Your Marriage Ceremony
Marriage Ceremony
Your marriage ceremony can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish. I can write a simple marriage ceremony for you, or together we can create a marriage ceremony that reflects your beliefs, your dreams and your desires as a couple.
Traditional Marriage Ceremony
The time-honoured traditional marriage ceremony remains the preferred choice of most couples. While the marriage partners are always the main focus, I also seek to include the families and guests as an integral part of the ceremony.
The main components of the traditional marriage ceremony are:
- Welcome
- Giving away
- Introduction by celebrant
- Declaration of intent to marry
- Exchange of vows
- Pronouncement of marriage
- Conclusion or blessing
- Signing of register
I am happy to change the order,add or leave out sections as you may choose.
To help you plan your marriage ceremony, I will provide you with a booklet of resources.
Contact me and I will work with you to make your marriage ceremony a personal and memorable occasion.
Ritual in Marriage Ceremonies
Ritual has always been part of human existence and has been used throughout history to mark important transition events in our lives. Marriage is perhaps the most significant transition that we are likely to face, as through marriage, we are creating a new pathway to our future.Adding ritual can add depth and a distinctive touch to your marriage ceremony.
Some of the rituals often included in contemporary marriage ceremonies are:
- Sand ceremony
- Unity candle
- Rose ceremony
- Ring warming
Contact me and I will work with you to make your marriage ceremony a personal and memorable occasion.
Adding Multicultural Elements
Residents of Australia are drawn from all corners of the world and it is natural for people from another country to wish to incorporate parts of their beliefs and culture into their marriage ceremony.
For instance, Indian people may want their marriage ceremony performed under a decorated canopy; a Japanese couple may wish to incorporate the traditional sharing of sake into their marriage ceremony.
I am very happy to include elements of your culture into your ceremony.
Contact me and I will work with you to make your marriage ceremony a personal and memorable occasion.
My Services also Include:
- Renewal of Vows - I can create a ceremony that reflects the road you have travelled together and the memories of the special times shared.
- Naming Ceremonies - special occasions at which parents choose to formally introduce their child to their family and friends and announce their chosen names.
- Funeral Services - I will do my best to help you through the grief that comes with the loss of a loved one, and with your assistance, I will create a personal and heart-felt funeral service
