We still do …

So that I can get to know you both.

You can tell me the story of your marriage - your love story.

I love to hear all about your Wedding Day, what made it magical, wonderful.

You tell me how you would like to celebrate the renewal of your wedding vows, and whether you’d like to include any elements from your original Wedding in this ceremony or you’d like something completely different and original.

How would you like your family to be involved in your ceremony? Will any of your original guests, Bridesmaids, Best Men be present?

We’ll consider where you'd like your vow renewal ceremony to take place. Perhaps the same place you got married, somewhere you both love, or even in your own garden.

And of course, the date of your ceremony so that I can book you in my calendar and begin crafting your bespoke Vow Renewal Ceremony.

It’s time to get creative.

As your Celebrant, I’ll take all the information that you’ve shared with me during our meeting to craft a beautiful ceremony that is unique to you.

I can help you write a fresh set of vows that reflect your lives together and celebrate your partnership in the present day and onwards to your future.

If you have children, step-children or grandchildren, you might like to consider involving them in the ceremony. perhaps by sharing a reading, ring bearers, or to take part in a special ritual …

There are some wonderful ceremony rituals that you like to include, or perhap you have some that are traditional to you and your family. These include Hand Fasting ceremony where each family member can offer a different colour ribbon, Sand ceremony; using a different colour sand for each family member, lighting candles, or planting trees. There are so many and there are no limits with the creative aspects of designing your ceremony.

You can choose to exchange new rings or re-exchange your original wedding rings during the ceremony and we can include a ring blessing ceremony, where your rings are blessed by all your family and friends.

I’ll include readings and poems - you may have your own favourites, perhaps from your original day, or something that is relevant to the present. I can suggest some if you need.

And you may like to include music as part of your ceremony.

I’ll weave all the elements together to create a beautiful ceremony which you’ll approve before the day. And don’t worry, there won’t be any surprises - I won’t deliver anything that you haven’t agreed to beforehand.

I’ll arrive in good time on the day of your Vow Renewal Ceremony at your location.

If you’ve chosen to have your ceremony outside, we will have already discussed a back up plan, if the weather decides not to play ball.

Your venue will have already been set up by your party planners / family and friends.

Your guests will arrive and settle and then your Vow Renewal Ceremony can begin.

And then all that you need to do is to enjoy your special day, surrounded by your family and friends and say “I Still Do” and celebrate your onward paths into your future life together.
