I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO ALL THE COUPLES WHO HAVE GIVEN ME THE PRIVILEGE OF OFFICIATING AT THEIR WEDDING CEREMONIES. AFTER YEARS OF OFFICIATING AT WEDDING CEREMONIES OF ALL KINDS, IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT MY EXPERIENCE COULD BE HELPFUL BOTH TO COUPLES WHO ARE SETTING OUT TO DESIGN THEIR OWN CEREMONIES AND TO CLERGY WHO ARE INCREASINGLY CALLED ON TO PREFER, WEDDING CEREMONIES THAT ARE CUSTOMIZED TO THE BELIEFS, VALUES, AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE COUPLE. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE COLLECTED NUMEROUS CEREMONIAL ELEMENTS THAT COUPLES WANTED TO INCORPORATE IN THEIR WEDDINGS AND HAVE WRITTEN MANY MYSELF. REMEMBER THAT YOUR WEDDING IS A CELEBRATION OF YOUR LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER. ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO PERSONALIZE YOUR CEREMONY IN WAYS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO YOU. LET HE VOWS YOU MAKE DURING YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY REVEAL THE UNIQUE LOVE YOU SHARE.
