Honor your cultural or spiritual heritage in your ceremony. This can be a simple nod to a tradition or an elaborate incorporation. I have incorporated Native American, Jewish, Chinese, Thai, Hindu, Scottish, Spanish and Irish traditions into ceremonies and look forward to doing more! All I ask is that we be respectful and not ask me to do anything that would be inappropriate or reserved for an elder or holy leader.
New York
State law requires that you have a marriage license and
that you state in my presence and in front of least
one other witness that each takes the other as his or her
spouse. As far as I am concerned, the rest can be whatever
you want!
Your
ceremony can express your personality, spiritual beliefs, and
thoughts on love and relationship. Whether you are
traditional or non-traditional, religious, spiritual, an atheist or
agnostic there is a way to express yourselves as a
couple.
This link describes several ceremony types: Custom Created, Short and Sweet and Totally Unique..
Baby Blessing ceremonies celebrate your child’s unique spirit, promise your commitment as a parent; and can also welcome the child into your extended family, family of choice or a larger community.
Marriage is a commitment not to be entered into lightly. Through personal experience, research and interviewing couples and therapists, I have put together a few topics for discussion for couples considering marriage, located in the Reserved for Booked Couples section of my website. If you feel you would benefit by some spiritual guidance through these topics, I am happy to arrange fee based counseling or you can seek out a professional couples' therapist.
One of my couples told me that they also learned a lot by reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
