3.3 Gathering the Details

It’s your job to tell a couple’s unique love story in a thoughtful and compelling way. To do this successfully, you need to learn things like how the couple met, the kind of challenges they’ve faced together, what beliefs they share, and other particulars that make their relationship one-of-a-kind.

Luckily, we’ve got the perfect tool to help you with this task: the questionnaire, a list of thoughtful and important questions to ask couples about their ideal ceremony and wedding vows! 

Questionnaires save time because they give couples an opportunity to think about the specific parts of their story they’d like to incorporate in their ceremony, and they give you some direct-source material to refer to when writing their script.

It’s very popular for couples to write their own vows, so don’t be surprised if couples ask for advice or help with writing their own vows, and be ready to offer your assistance. (Your questionnaires will come in handy on these occasions, too!)

While not every couple will want you to share a detailed, personal love story, it’s always important to ask a series of thoughtful questions to help personalize their ceremony.
