VOW RENEWALS
A celebration of marriage where a married couple reaffirms or renews their marriage vows, often followed by a party or reception with their closest family and friends.
MEMORIAL RITUALS
The acknowledgment of a deceased loved one, incorporated into your marriage ceremony. There are many ways to do this, including the display of a photo, a candle on an empty seat, or even a favorite reading. There are numerous options here!
SAND CEREMONIES
The unity sand ceremony is a tradition in which a couple pours sand from separate vessels into a unified, central one. It represents two people coming together in marriage, or can also be used to signify the joining of a blended family.
UNITY CANDLE CEREMONIES
Each member of the couple lights their own taper from their family candles and come together to light their wedding candle as one flame. This symbolizes the two individuals coming from separate families and becoming one in marriage.
ORIGINAL CEREMONY WRITTEN FOR COUPLES
Because many JP ceremonies can be rather dull, I write tailored and personalized ceremonies based on what I learn about the couple through a short questionnaire. The ceremony is reviewed by the couple in advance of the ceremony, and couple has last say on any editing.
BLENDED FAMILY CEREMONIES
We can discuss creative ways to include your blended family in your wedding ceremony. This may include giving them official roles, reciting readings, or prayers. Some families choose to create vows for the family blending. There are numerous options to discuss!
KNOT CEREMONIES
The tying of ropes on a board as a symbol of unity, or even the physical tying of loose knots to represent unity where a couple holds hands while someone else binds their hands together with a ribbon or cord.
RING WARMING CEREMONIES
A ring warming is when you give your loved ones the opportunity to hold the couple's wedding bands with a wish, blessing or prayer for your marriage. By the time your rings make it on to the fingers of the couple they will be saturated with the love of their friends and family.
PRE-MARRIAGE CONSULTATION
An open and casual discussion of important aspects of a marriage, including financial planning, roles in the marriage, decision-making processes, and family relationships. The goal is to examine important aspects of marriage in a safe and moderated setting when two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together.
