Couples

Love should be celebrated. That is a fact. It should be celebrated in ways that are truly special to you with words that are meaningful and even more powerful when spoken to those who you intend to share the rest of your life (and your chips) with.

Together we will create a ceremony that represents who YOU are as a couple – your love for one another; your quirks; your personalities and what brings you JOY. Have your ceremony where you want it and when you want it.

There are no rules – just what is hiding inside your mind, waiting to come to life!

Whether you are marrying for the first time, wanting to renew your vows or would just like to commit to sharing your favourite person's chips for the rest of your lives, I will create the perfect ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple and truly captures the essence of your relationship.

Don’t just read from a script – write your own happy ending!


AND DON'T FORGET!

Ceremonies don’t just have to be about vows, promises, readings and music… by including things like unity candles, sand ceremonies or handfasting you can add another dimension to your big day and make a super cool keepsake at the same time!


Unity Candles - You each take a light from a smaller candle and light a larger candle together. You then have a lovely candle to light every year on your anniversary! Cute huh?


Sand Pouring - 2 or more glasses with different coloured sands are poured into one larger vase to mix the sand. Never to be separated. Such beautiful patterns can be made and admired always. Other alternatives include pouring different crystals into one larger vase or even mixing drinks!


Handfasting - Whether as a pagan ritual or simply an expression of colour and uniqueness. Handfasting is a wonderful way to show togetherness and unity. Have your friends join in as they wrap ribbons around your joined hands. Every colour has a meaning so why not think about what you want your ribbons to represent. You may choose to have a Handfasting instead of a marriage celebration - please get in touch if you want to plan a Handfasting ceremony!


Wishing Trees - These can be real or fake! Invite your guests to write their wishes for you as a couple or as a family and ask them to tie them to the branches of your tree! If you've chosen a real tree then this can then be planted in a special place for you to admire over the coming years.


Love Locks - The joining together of two locks that represent you both and literally 'throwing away the key'! The entwined locks can be kept and displayed whilst the keys can be kept in a special place or perhaps plated and worn as jewellery. You could even have one single lock with your names and the date of your ceremony engraved on it. You could then take the lock and attach it to a bridge or place that holds a special place in your hearts.


Or you can simply create your own action - create new traditions! Get in touch and we can put our heads together!
