Without giving too much detail, what are your thoughts on including a short land acknowledgement at the start of a wedding ceremony (a white couple)?

I've done research into the ancestral lands that the ceremony will be held in, but I'm wondering if I should really be communicating with a local tribal leader before developing the language.

It would only be a few sentences, so I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it. Thanks.

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback. Won't be including an acknowledgement.

    Who is the performance really for? I think it would be more appropriate to mention something in the program and then perhaps donate some money to the indigenous representatives. Acknowledgement is not action, you see
