Ceremonies
Each couple is unique with a different idea of what their perfect wedding will look like. You may want a theme wedding where the location and parts of the ceremony reflect the theme. You may want to include friends or family members in the ceremony. You may want to remember someone who has passed away in the ceremony. All of these circumstances and others can be accommodated. Mentioned below are some of the more popular ceremonies within the wedding, but remember, this is your special day. We can create a ceremony right for your special circumstance.

Sand Ceremony
Sand Ceremonies have become quite popular. This ceremony is a good replacement of the Unity Candle ceremony if having an outdoor wedding. Like the Candle ceremony, it is performed before the vows. It consists of one vase and two smaller vases. The two smaller vases are filled with different colored sand. The bride and groom pour the sand from their vase into the larger vase symbolizing their two lives being blended into one. The vase makes a wonderful wedding keepsake. The couple usually picks a special song to be played while they are blending the sand together.
Unity Candle Ceremony
The candle ceremony consists of two taper candles with a Unity candle in the middle. The candle ceremony is usually performed before the vows and exchanging of the rings. The bride and groom take their lit taper candle and together light the Unity candle and extinguish their individual candles. "And the two shall become one."Family Ceremonies
Many couples getting married today have children. Including your children in the ceremony stresses the importance of coming together as a family. There are many ways in which we can include your children.Family Medallion
After the bride and groom exchange rings, the children are called forward. The officiant explains that the wedding ceremony being performed is not only bringing two people together - it is creating a family. The children are told they are an integral part of the decision to marry and that their parents are not only making a commitment to each other, but to their family. A commitment is made to the children and a pendant is placed on them signifying their part in the family. You can buy family medallions at http://www.familymedallion.com/.
Family Sand Ceremony
This is a variation on the couple's sand ceremony. Instead of two smaller vases there are additional vases for the children. The ceremony is symbolic of the blending of the family. This also makes for a colorful and beautiful keepsake.

Love Letter & Wine Box Ceremony
This ceremony was brought to me by a couple and I love it! A box is placed on a table close to where the couple stands. The box contains a bottle of wine or champagne and two glasses. After the vows and exchange of rings the couple places a love letter to their partner in the box and seal the box. The box is to remain closed until the 5th wedding anniversary. If, before the 5th anniversary, you come to the point that you have lost hope that you can make your marriage last, you may open the box, sip the wine, and read the letters reminding you of what you felt on your wedding day and why you chose to be married. (Which is followed by a call to a marriage counselor!) The box is a lovely reminder of the commitment you made on your wedding day.
