Autumn ceremonial wedding planning
Writing the marriage service script was pure pleasure. We incorporated all important family members and revised many drafts to get it right. Nayan and Caroline spilled the beans on their love life and guided me down a romantic memory lane. Of course, the couple didn’t share all the juicy bits, just enough to create a lively fall wedding ceremony.
Autumn ceremonial wedding
With a greenhouse wedding ceremony, the see-through glass walls and ceilings gave us all a feeling we were outside, without being exposed to the elements. Under the enticing autumn afternoon sun of the Dutch conservatory, family and friends witnessed the couple make promises of undying love, loyalty and commitment.
The kiss and swapping of vows
The couple choose not to swap personal vows but opted for the “official” wedding vows. It read: To have and to hold from this day forward, etc. Then, the ultimate moment of the fall wedding ceremony arrived, it was time for the groom to kiss the bride I said, “You may now kiss each other.” Family and friends began to cheer and clap, as Nayan and Caroline warmly embraced in each others arms.
Autumn ceremonial wedding symbolism
Did you know my fall wedding ceremonies are not complete without signing a symbolic certificate? This occurs after the best man delivers the rings and the the circles of love is exchanged. And Nayan sealed the deal and confirmed their commitment to each other by hitting the ceremonial hammer on a wooden block. There were smiles of joy and everyone was overwhelmed with happiness.
Final wedding ceremony act
Lastly, Caroline and Nayan invited family and friends to affirm that they would help them find middle ground and fall in love, time and time again with each other. Everyone responded with “We will”. It was a memorable moment and their were roars of laughter and non-stop tears of joy. A great beginning to married life and a wonderful closure to a autumn wedding day!
