Rituals
Adding Meaning
Rituals can be a meaningful addition to your wedding ceremony. A ritual may connect people and can symbolise your new shared reality as a married couple. Rituals may also be used in other life ceremonies. You may choose from the following rituals or another you may prefer. A ritual may be included in the Rose Ceremony package at no extra cost to you. If you'd like one of the rituals included in one of the Chocolate Ceremony packages, or for something other than a wedding, please contact me to discuss this.
