The Opening Presentation. Positions.

Before the ceremony begins, the Bride is positioned on the right and the Groom stands to the left of the Officiant. Traditionally the couple would stand with their backs to their guests and witnesses. More common now, they will face one another in profile to the Officiant and guests.


Jim Albani, Minnesota Wedding Officiant, tells me that this positioning allows everyone to see how the couple respond to one another and to hear more clearly all that is spoken.

The “I Do. Your Complete Wedding Ceremony eBook” is a great tool to help you design and organize your ceremony. This helpful guide was compiled by Jim Albani, Minnesota Wedding Officiant.
