Ceremonies

A marriage ceremony is both an affirmation as well as what you hope for in the future. It is special for everyone because it confirms that love and harmony exist in the world.
In our speech we thank the divine in all of us and the magic of bonding with another human being. We prefer nature weddings and like to bless the surrounding nature for acting as the “church”.
The Bride and Groom can prepare a few words as well if they wish but it is completely optional and many choose not to.
With the help of our web site the Bride and Groom may find what kind of ceremony they want. Our style is relaxed and friendly, with a focus on making the bride and groom feel at ease in their special celebration.
The Steps
First we discuss in person or by phone and email what kind of wedding ceremony you want. You might want a very alternative ceremony or a more traditional one. You might choose a theme. Then you choose the vows. This site has hundreds of vows to choose from.
A Google search for "wedding vows" also turns up many. We then customize the vow. This might be as simple as adding your names or it might require more personal attention. Or you might decide to write your vows.
We then discuss the steps of the ceremony. Here are some elements to a ceremony. The order of events can be moved around and you can add or remove an event.

-- Processional Entry of Bride and Bride's Attendants
-- Welcoming of Family, Friends, Guests and Bridal Party
-- Brief musings on Love and Marriage by the Officiate/Celebrant
-- Possible Reading of poem etc by friend/family member, or by Officiate/Celebrant (couple's discretion)
-- Presentation of Rings
-- Exchange of Vows (written by couple, or chosen elsewhere)
-- Wedding Blessing by Officiate/Celebrant
-- Pronunciation of Marriage
-- The Wedding Kiss
-- Bride and Groom exit at head of Wedding Party
It is all choice how you want to arrange the wedding. You can say anything that you want. As the wedding officiator our job is to take charge or relinquish control depending on what you want. Our goal is to be there for you 100% to provide the spiritual element.
