in brides hands so that she may see the gift they are to her. I then read beautiful words that reflect
your gifts to each other often beginning with "These are the hands of your best friend . . ." Many
couples use the Blessing of Hands in place of spoken vows to each other.
The Rose Ceremony
Rose ceremonies can be performed two ways. First, as a thank you to parents, a rose is given as a
reminder of their loving example in the couples lives. Secondly, I present a rose to the couple and
remind them "this is a symbol of your love. Each anniversary place a single rose in your home as a
reaffirmation of the unconditional love you have for each other right now"
Uniting Families with Children
I encourage couples with children to create a ceremony in which special vows are shared with
step-children. A locket or special gift (exchange of flowers, leis, etc.) can be presented to
memorialize this blending into a new family.
The Unity Candle
The two candles are traditionally lit by the mothers of the bride and groom at the beginning of the
ceremony. Usually before or right after the vows, the couple will light from both candles one unity
candle. I have several special readings. Here's one. "May the light of understanding, respect, and
tolerance, shine eternally for both of you."
The Unity Sand Ceremony
The Unity Sand Ceremony is a novel alternative for the popular "unity candle ceremony" incorporated
into many of today's weddings. The essence is to symbolize the union of "two into one". This sand
version is not only beautiful and interesting but also more appropriate for an outdoor setting. You can
obtain beautiful vases and the sand at www.kensingtonclassics.com
The Unity Blending of Family Sand Ceremony
The mixing of the various sand colors is a fitting way to symbolize the new Blended Family that will
result from this union. Together, we can create beautiful words that will make this a special part of
your wedding ceremony
Theme Weddings
Your wedding day is unique and you can let your imaginations soar in creating a theme wedding: a
Hawaiian, Surf & Sand, Western, Las Vegas, Renaissance, Cinderella, Fiesta, 50's/60's,
Irish/Scottish/Celtic or Nautical theme.
Dressing the part
I will do my best to match the colors of your wedding or the theme of your ceremony.
