Incorporating
Your Family Into A Meaningful Ceremony
I do allot of work that promotes family
inclusiveness, which is especially fun if there are children and they want to be
part of the ceremony. I am an expert in blending families and honoring all the
children that want to participate at whatever level. Whether it’s a little bit
of participation or playing a major role.
I’ve incorporated the family into the
wedding ceremony with a beautiful sand ceremony. When you have children of both
sides of the family, it’s a beautiful ritual. Each family member is given
different colored sand. Have you seen it? They use a beautiful decanter and they
each put a little bit of sand. You see the individual colors and layers then they are
blended to make a new unique color signifying a new family.
Sometimes, they will give a gift to the
child after they’ve exchanged rings, especially to a younger child to make them
important on this special day.
At a recent interview, the couple was
accompanied by an older daughter. I asked her, “You can be as little involved as
you want but I have a sense that you want to be really involved.” She lit up
like a light bulb. According to her parents’ wishes, she played a large part of
the ceremony making it a personal family experience.
I incorporate as much family as the couple
would like. Some people just want their names mentioned, others want a lot more
and I facilitate.

She is vibrant, intuitive minister, who thoroughly enjoys
creating memorable wedding ceremonies for the wedding couples that she is
privileged to marry. She is bubbly and efficient. I’m upbeat. I keep things
positive and very efficient when things need to get done. I help organize what
needs to get written and I facilitate without the couples having to worry. I
take the worries out.
I start my ceremonies with a greeting and an opening
prayer. If you want a special reading, I can work with you to create the
important moment. I speak about the wedding couple. Any wedding rituals can be
incorporated in different places. You exchange your vows. Then a closing
blessing, depending on how spiritual, how religious or how much they want the
love as the theme. So I go wherever the essence of the couple is. I meet them
where they are.
Very few ceremonies are longer than twenty minutes, but if
they like many rituals it can run as long as forty minutes. Some are only ten
minutes but they aren’t as personal. Recently I performed a short ceremony; the
couple gave me a script they had written. I asked them if I could tweak it. They
were of different cultures and religions but they didn’t want any of that in
their wedding. I showed them what I could do and they found it. I gave them
exactly what they wanted exactly how they wanted it.
I help them create something according to their preference
from the heart, from the intellect or a blend of both. I can meet people where
they are, because of my intuitive skills.
