Need some help with wording.

I could write a long preamble to explain the context of this request, but it's 6.30 am and I have to be up again at 12, and the only reason I'm posting this from my phone is because I won't be able to sleep until I do.

I need some wording to explain that we're having a minute's silence at the start of the meal so people who want to say grace can do so without imposing their religion on the atheists present. It needs to be diplomatic, and give no particular preference to either "side". Any ideas?

My father thinks he's going to walk me down the aisle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Please comment below with all of the reasons why this isn't going to be happening.
