"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is a single power, a single magic, a single salvation - and that is called loving." Herman Hesse
Weddings are beautiful, joyful, moving occasions, when two people come together with the intention to share their lives with one another in love. A specially created wedding ceremony is a wonderful opportunity for you to declare, to one another, to your families and to your communities, what your relationship means to you both, and the vows and commitments you choose to make to one another. It is a chance to consciously choose together what you want your relationship to be.
I offer wedding or commitment ceremonies to all couples in loving, committed relationships, regardless of sexual orientation. A note on marriage law in Scotland.
"To love is to return to a home we never left, to remember who we are."
Sam Keen
During or before our first meeting, I will ask you to answer various questions which are designed to help you to become clear about what your relationship means to you, what your strengths and weaknesses are as a couple, and your hopes for the future of your relationship. Many couples also find answering these questions very helpful in writing their own vows.
There are also some questions it might be useful to consider when looking at the practical aspects of your wedding:-
- Will it be a large, public ceremony, or a small ceremony jut for close friends and family?
- Do you want the wedding ceremony to be legally recognised? (I am able to perform legally registered wedding ceremonies in Scotland only.)
- What commitments will you make to one another?
- Do you wish to include commitments to your communities? to the Divine?
- Do you have children, from this or a previous relationship? Do you want to include them in the ceremony in some way?
I create the ceremony together with you, reflecting your beliefs, values and priorities, both as individuals and as a couple, and conduct the ceremony at a place and time of your choosing.
