My Approach to Wedding Ceremonies
The Story of Your Lives
As an acclaimed, professional storyteller (since the last century!), I love preparing, telling and listening to stories, especially love stories…the great world myths like Tristan and Isolde, Zal and Rudabeh, Sita and Ram…but especially, your here-and-now amazing story.
Your story brings the passion and the narrative of mythic love stories to life once again…in fact, I think there’s a genius element in your story. Genius?
Yes, as someone who hears story from the inside out, I know there is a deep genius that lives in love.
It had its beginning in your first moments of attraction and deepened as your love story grew. It includes your caring appreciation, expressiveness and deep listening: what you love and how you love it. Your love’s genius is fulfilled in your shared life in the world, in the ways in which your commitment reshapes and ensouls life around you. That’s all part of the deep genius of your togetherness, and of course, it is unique to the two of you.
It will be clear to others in the way you create your wedding, and marriage, and how you share it with them.
That is why the story of your love is so profoundly a part of your wedding.
That’s what I do – I create your wedding to give voice to your love genius.
What a joy.
The Planning of Your Ceremony
Our ceremonies are NEVER ‘cut-and-paste’, ‘choose between poem A or B’, internet downloaded, boring-predictable-yawn, mundane.
What we DO do is personalized, creative, enlivened, meaningful, sacred, brilliant, gorgeous, bespoke, lively, fun and profound.
Your wedding will be skillfully prepared and presented to please you and your guests in every way, 100% Guaranteed. That’s our commitment to you and your beloved.
The heart of your wedding is your unique love story, professionally written with care, and beautifully retold. How could it be any other way? Your true love story inspires an extraordinary ceremony – your wedding may likely be the first one your guests will listen to, from start to finish!
All elements of your wedding are carefully crafted: from the Welcoming Words, your chosen rituals, to your Presentation as a Married Couple. You have complete and final approval over every word and every aspect of your ceremony.
Imagine how confident and relaxed you will be on your wedding day, knowing how beautifully it will unfold!
And, unlike many BC Officiants, we accept only one ceremony per day, available to be at your side as early and for as long as you need us.
Life Threads Ceremonies is honoured to be your chosen Life Cycle Celebrant and professional wedding consultant, from our first conversation to your big day.
My Wedding Promise to You
Life Threads Ceremonies create only extraordinary weddings.
I know, what a claim! Yet, it’s true. Read our reviews.
Our ceremonies are NEVER ‘cut-and-paste’, ‘choose between poem A or B’, internet downloaded, boring-predictable-yawn, mundane.
What we DO do is personalized, creative, enlivened, meaningful, sacred, brilliant, gorgeous, bespoke, lively, fun and profound.
The tender words we speak to one another are stored in the secret heart of heaven.
And one day, like rain, they will fall, and our Mystery will grow green over all the Earth.
– Rumi
