Services
This wedding ceremony is yours. We will work
together to develop a ceremony that reflects you as a couple. My role in
this process is to be your guide in its design and then to officiate at
your ceremony.
You are a couple bringing forth a public declaration of your Love and
Intent into the world. I have a vast resource of materials to express
that intent for you. We will share our ideas and hopes for your wedding
via e mail, phone and in person should you wish.
Generally, I suggest that a rehearsal be set up prior to the wedding.
This is included in the service fee and allows us to finalize any
details and assure that your big day runs as smoothly as possible.
The degree to which you wish to express faith or not is entirely up to
you. It is my heart felt feeling that you have been brought together in
the light of Love and that is all that matters. Your wedding is a
reflection of your values and ideals. It is as unique as you are as a
couple.
I am honored by the families that have chosen me as their wedding
officiant. To be of service during such a time of joy and wonder is a
great gift of sharing. I love being a part of new couples beginning life
together, families merging with their adorable children and seeing the
renewal of vows from those couples who have loved and been tested by
time.
This ceremony is yours. It is a reflection of your Love and personal
Commitment to each other.
CEREMONY ENHANCEMENTS
While there are so many ideas to make your day even more
special, I have listed just a few for your consideration.
WEDDINGS
Unity Candle: Candles have always represented not only love but
truth, faith and enlightment.
Rose Ceremony: What is more beautiful than a rose? Roses speak to
unconditional love.
Wine Ceremony: Wine, since ancient times has represented the very blood
of life itself.
Remembrance: At times in our journey on the path a very dear one goes
before us. We wish to remember them during this time of joy. The use of
flowers, pictures, butterflies, empty chair at the wedding and special
words or poetry can be used during the ceremony to include their spirit
in your occasion.
Joining Parents and Children: It is such a joy to include them in the
ceremony by actions or words as a new family forms.
This is just a sampling of ideas. Perhaps the Lovers Knot, Jumping the
Broom, Water Blessing and anointing, Handfasting…this is your memory
we are creating together
OTHER LIFE CYCLE CEREMONIES
The wedding is often the gateway to life cycle ceremonies. I feel so
deeply that in our hectic lives that we need to take time to recognize
other life cycle events of importance in our life. The natural rhythm
and harmony of life is so essential to the enhancement of our existence.
Ceremonies can help us more deeply embrace the emotions of joy and
sometimes challenging moments. If we take time to reflect on these
events they will also strengthen our self vision. We will act in love
and not from fear or sadness.
