As your wedding officiant, I work in partnership with you to craft a personalized ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple and what marriage means to you.
We begin with a conversation (usually over Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangout, etc) in which you get to know me and my style and I learn more about you as a couple. In that conversation, we'll also talk about the structure of the ceremony and the other ways I will support you as your wedding officiant. If you decide you want to work with me, I will then create a personalized packet for you with lots of ideas and options for your ceremony. We then stay in conversation to put together the ceremony that really suits you. Leading up to your wedding, I remain on-call (by phone and e-mail) to help finalize details. If you choose, I will also facilitate the wedding rehearsal helping to gently and efficiently guide your friends and family through a practice run of the big day. On your wedding day, I am not only present to lead the wedding ceremony. I am also there as a minister. I help calm nerves. I look for the small details that may have gone overlooked. I help you and your family and friends feel relaxed and ready to be present to the wedding ceremony and celebration. |
What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest in each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting? - George Eliot |
