I work with you to create a ceremony that is significant to you both. My specialty is to incorporate stories and special sayings or quotes that resonate with you and weave them into your ceremony. My objective is to give you a memory of your special day that will capture and express the love in your hearts and the journey of your lives together in a ceremony that is meaningful to you and your guests. It does not necessarily have to be intimate to “ALL”, just intimate to “the two of you”! You will have final approval of ceremony drafts as I work in steps to create the finished product.
I believe that every couple is different and has their own specialness about themselves and their relationship. My service to you is to provide you with words that truly express your uniqueness as a couple. It is an art form to create your ceremony and it is truly my honor to help you do so.
Some of the components within a ceremony are:

This website is intended to be a guide to help us design the perfect ceremony for your wedding. You will find some basic ceremonies which sometimes people take some wording from if they are looking for a more unique ceremony.
You will find an outline of the overall structure to explain how the ceremony is set up.
Next you will read some of the ceremonies that have been used by some of my clients (sample ceremonies).
After that are some readings, poems and lovely sentiments that you might want to consider including in your ceremony.
Also, there are pages of sample vows, and ring ceremonies. The promises are a way to replace or add to the vows with you making promises to each other.
You have the choice with the vows to:
I wish you all life long Blessings on your wedding day, and for the rest of your lives together, and hope the words you find here will help you voice the thoughts in your head, and the feelings in your heart.

You have the choice with the vows to:
- Have the officiant read it and you agree saying "I will" or "I do"
- Repeat the words after your officiant
- Memorize the words to speak them on your own
I wish you all life long Blessings on your wedding day, and for the rest of your lives together, and hope the words you find here will help you voice the thoughts in your head, and the feelings in your heart.
