You may be tempted to save money and decide to have your ceremony without a rehearsal. This could result in chaos during the ceremony. The rehearsal takes longer than the actual ceremony and can prevent some embarrasing miss-steps from occuring. When including other elements in your ceremony you will definitly need a rehearsal. Formal weddings progress smoother with a rehearsal.
For custom ceremonies hand blessings can be added or a rose ceremony, sand ceremony, wine ceremony or unity candles. Unity candles, sand and sand vessels, wine and glasses can be provided by the officiant at an additional fee.
