<p>I believe that a wedding should feel and sound better than it looks and there's something about reading word for word from a page that taints that. The truth is that my ceremonies are all made without a script, and I'm one of the few on the planet who does this, and here's why.</p><p>I know that any of us can talk at great length about that topic we're really passionate and knowledgeable about, and that talk would sound better than any talk you wrote then read to me.</p><p>So I get to know my subject matter, my couples and their marriage, really well. Then I walk out to the ceremony.</p><p>It might be a reach for you to do that tomorrow, but try it for part of the ceremony. See how it feels and work from there.</p><p>§</p><p><strong>📺 Want to see an unscripted ceremony?</strong> I've shared a video of an elopement of mine in the Campfire group chat <em>(link in your email footer)</em> for you to watch and comment on. Roast the ceremony, tell me how you think it was nice and how could have it been better?</p>
