When you hear the word wedding, there are several things that come to mind, yes of course there will be a celebration and even a party, if you will, however, let's get to the nitty gritty!
Each time a couple contacts me for their ceremony, I am probably just as excited as they are, ok well "almost!" What gets me excited is listening to the couple and learning about dynamics about how they met, who they are as individuals as well as who they are as a couple.
Most couples know only one thing when they come to meet with me, they're getting married! I love seeing their "a ha" moments when we break things down starting at the very beginning, the tone and flow of their event. I also like to discover together exactly how their day is planned to fit them exclusively.
For instance, today, I met with a lovely couple who said they did not have vows, nor any symbolisms but after speaking with them they are both avid readers and the groom to be himself is a writer! How on earth can there be zero vows and vows written by themselves? Another thing we discovered is they are both crazy about walking on the beach, as soon as I mentioned a "sand ceremony" perhaps with sand taken from their beach, their eyes lit up!
I love also reminding my couples that this day is to share with their family and loved ones, but essentially, it is their day and while at the altar and saying "I do", there should only be two people in this space, and that is the couple. It does not have to be rocket science, fancy or expensive, it just has to be YOU! Happy wedding planning and congratulations!
