It was absolutely the greatest day of my life.
We were on top of the world!
So thrilled to be married at last, with so much love in our hearts, so much excitement for the years to come!
Surely, love would conquer all!
Summer is here and I am busy officiating weddings, happy to be doing work that I truly love.
I remember feeling, at my wedding in 2001, as if I dropped into an expanded, buoyant state of grace.
It lasted for about six months after the wedding.
There had been an overwhelming outpouring of love and support for us at the wedding and it really did help us launch into our married life.

The centerpiece of the "Heart Story" Wedding is my telling of the beautiful, unfolding story of your love relationship, your Heart Story.
This 5-7 minute sharing creates an unforgettable high point in the middle of your wedding ceremony.
Your Heart Story includes input from your best man and maid or matron of honor, personal anecdotes that highlight your Heart Story from other perspectives.
Your spiritual/religious language preferences (traditional religious, spiritual but not religious, or secular/humanist) are reflected in every element of the ceremony.

In an Unforgettable You wedding, every element is crafted with the Bride and Groom's preferences in mind.
Nick and Emily had special requests and some great ideas.
So we incorporated them into the ceremony.
When I learned that they had an interest in fine whiskeys, I suggested adding a Whiskey Toast.
This replaced the usual Unity Candle or Sacred Stone Ceremony.
They loved the idea, so I wrote up the beautiful language for this new element that we came up with during our conversations together.

Most of us enter married life without the skills we need to navigate the challenges of working and living with another person.
We know that a spouse isn't exactly a roommate, but we don't know how to negotiate daily life.
We often fall back on the example our parents gave us.
And so we recreate an old pattern that may not be right for us.
That's why I am excited to offer couple counseling for couples before and after marriage.
If you're finding some rougher areas in your relationship, that doesn't mean you have picked the wrong mate - it just means you're both human!
