CEREMONIES

So, what kind of ceremony do you want?

Basic:

A basic ceremony is just that: Short, sweet, and just what you need if you are going for simple.

Traditional:

This is the ceremony that you probably know by heart. It starts out "Dearly Beloved" and ends with "You may kiss the bride."

Religious:

This one is similar to the Traditional ceremony, but also includes religious readings, and an emphasis on your faith traditions.

Circle of Love:

This is the perfect ceremony for couples that are bringing children into the relationship. We will incorporate your children into the ceremony, and focus on how this union creates a family circle.

Themed:

Are you having a theme wedding? Want me to dress like a pirate and speak in scallywag? Reference your favorite movie in the ceremony?

Custom:

This ceremony can be anything you want it to be! Write your own vows, add special readings of your favorite poem, sing your vows to each other, mix and match from all of the ceremonies above. The custom ceremony lets you get exactly what you want on your wedding day.

Vow Renewal:
If you are already married and want to reaffirm your love for one another, you can do a vow renewal ceremony. This can be customized to include your story as a couple, and the reasons you want to renew your vows.

Unity Candle: The lighting of the unity candle by both the bride and the groom, from their individual candles.

Sand Ceremony: The pouring of sand into a vase by both the bride and the groom, creating a blend is impossible to separate.

Hand Fasting: A ceremony in which the couple’s clasped hands are tied together.

Rose Ceremony: The couple exchanges a single rose as a symbol of their commitment to each other.

Coin Ceremony: The symbolism of the 13 gold coins traditionally symbolized the prosperity that would be shared by the new couple, and the groom's promise to provide for the welfare of the new family. However, today's couples face the world together in a more mutually supportive way than ever before. So, the coins have come to symbolize the couple's commitment to mutually contributing to their relationship.

Wine Sharing: Two wines are poured together to create a new blend. The couple drink the new wine as a symbol of the blending of their lives. (Note: Both members of the couple must be 21+ for this ceremony to be performed).

Ring Warming: At the beginning of the wedding, I will announce that your rings will be making their way through the assembled guests, with an invitation for each guest to hold the ring, say a silent prayer/blessing for your marriage, and then pass it to the next guest. Then an appointed member of the wedding party brings them back in time for your exchange of rings. This works best with small weddings.
