As your officiant, it would be my honor to perform your wedding, commitment ceremony, or renewal of vows and share in the joy of your special day. With literally hundreds of variances and options, I will help you design a ceremony of special significance. Working together, we will create the words, thoughts, and feelings you wish to express as they reflect the relationship you share, your personalities, and your hopes for the future.
Your personalized ceremony may encompass as many elements as you choose - music, poetry, readings, anacdotes from your history as a couple, etc. Other rituals may also be incorporated such as unity candle, special presentations, enthnic traditions, and reflections. For those couples who prefer a more traditional apporach to their wedding, standard civil and religious ceremonies are available as well.
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your wedding day. From "Dearly Beloved" to "You may now kiss the bride," the words that are spoken on your behalf, and the vows and promises you make to each other, help set the stage for your married life.
What kind of ceremony do you prefer? A traditional ceremony, or one that is more contemporary? Will you be writing your own vows? Would you like to include rituals that celebrate your heritage? These are just some of the questions you might consider as you contemplate your wedding ceremony.
Each ceremony I create is unique, blending traditional and contemporary elements to exactly represent your individuality and tastes. The ceremony can include your personal love story: How you met and fell in love, why you decided to get married, what you hope for as a couple. Your love story can be a highlight of the ceremony, often bringing smiles and tears to those who are there to celebrate your love!
Wedding ceremonies may also include:
Hand Blessing - Rose Exchange - Unity Candle
- Wine Ceremony - Blended Family Celebration -
Other Special Ceremonies to honor your heritage,
traditions or special interests.
Creating your wedding ceremony can be a fun and joyous experience for both of you. As you plan, a time of discovery and learning about your partner may unfold, thus creating a foundation on which to build your life together as husband and wife.
I work with you at the rehearsal, helping assure that the ceremony will flow smoothly. In addition, see that the marriage license is appropriately signed by the witnesses and recorded with the county auditor.
Marriage is a special occasion. Being present at this moment when two people exchange vows is an honor and a pleasure. I recognize the significance of this moment and are thankful for the opportunity to celebrate with you.
The highest compliment I can receive is a referral. If you enjoy your experience or would like to pass my name or website along, it would be most welcome.
