Once the nuptual party is in position, its time for the greeting. The greeting is performed by the minister or officiant to gladly received the guests to the ceremony.
It can also be a simple thank you to the guests or a reading of how the couple met. The statement of intention is when all who attend the wedding are told the couple intend to be married. The cleric may also desire to talk shortly about the responsibility of marriage at this time.
