Wedding Officiating and Ministering
- First meeting (3-4 months in advance of wedding): introductions, background of couple, overview discussion of wedding, ceremony ideas in particular, desires/needs, dislikes, belief systems, meaning of marriage, wedding site, vows, music, literary and spiritual readings, scripture, use of language and more... (1.5 - 3 hours)
- Second meeting (2-4 weeks before wedding): decisions made about above (1-1.5 hours)
- Guidance writing and editing vows
- Available for Spiritual Guidance throughout the months prior to wedding
- Lifelong karmic connection to couple
- Fire Purification ritual (Optional) (rehearsal night): with friends and family I lead everyone in blessing you with handfuls of black and white sesame seeds that we throw into an outdoor fire (could be a b-b-q, a fire pit, or small fire). A good time for questions and for people to meet each other before the big day. This usually turns out to be very special and sets the spiritual tone for the following day. (Less $100 to overall fee if you don't want to do this).
