Church of Scotland wedding?

Having been to a few COS weddings and now making stationery, I can tell you that the order of services that I do for Church of Scotland weddings tend to go something like this:

Entrance of the Bride (with music)

Hymn 1

Marriage Ceremony

Signing of the Register

Hymn 2

Bride & Groom Exit the Church (with music)

Readings (can definitely be non religious) can be after marriage ceremony and before signing of register or after signing of the register. All my brides normally have to get their order of service apporved by the minister before prinitng and he/she will tell what you can and can't have and advise of their preferred sequence.

Expect it all to last no more than 30 minutes.

Thank you! ?

My main problem with having a religious ceremony is the fact that our wedding will be in a hotel and therefore there will be no organ to accompany us and we can't afford to hire a band.

Has anyone been to a religious ceremony in a hotel and if so, what did they do for an accompaniment?

Friends of mine were married by a retired minister, in a castle, walked in by harp and skipped the hymns. So twas religious without the hymns.

Thanks teehee, sounds like that could be the way to go! Hope our minister would be ok with that! ?

Hiya :-)

We're having a COS ceremony and the minister is completely fine with not having hymns and we can do readings etc.

Hope this helps ?
