Be witness to two souls joined as one.
Our ceremony will be an intimate and intentional union centered on commitment, symbolism, and shared vows. We will begin with a welcome and a reflection on the meaning of partnership, followed by personal vows we have written for one another. We will exchange rings as a symbol of our enduring devotion and conclude with a handfasting ritual. An ancient tradition in which our hands are bound together with cord to represent the intertwining of our lives, choices, and futures.
