Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies
Making a vow to another person either through marriage
or a commitment ceremony is one of the biggest
life-changing decisions you will make. Some couples
prefer a small, intimate gathering for their ceremony
while others want a large, formal event. Regardless of
the vision you hold -- large, small or in-between;
formal or informal; multi-cultural, interfaith or
secular -- choosing the right person to officiate is
very important. Since the ceremony is the heart
of your wedding day, you'll want to work with someone
who will personalize it by telling your story as a
couple, and who will include vows, ring ceremony, and
cultural and unity rituals of your choosing.
Your ceremony is more than a public performance – it is
an enactment of your intention to bond with each other
for the rest of your married life. This is not something
to take lightly.
With
your help, I will create a ceremony that honors your
vision and gives voice to your story by highlighting
themes and suggesting poetry, prose and music. Whether
you are on a beach, in a garden, a chapel, a hotel,
indoors or out, the ceremony content will be designed
just for you. No one else will ever have a ceremony like
yours. That is my promise.
Vow Renewals
A
vow renewal ceremony is a perfect way for couples who
made their vows years ago to commit themselves again
publicly. A
vow renewal can occur any time during a marriage but is
especially appropriate for milestone anniversaries such
as the five, ten, twenty-five and fifty years.
As with
weddings and commitment ceremonies, I will work with you
to create a vow renewal ceremony that is personalized to
your circumstances and vision. It can have elements of
your original ceremony or be completely different. The
choice is yours.
