“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
From ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran.
Wedding Ceremonies
My ceremonies have ranged from lovely, intimate ceremonies, with just five people, the bride, groom, myself and two witnesses, to big, beautiful ceremonies with 200 guests. I've performed surprise weddings (a surprise for the guests), modern, classical, romantic, formal, casual and spiritual ceremonies.
I will work with you to write a ceremony that is individual and perfect for you. We can include family and friends in your ceremony, or it can focus just on the two of you. There are so many special readings and rituals that can be included if you so desire. I can help you design a ritual that reflects you as a couple and expresses the love you feel for each other. My ceremonies are non-religious, however I am happy for family or friends to share religious readings.
