                              VOW RENEWALS:

Whether you've been married one year or fifty, renewing your vows to one another is the perfect way to tell your mate how deep your love is.
And this time you can have the ceremony exactly how you'd like it.   


                                                                      HANDFASTING:

An ancient Celtic and Pagan tradition as a pledge of commitment, betrothal or marriage.  The vows may be taken for "a year and a day", "a lifetime", "for all of Eternity" or "for as long as love shall last".
The couple's clasped hands are bound together with a cord or ribbon, hence the phrase "tying the knot".
Handfasting can also be included as a romantic addition to any ceremony. 

UNITY  CANDLE:
Symbolizing the joining of two lives, the bride and groom each take a lit taper and light the central candle together.

UNITY  SAND:
Symbolizing the joining of your lives, the bride and groom each pour different colored sand into a central vase.
UNITY  BOUQUET:
Representing the contributions of family and friends, flowers are passed out to each guest before the ceremony.  Each person thinks of a blessing for the couple then places the flower in a vase at the front of the room.
SEEDLING  OR  TREE CEREMONY:
The bride and groom plant a seedling or seeds into a chosen planter then together they pour water over it.  Also can use a small tree already in a container that can later be planted in the yard of your new home.
WISHING  STONES:
A stone is given to each guest upon their arrival.  They hold the stone in their hand and make a wish for the couple's life together.  Then with a felt tip pen, they write their name and wish on the stone and place it in a special container to give the couple.
FISHERMAN'S  KNOT:
A true 'Lovers Knot' that becomes stronger under pressure symbolizing a bond that will forever tie
your hearts and withstand the storms of life.

HANDFASTING:
Handfasting within the Wedding ceremony symbolizes: 
"The ties are not formed by these ribbons or even by the knots connecting them. They are formed by your vows. Your two souls and hearts are now bound together as one.”

OATHING  STONE:
In ancient times when precious metals for rings were difficult to afford, this Celtic tradition had the couple say their vows while holding a stone, symbolizing setting their vows in stone.
PAINTING:
A new ceremony idea where the Bride & Groom each paint a picture or pour paint over a blank canvas together.  Sometimes taping off the outline of a heart then the tape is removed. It can even serve as a Guest Book.
JUMPING  THE  BROOM:
This tradition is said to be rooted in ancient Africa where couples would jump sticks to signify entering into a new life together.  Wiccans believe the broom sweeps away negative energy.
​Perfect for a Hallowedding! 
I would be honored to help you incorporate any of these into your ceremony with my
'Ceremony Builder' that is 36 pages - over 170 readings, poems, vows, etc. (both Secular & Religious) to choose from to create a personalized one.  Quotes from William Shakesphere to John Lennon, Marianne Williamson to the Dalai Lama, Dr. Who to Dr. Seuss. I can also add a favorite poem or song lyric of yours, anything you want.

It's so important that when you are standing at the altar, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes, the words spoken to unite you in marriage must perfectly express your beliefs and love for one another.

Whatever you want, I will happily work with you to make your celebration the one you've always dreamed of having.  Your day, your way!

Heading 1

I have a portable wireless PA system with a microphone so if you have more than
30 guests, I can bring it to make sure everyone can hear your ceremony. (o:

ANNIVERSARY BOX:
  The Anniversary Box serves as a lasting reminder of the commitments made to one another. Heartfelt letters, describing your thoughts and feelings are locked away in a wine box along with 2 glasses, to be revealed at a time of your choosing in the future.

UNITY HEART OR CROSS:
The Bride & Groom each put a part in place so together they assemble the Heart or Cross.
While the Heart is non-religious, the Cross wording includes "The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit." 


THE LASSO:

The 'Lasso' can be either a Rosary, a cord or other item that is wrapped around the couples shoulders to signify their eternal bond as well as the Groom's promise to protect and provide for his family and the Bride's trust in him.


ARRAS or COIN Ceremony:

13 gold coins which they pass to one another to
symbolize the give & take necessary in a successful 
marriage. Also the commitment of the Groom to protect & provide for his family and the Bride's faith in him.

The Lasso is often combined with the Arras
