After you and your partner have finalized the ceremony plan in your respective dressing rooms, you will have another 20 minutes (Earth time) before the ceremony commences. If you do not wish to wait however, you may begin immediately by ringing the eternity bell.

The ceremony will proceed as follows:

• You and your partner will make your entrance.
• An address is given to guests in attendance.
• The blessing and exchange of rings.

Ordinarily, the ceremony will proceed through its stages at a predetermined pace. If both you and your partner ring the eternity bell, however, you may move to the next stage without waiting.

After the exchange of rings, the reception will begin, during which time you, your partner, and your guests may mingle.
