Original Unity Ceremony

"heart ceremony"

I know now everyone has the opportunity, but my uncle married us and wrote our ceremony from scratch it was the most original, wonderful and personal ceremony EVER. We have got so many compliments and I absolutely LOVED it. It is somewhat long, but if you are interested in reading it let me know and I can email it to you. He goes in to our love story and how we met and how the universe creates one person to meet at the perfect time and how we met and how we are perfect because I bring magic into the world and Brandon defines the world. Anyways it was really sweet.

Now onto the point. I wanted some kind of unity ceremony so he came up with a "heart ceremony". He had us make a heart symbol like the one in the picture off to the left. Then talked about how we are created in a great love and when we embrace that love we will be living the best life there is, and this symbol is in case we ever lose site of God's love, each others love, feel lonely etc. We look back on this symbol and all the love it holds. Eventually after he was done incorporating the symbol into our story he asked us if we were ready to let go of our hearts so that we may now join lives. At that point we dropped our heart symbol and joined hands.

It was a sweet ceremony and can be altered the way you like and my favorite part is taking these heart pictures now. We take heart pictures to constantly hold memories...we are "feeling our hearts with love and memories" :)

Next up I will post the wonderful vows he wrote that were beautiful!!!
