Our Wedding Ceremonies
 

If you are looking for a wedding ceremony that goes beyond words . . .


Our wedding and vow renewal ceremonies are very spiritual and romantic.  They focus on love, commitment, the ideals of marriage, and most of all, on the two of you.  They have been lovingly developed from our own experience with marriage, and over a decade of work as wedding ministers.  They incorporate elements from a wide variety of sources, spiritual disciplines and cultures.

Our ceremonies honor your special commitment to each other.

We carefully personalize each ceremony, taking into account the special aspects of your relationship that you have shared with us.  We welcome your creative input, and encourage you to include any poems, prayers, blessings, music or personal words that are meaningful to you.

We believe your ceremony needs to be the most important part of your wedding, and that your wedding day is the most special day of your life together so far.  The tone and wording of your ceremony should be perfect — just like the dress, the flowers, the cake and the music.  We believe your ceremony should acknowledge how special your love is, to you and to your guests.

As multi-denominational ministers serving couples from all faiths and walks of life, we do not offer ceremonies that focus specifically on religion — though our ceremonies always do honor the Creator and the values of love, joy, peace, kindness and compassion — the essence of the sacred teachings of all the world's great spiritual teachers.  With a spiritual focus, instead, family members and friends can easily embrace your ceremony — because it's about you, your special commitment to each other, and how you can stay each other's best friend in marriage.

We regularly hear, "That's the best ceremony I've ever heard!"

Our ceremonies are joyous, meaningful and fresh.  We use contemporary language and include unique elements that are a little different from what people may have heard or seen before.  Because of that, we find that people really listen and are touched by a new understanding of marriage and relationship dynamics.

Our Ribbon Vows™ are a trademark of the ceremony we offer.  As the beginning part of your sacred vows — the heart of your ceremony — each of the ribbons placed around your hands will symbolize your union, and each one accompanies a special question of intent.  They are reminders that you always intend to be each other's best friend, to treat each other with kindness and respect, and to grow together through any issues that may come up from time to time.  Your ribbons will be a keepsake to take home with you as an ongoing reminder of your sacred vows.

 

We work hard to make your ceremony extraordinarily  special!

When we perform a wedding ceremony, we do not just read from a script.  We fine tune every ceremony to fit the dynamic of each couple's relationship — using traditional ceremony elements, some parts we have developed over the years, and special words that we know will be particularly meaningful to the couple.  Every ceremony is unique, because every couple standing before us is unique.

If there are children in your lives and you are blending families, or if you have a child — or children — together, we want to honor them and your family unity in the ceremony as an essential part of your commitment. 

Everyone should be honored!

Children love to be publicly acknowledged and asked (if they are old enough) if they give their blessings to your marriage.

Our ceremonies last approximately 20-22 minutes, depending on optional variations or any chosen additions.  We also include elements, when pertinent, to honor different faith or ethnic traditions of the two families.

The cheapest ceremony?  No.  The best?  That's our intent.



Linda and Earl:

We want to thank you for a wonderful memory.  The ceremony was beautiful and personal.  We keep watching the video over and over, and find it more special every time.  You will never understand how special that day was for us and you are a part of that.

We look back and know that it couldn’t have been done better.  We will always be grateful to you for starting our marriage off in such a loving way.  

Thanks again!  Don’t ever stop what you do, you bring such happiness to all around you.

With love,
R&LS

 





Dear Linda:

We wanted to thank you so much for the lovely ceremony you gave us.  Everyone there just raved how wonderful you were.

You made us feel so special.  We waited 10 years to get married ... and how nice [the ceremony] was made it worth the wait!

Thanks for giving us a 
special start!
J&HR
