Your Wedding

Your wedding ceremony is where your marriage officially starts - it takes its first breath through you and your partner declaring your chosen promises, vows, and aspirations together. To put it simply, this is where you celebrate your commitment together.

​

Ceremonies are personal - it's your day. It can be 15 to 40 minutes long with as little or as much you would like to incorporate. You can include readings, rituals, cultural aspects - or even pets! Whatever is important to you is important to me!
