denominations and religions, it is all about the profit margin ! Also, if the Wedding Officiant holds legitimate earned titles, such as “Doctor”, they may or may not be ordained or invested. Likewise, the title "Doctor", "Reverend", "Clergy" may also be purchased for a fee on-line!

Chinese Wedding Ceremony Customs - East Meets West Wedding Officiants - Los Angeles & Orange County - California

February 5th 2011 -  - "What customs might be in a Chinese marriage ceremony, but not in a modern Western marriage ceremony"?  Original Ideas By http://www.legallymarried.com/

Answer - East Meets West

With this year's Chinese Theme of Peace,  writing a wedding ceremony on theme will include some Chinese custom, adaptation with western ideas, and inclusions personal to each bride and groom. A well written marriage ceremony should be a microcosm of the couple's lives - history, personality, hobbies, occupation are some of the considerations which assist in the shaping of a personalized wedding ceremony wording. 

Chinese Custom Adapted- In Chinese wedding traditions, a groom is often symbolically “dressed” by his parents. In a modern western adaptation of the same, the parents may assist in the selection of the wedding attire, along with the bride and groom. The Groom's parents may purchase a piece of jewelry or coin, whether carried in the pocket or pinned on prior to the wedding ceremony. The jewelry piece will symbolize the Chinese wedding year theme of peace. This suggestion is an original from The Clergy Network  - Los Angeles & Orange County Wedding Officiants, and provided by their professional wedding ceremony writers.

Wedding Ministers Los Angeles - What Type Of Wedding Officiant is A Wedding Minister?

February 2, 2011 –Wedding Ministers Los Angeles– Civil or Religious Marriage Ceremony At Your Wedding Location - Is The Wedding Minister the Type of Wedding Officiator I Am Looking For? 

What Is A Wedding Minister In Los Angeles?

If it is a civil or religious marriage ceremony that you are wanting, a Wedding Minister is often traditionally considered the official with legal authority to witness and preside. In the county or city of Los Angeles, as in the state of California, there are Wedding Ministers – some are of the Christian faith, others are not legitimate Wedding Ministers, as they purchase their ordination from Internet websites. However, a Wedding Minister may be a Non-denominational Clergy or Wedding Officiant or Denominational in his or her affiliation.

What Services To The Bride & Groom Do Wedding Ministers Generally Provide?

Typically, a Los Angeles Wedding Minister, as a type of Wedding Officiant, perform marriages during the weekday, weeknight or weekends. They will travel to the bride and groom, or the couple may meet them at a park or beach or other location to solemnize the marriage. A Wedding Minister, whether a Non-denominational Wedding Officiator or Denominational Officiant, will preside a wedding for two or for the couple with attending wedding guests. From the backyard wedding to the hotel garden gazebo marriage celebration, a Wedding Minister legally witness and certify the marriage vows, filing the marriage license with the Los Angeles County Clerk or the county in which the California Marriage Certificate was issued –It is the their legal responsibility to do so. Few Los Angeles Wedding Ministers will custom write the marriage ceremony wording or guarantee that they will stick to the content promised - www.legallymarried.com - The Clergy Network, are one of the few, if not only in Los Angeles.

Moreover, a Los Angeles Wedding Minister may work alone, but some membership groups, which background check the qualifications of their membership, do offer emergency Wedding Minister backup in the event the assigned Wedding Minister becomes ill in a couple's wedding day. www.theclergynetwork.com  is the Los Angeles officiator memberships that offers this important amenity.

Los Angeles Justice of The Peace - Civil Marriage Ceremony At Your Wedding Location

February 2, 2011 - Time to find  A Justice of The Peace In Los Angeles, California - Wedding Officiators

If it is a civil ceremony that you are wanting, a Justice of The Peace is often traditionally considered the official with legal authority to preside a non- religious ceremony. In the county or city of Los Angeles, as in the state of California, there is no Justice of the Peace system. However, the Non-denominational Clergy or Wedding Officiant is akin to Justice of the Peace in other states, and does preside Civil Marriage Ceremonies. In some cases, may even be able to provide your California Confidential Marriage License.

Like a Justice of The Peace, Non-denominational Wedding Officiators, perform marriages during the weekday, weeknight or weekends. They will travel to the bride and groom or the couple may meet them at a park, beach or other location to solemnize the marriage. Like a Justice of the Peace, a Non-denominational Wedding Officiator will preside a wedding for two,  or for the couple with wedding guests attending the ceremony. From the hospital wedding to the hotel garden gazebo marriage ceremony, a Non-denominational Wedding Officiant legally certifies the marriage and files the marriage license with the Los Angeles County Clerk or the county in which the California Marriage license was issued – similar to the tasks associated with the Justice of The Peace in other states.

Like A Fingerprint or DNA ...Wedding Ceremony Temperament - By www.legallymarried.com - Los Angeles County & Orange County Wedding Officiants

February 2, 2011- Bride-to-be "I am not certain what I want in my wedding ceremony, but I know what I don't want!"

To the trained wedding ceremony writer and practitioner, the statement above speaks volumes! On its face, the comment seems to be without helpful specificity. Much like the clothes shopping woman, who says to the sales clerk, "I'll know what I want when I see it! So, what does the comment shout out? What does the experienced and academically prepared wedding ceremony writer surmise..... ?

Defining A Wedding Ceremony Temperament!  Like A Fingerprint or DNA....

In psychology, temperament refers to those aspects of an individual's personality. For example, are they introverted or extroverted? Temperament is innate rather than learned - A personal stamp of God or nature... The fingerprint or DNA of the human soul!    Although, beyond the scope of this wedding blog article and a closer look at the subject, here is a brief summation....

Wedding Ceremony Temperament is innate to each bride and groom - It is each's view of the world, and life through preferences. It is preferences that help the wedding ceremony writer determine the wording and other ceremony inclusions for each couple.

The Wedding Ceremony Writer - A Detective Of Preferences

He are a few examples of  deducing  a couple's wedding ceremony temperament:

•  The words that make one comfortable or not, define preference.  Do you like the word "Bond" or "Unity"? The word, "Commitment" or "Friendship". The word picked helps to clarify the wedding ceremony temperament.

• Is the bride or groom more verbal or visual or tactile? Yes, finding a preference here, helps the ceremony writer access the "main header" content suggestions for consideration.
• Is the bride or groom more "Historical" or "Forward Thinking" or "A Popular Culturalist"? Preference here, further helps to gather material wording for the ceremony.
• Is the bride or groom  "inclusive" or "exclusive" in relationships?

There is much more to Wedding Ceremony Temperament, and the trained wedding ceremony writer, like a Doctor or Lawyer, is a student and teacher of  "persons". As a word craftsmen, it takes years of education in human behaviour, public speech presentation, language building, and so much more.

Chinese Wedding Customs - Los Angeles & Orange County Wedding Officiants

January 30 2011 -Orange County Wedding - Los Angeles County & Orange County Wedding Officiants -  "Have you presided a modern western ceremony with Chinese or other Asian customs added"?

Answer

Yes, many over the last 21 years! In fact, we will be happy to write about the few Chinese customs added to a custom wedding ceremony by our TCN wedding officiants. Here is the first important fact.

1. The date of a Chinese wedding is chosen carefully, usually consulting an almanac or Chinese symbols or a parent or grandparent. Also, Chinese couples are typically married on the half-hour, as the hand of the clock is moving upward (signifying that they are on the up-ward move).

So, the date and time have a purpose, as does the year. Our Chinese brides and grooms combine this custom and others with a more western theme. However, we have presided more traditional Chinese marriage ceremonies, including the use of Mandarin or Cantonese throughout the ceremony.

Los Angeles Wedding Officiants - The 2011 Wedding Ceremony - Fake Wedding Officiator Watch

How Not To Pick A Fake
Wedding Officiator In Los Angeles

January 21, 2011 - The "Dark Side" of The Wedding Internet - Since the advent of the Internet, wedding professionals, as well as brides and grooms have benefited from the easy and quick access to important wedding planning information...... Yet, there is a "Dark Side" - if its phony or illegitimate, its represented in Los Angeles cyberspace!

Avoiding the "Dark Side" of Wedding Officiator Internet Selection - How Do I Find A Legitimate Los Angeles Wedding Officiator ? - The Challenges of Picking A Competent Wedding Officiator In Los Angeles, California

         Some Tell Tale Signs of "fake" Wedding Officiators

Due to economy and other reasons, anyone, and I mean "anyone" can become a Wedding Officiator via the Internet. In our " How To Pick A Wedding Officiant" series we will continue to explore the solution around the pitfalls. To keep this short, the titles, "Doctor or Reverend or Pastor or Wedding Officiant" are being purchased. From their cheesy web sites, to À la carte Officiation Menus, to "Lets Make A Deal" pricing, even to their bizarre clergy names and titles, "fake" Wedding Officiators are a dangerous phenomena. In short, there are Wedding Officiator referral groups  in Los Angeles almost literally picking people off the streets and making them instant Wedding Clergy or Wedding Officiants.

 What Do Wedding Professionals Say About "Fake" Wedding Officiators in Los Angeles? 

On the inside of the Wedding Industry, from D.J.s to Event Planners, these "fakes"  are given new classifications, after all the credible vendors can't believe what is showing up to preside their clients' ceremonies - From the "Brief Case Wedding Minister" to the "Marrying Fellows or Guys", to the "Disgusting Comic Wedding Guys", to the "From Another Planet Wedding Lady", and so forth. But, the bride and groom don't know what those in the Wedding Industry experience weekly. Brides and Grooms trustingly walk into the "fake" Wedding Officiant arena thinking "all Wedding Officiators are the same!". This false understanding can only lead to "consumer regret" and a lifetime of bad wedding ceremony recollections. More to come on this subject.

Wedding Ceremony Customs - Including The Father of The Bride and The Father of The Groom In The Wedding Ceremony

June 21st 2009 – Happy Father’s Day – Including Dad In the Wedding Ceremony – The Clergy Network of Southern California - Example - Multicultural Wedding in Los Angeles, California

Wedding Tradition should include the father of the bride and the father of the groom. If the relationship between the bride and her father, and that of the groom and his father are favourable, there a many ways in which to provide a more active role to the same. As a wedding ceremony officiator I have often included the fathers in the wedding ceremony, either during the writing of the ceremony, or in the ceremony itself. Let’s look at one recent Clergy Network ceremony which included Dr. Linda of AskDr.Linda, a TCN wedding officiator presided:

Pre- Wedding Ceremony Scenario- The bride was from the Philippines and the groom was Russian. In this custom written Clergy Network wedding ceremony text, Dr. Linda, in conjunction with the bride and groom, wrote a “Welcome to the Guests” in English, which was then translated into Tagala and Russian.

Wedding Day - On the ceremony day, Dr. Linda, the father of the groom and the father of the bride walked down the ceremony aisle together. Rising to the ceremony area in unison, Dr. Linda “welcomed” the guests in English. Then the groom’s father in Russian, followed by the father of the bride in Tagalla. At the end all shook hands; Dr. Linda remained in her ceremony position. The father of the groom was seated. The father of the bride walked back to join his daughter for her entrance, to be soon after the wedding party’s procession.

Conclusion – Such a simple suggestion is rather profound, as it is not often included in the wedding ceremony. Whether there are several native languages represented through the respective families of the bride and groom, or not, there is no mandatory wedding day tradition for which the father of the groom and/or the father of the bride are to be precluded from verbal participation. If the father of the bride and/or groom is not given to public speech, even these “welcomes” can be pre-recorded and then played by a D.J. at the start of the wedding ceremony.

In short, the fathers’ may write the “welcome” which may be read by the wedding officiator or another, or write and read a “welcome to the guests”. This unexpected personal greeting from the fathers’, at the “start” of the marriage ceremony, sets the right tone of involvement for the guests themselves. In short, someone they know is saying “go ahead, feel invited. Laugh, cry, applaud, and by all means enjoy!” It makes all the difference in this wedding officiant’s vast experience.
