A SPECIAL MOMENT WEDDING has found the following occurrences on wedding days
Tip #1: Tip #1: This is extremely important: Bring your marriage license, your officiant will need to have your marriage license before your ceremony starts. It is a lawful permit to get married in the same way a Driver's License is a lawful permit to drive. We have experienced couples who very sweetly promised to present their marriage license immediately following the ceremony who never had one nor ever applied for one, and their guests were unaware as well. Traditionally the Maid/Matron of Honor, Best Man, or one of the parents usually delivers it to the minister before the ceremony.
Tip #2: Bring your wedding rings
Tip #3: For your guests, schedule your ceremony 15 minutes prior to the actual time scheduled with your minister. Some of the guests usually arrive late. When weddings commence at a specified time, some guests will enter while the wedding party is in processional and some arrive during the wedding ceremony. Rev. Veleno takes pride and considers it a privilege to be involved in one of the most important days in the lives of brides and grooms. It is very important to have your invited guests present when your processional starts. Most ministers are involved with many other activities scheduled in their daily lives, including such things as appointments, nursing home, and hospital visits. Please be considerate toward others being served.

Tip #5: Aside from our wedding party, is it okay to have other people in your ceremony photos during your ceremony? Find out this information early enough. Assign someone to notify those who could be in your photos.
Tip #6: Check to find out what songs will be playing for your ceremony. If you don't select us at least look at Rev. Veleno's Ceremony to get an idea of what songs are traditionally played.
Tip #7: If you plan to have your wedding on a public beach or park and you plan to put up a tent or any other structure check with the Parks Department http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/default.htm for that location or City Hall ahead of time.
