What are ways a pastor can personalize our wedding ceremony?

Our pastor is planning our wedding ceremony and wants to incorporate personal stories, jokes etc. about us. We, and our pastor, want the ceremony to be personalized towards us and not be a cookie-cutter wedding. Any ideas??

Wow, I teared up thinking of this, but what if your pastor talked about the things you like about him and the things he likes about you and about how you met?
You could also do something in the ceremony to honor people in your life or family that have died if you wish in some way.
We had a Cherokee blanket ceremony in our wedding because my husband is part Cherokee. Maybe you could do something that is a tradition in the culture of one or both of your backgrounds. If you do a google search for wedding traditions of that culture you might find something that you like and could encorporate.
Best of luck to you.
how about your own vows?
Call on your friends and family to collaborate on pictures of you when you were little, when you did things together and create a slide show to be playing during the reception. Another cool thing is to create a trivia sheet for your guests to fill out, offer prizes to the table with most correct answers (when is John’s b-day, what year did he get married (ha-ha), the full name of the first guy she ever dated, etc. you can probably find trivia questions on line. Meeting with your pastor to talk about your current relationship, what you plan to do and your favorite things you like about each other will help him to get to know you.
