FAQ: What’s the difference between the Love Story Wedding Ceremony and The Simply Chic Wedding Ceremony?
The difference is the experience you will have filling out the questionnaires and how well I get to know you. The Simply Chic questionnaire asks questions only about your relationship and your ceremony. The Love Story questionnaire goes much more in depth about your relationship and also asks questions about you as individuals. It also includes a premarital exercise for you two to explore-the love story questionnaire is a much deeper dive.
In regards to your ceremony experience, the Simply Chic includes one ritual and The Love Story includes as many as you’d like. With the Love Story, since I’ve gotten to know you two much better through the questionnaires, it gives me more to work with when I’m writing up your story-therefore, enhancing the experience. The length of the ceremonies are about the same, however, the length may be longer with the Love Story if additional rituals are added in. And, of course, you do not need to include all of the components with the Love Story ceremony.
