 For some couples, the traditional marriage vows don't seem all that meaningful.
While many couples don't think twice about using the traditional set of wedding
promises in their ceremony, others feel they have a generic "fill-in-the-blanks"
quality.
Personal Wedding Ceremonies
All my ceremonies are personally written with the bride and
groom to be. If you don’t want to write your own vows, I have samples of wedding
vows I’ve written and as much help as they need.
Think of it this way, I’m their Minister, I minister their
wedding.
That’s part of creating their sacred space. After I’ve met
with them for over an hour sometimes two, I’ve read their love letters to each
other or interviewed them individually and then I sit down to write their
wedding. I take time to find their sacred space in within me before I begin to
type. I bring all that in. I picture them, how they interacted with each other.
Are they heart connected? Are they head connected? Are they practical? Are they
into the environment? Whatever they are, whoever they are? You know? I take very
clear notes, so I can integrate all of that into their wedding.
Write Your Own Wedding Vows
If they need help
with their vows, I can help as much or as little as they like. I can exchange
emails and phone calls.
I can do
different
styles of ceremonies. If they just want to say “I do”, if they don’t like to
talk too much in front of large groups or if they want to respond with a promise
or if they want to repeat after me.
I also have a
wonderful stone ritual, where a couple who has gone through a lot of strife from
divorce or lost family members. I have them each hold stones and infuse into the
stone all that they want to get rid of before the start their new life. And then
I ask them to throw the stones, symbolically releasing them.
Some people want
no rituals and that’s fine too.
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.
The
Reverend Lorili Wedding Officiant approach:
 |
Their wedding, their way. I’m going to facilitate it and make it a seamless graceful event.
|
|
I keep the bride and groom focused on each other and their ceremony |
|
I create a sacred space when I perform my wedding ceremonies to acknowledge all families and all faiths.
|
|
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. |
|
and more. |
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.
