Your Day

There are a world of possibilities of the kind of ceremony you can have. Whether you want something traditional, religious, modern, fun, casual, formal, dreamy, themed, quick, quirky or a mix of a few of these.

You may like to think of the weddings you have enjoyed (or not enjoyed), themes that resonate with you both or with your lifestyle or relationship. It may even be that you have seen something on TV, in a film or a magazine that inspires you.

You

Finding out more about you and your relationship, beliefs, loves, lifestyle and the things that are important to you will make it easier for me to script the perfect ceremony for you.

How did you meet? Where was your first/best date? How about the proposal? Where is your favourite place to go? What do you like to do together? Do you have the same hobbies, tastes in music, food or films? Who was instrumental in your relationship, what brought you together, where was your favourite holiday.

Its also good to think about the future and the things you both want and how you will support each other to achieve them.

Important guests

It may be that you have other people you would like involved in the ceremony but your not sure how. This could be children from previous relationships, parents, siblings, friends or anybody that is important to you.

There are so many ways of involving people that we can discuss. It could be through readings, you may have someone who would like to sing or perform music.

Sand ceremonies, where different coloured sands can be poured together are a nice symbol of blending families as can planting a tree together with people combining to add the soil and secure the roots of the tree and of the relationship. These are just two ideas, but there are many others we can explore.

If there are small children involved, we can try and make it fun for them and remember that if they don’t do exactly as we expect, the simple fact they are involved is what counts.

And of course, pets can be included too!

There may also be absent family members you would like to be remembered, or even people who cant make it who you would like to stream to or include virtually, all of these are easily included.

The script and timeline

I will start with a draft of the script and timeline soon after our first meeting, so that we can be sure we are going in the right direction. Once this is discussed, we will be able to add and change things through the time before the big day, making sure that the wording, the tone and the plans are all the things you were hoping for.

Do you have specific wording you would like used (or avoided), readings, poems, prayers, quotes, anecdotes, thoughts and notes from others can all be included.

The timeline will make sure you and I know how the day will go for my part of it, with a clear running order for us and for the other people involved, including the venue, photographer, musicians etc
