Wedding Ceremony Timeline

A workable run sheet is more useful than a perfect-looking plan. Start with a question, leave with the next person to ask and the next decision to make.

Fieldbook principle: a well-planned ceremony does not need to look conventional. It does need a sequence, clear ownership, and room for the people who will experience it.
