As a Wedding Officiant in Seattle, it's my privilege and honor to be upfront and personal with couples as they move forward to their wedding day - and on their wedding day. As this is my first blog, I'll make this short and sweet.
As a "marrying lady," here is what I know for sure.
- That there is no such thing as a 'perfect wedding' and that this label thrown around by vendors in the wedding industry makes me crazy. Believe it or not, it's often the imperfect moments on a wedding day that are the most precious and memorable.
- A wedding ceremony is most often an 'out of body experience." I frequently hear from the couples I am honored to work with that they actually remember about 50% of their wedding ceremony experience. A wedding ceremony is a huge moment - it's full of emotion and there is lots of "stuff" swirling around the room, no matter how intimate or large a wedding.
- That couples who use the time of their engagement period to strengthen their relationship and bond will walk more elegantly and gracefully into their wedding day. Wedding planning can often numb normal feelings and thoughts that need to be voiced and expressed prior to a wedding day. Our "isn't this perfect" society doesn't fully allow for a bride or groom to share pre-wedding jitters - that are often perfectly normal.
