Tracing back from Scotish / English heritage this is a Celtic tradition. The bride and grooms hands are held and a ribbon is draped around them, bounding them from individuals to now a new couple in marital unity. A nice poem or meaningful words can be said by the Celebrant or the Bricde and Groom. The ribbon is generally conducted at the end of the ceremony and is a keep sake for the couple.

This ceremony symbolises a new beginning. With the releasing of the Doves mutually from a basket and into the sky really is a wonderful and captivating experience and memory for yourselves and your guests. It will also be a fantastic photo opportunity.

This is a really fun ceremony to perform, especially for the Wine lovers and will definately soothe those nerves!

This ceremony involves the pouring of 2 bottles or glasses of wine (favourite of each the Bride and Groom) and is poured into a wine decanter. The two wines are combined and then are poured into two glasses for the Bride and Groom where the Bride and Groom will then take a sip or (sips) from their glasses.

This is a fun and light hearted ceremony that is conducted by the Bride and Groom in front of their guests after they have said their vows. The Bride and Groom take a photo on the polaroid of each other to record their exact feelings / expressions on their face at that particular time. Although there is a professional photographer, this is one of those photos they can not print immediately and can be passed around the guests and placed on the signing book afterwards. Its a good way to relax the ceremony, have a laugh and a great memory by all.

This is a great ceremony where you can include the children whether it be kids together or kids from separate relationships. This is where a Child/s and/or Bride and Groom have a smaller vase each with a gold fish each inside the water. Then at the same time they all pour the water and goldfish into an empty centre vase / bowl. This symbolised the unity of the family and will be a great moment for the children to be involved in and then look after the fish thereafter. A great family photo opportunity.

This ceremony is a rather popular ritual and symbolises the uniting of the Bride & Groom. It identifies that the two individuals come as one and join together. Two different colours are chosen (one for each the Bride & Groom) and as they are poured toegther into a centre vase, it then symbolises that they can not be separated like the sands in the vase, they can not be separated to their own separate colours again.

This ceremony entails the exchanging of a rose each as the couples say their vows. The roses are kept in a vase before and after and the roses are kept and dried as a keep sake of their day

This is a fantastic ceremony when you wish to involve certain family members or the bridal party or even grandparents. A body of water or nearby lake, river, ocean or well etc is at the location and each person holds a wishing stone.

This is like a gift or wish for the Bride & Groom.

This ceremony can be done in numerous ways, however the best one i like is all the guests either seated or standing are handed a shell either upon arrival or during ceremony. They are to hold the shell and write their name on the shell in black permanent marker and all the shells are collected after the ceremony and placed into a jar for a keepsake. It is a memory of each and every person that shared in your special day.

As the Wedding ceremony begins, the Celebrant will advise your guests at the beginning about the Warming of the Rings ritual, this is when the Best Man will hand the rings around (the rings tied together on a ribbon) to the last person at the back of the room and will ask each person from back to the front to 

This ceremony is a great keep sake and involves each guest. Upon sitting down, an usher or family / friend will hand each person a paper note and a pen.
