| Pilgrim
Chapel is an exceptionally beautiful
site for your wedding, and I am delighted the folks there have invited me to lead your ceremony. Whether you want a
traditional, civil, multi-faith,
or The folks at Pilgrim
Chapel and I want planning
When Pilgrim Chapel asks me to preside over your marriage ceremony, I write you to let you know I look forward to sharing your wedding day. I'll ask you some basic questions so I can get started helping you plan. I'll refer you to some resources on this web site. We can plan together what you want easily by email. #BriefRental You have rented an extraordinary facility for your wedding. I always enjoy working with the great Pilgrim Chapel staff. The place is clean, beautiful, safe, and adaptable. But because your rental is brief, you may need to plan your time carefully. The place is so popular, there may be an event right before or right after your rental. * The doors open 15 minutes before the beginning of your rental time to you and to your guests, so you may want to announce a ceremony time a few minutes after your rental begins, and remind your guests not to arrive before the doors open.You can have a complete, unrushed, and beautiful ceremony by planning the time well. If you may need more time, I suggest you contact the folks at Pilgrim Chapel to see if a longer rental might be possible. The staff there and I are eager to make your wedding all that you want it to be. #HowToPlan

| #documents ABOUT THE MARRIAGE LICENSE 1. DOCUMENTS NEEDED Pilgrim Chapel marriages require a Missouri License, good for 30 days. The courthouse will provide you with a License to be returned and a Certificate form. I provide a Certificate which is yours to keep. Some couples also request a Certified Copy of the License when they apply for the License, to be mailed to them after the wedding. I provide a Receipt for one of you to sign.
2. DELIVER THE DOCUMENTS When you arrive at the Chapel, please place the envelope or folder with the documents from the court on the chancel table or give them to Rocio or me. 3. WITNESSES SIGN MARRIAGE DOCUMENTS Before the wedding, while your guests are gathering, I'll take about five minutes to prepare the documents, and then I’ll invite your two adult witnesses to sign. Most couples want to be with their guests or have photos taken -- not fuss with paperwork after the ceremony, and chasing down the witnesses can be awkward. Taking care of the legal requirements before the ceremony works well for everyone. 4. THE RECEIPT FOR THE LICENSE One of the couple signs a Receipt for the endorsed license. 5. THE WEDDING ! 6. WHEN YOU LEAVE After the ceremony, the documents will usually be on the altar-table. Please take them with you! * You keep the Certificate and * return the endorsed License to the court by mail (an envelope for this is usually provided by the court) or you can return it in person if you prefer. Here is more information about the License: https://www.cres.org/wed_License -----------
for final wedding preparation Every wedding is different. Many items below may apply to your wedding. ¤ The Chapel opens 15 minutes before your rental time for your 15-minute ceremony. ¤ Depending on the weather, when I arrive, I may not be dressed to receive you and I may not be vested until just before the ceremony. BRING WITH YOU -------- 1. license-certificate envelope or folder package 2. rings and vows if you wrote yours and did not send them to me to be printed 3. the text of any reading if I do not have a copy 4. playlist (and device) if you are using recorded music as arranged with the folks at Pilgrim Chapel REMINDERS for most weddings --------- 5. Before the ceremony, your two adult witnesses will sign the license and certificate. One of you will sign a receipt for the endorsed license. LEARN MORE 6. During the ceremony, face each other and enjoy looking at each other, not at me or my wedding book. 7. After I pronounce you married and you embrace, then face your guests and wait. I'll ask everyone to stand for the concluding Benediction or Best Wishes; then you recess. 8. Before you leave the Chapel, take your documents from the chancel table. |
