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.

    land acknowledgments are generally cringe. They would also just kinda ruin the happy spirit of the wedding without really doing anything for the native peoples.
