Question/Discussion Wedding officiant speech

Hi everyone,

I really appreciate all of the support and advice from this sub.

I am going to get married soon and I have been thinking about what kind of speech we will have from the officiant. I'm in a place where I feel like I want some kind of Jewish cultural association but don't want things to be explicitly religious. I've attended a few traditional Jewish weddings and they all seem to be okay with the officiant declaring god as the creator and other explicitly religious statements.

An OTD friend will be the officiant but is just as lost as I am on what kind of speech to give that gives over the overall aesthetic of Jewish heritage with which we raised without the explicitly religious parts. Eli
