Wedding ceremonies are made up of chapters just as you would see in a book. The chapters as I rehearse them with my brides and grooms are more than just getting everyone down the aisle, in order, in a timely fashion, and in beautiful line-up. But I'll cover that on another page. For ceremony purposes we'll chapter from the beginning of the wedding ceremony itself, assuming every one is down the aisle and in place.
