Wedding Ceremony Enhancements and Rituals
There are many ways to celebrate your marriage by including rituals. Every ritual is felexible to be made very personal to you as a couple. Here are a few ideas. If you have your own thoughts please share them with me and I will make this happen for you.
Hand Fasting Ceremony also known as Tying the Knot.
Handfasting is a symbolic act that takes place during your ceremony, where you hold hands and ribbons are placed upon them to represent your commitment to each other.
There are so many variations with this ritual I am happy to share these with you and to hear your ideas.
Sand Ceremony
A sand ceremony is a symbolic ritual where couples (and sometimes others) pour colored sand from individual vessels into a larger container, creating a layered, blended effect that symbolizes their union and commitment. This blended sand is then a keepsake of their wedding day, representing the blending of their lives.
Candle Lighting
This ritual is very flexible. Usually two individual candles are lit at the start of the ceremony by the couple and the Unity Candle is lit after the vows and rings are exchanged.
It can involve family members. You might like to invite your parents to light the individual candles at the start to represent your families and at the end of the ceremony when you are married you take light from these two candles and light your Unity Candle.
