How can a wedding running order separate essential arrangements from optional performances?

Direct answer
Build the running order around confirmed essential arrangements, then add optional performances only with the participants' agreement.
Name the person responsible for each cue and leave time for arrivals, meals, breaks and transitions. Separate legal or religious requirements, checked with appropriate authorities, from family entertainment preferences. Mark what can be shortened if the programme slips. A clear schedule coordinates an event; it should not quietly turn every suggested custom or performance into a compulsory part of the wedding.
