Question
What should I expect during the Quaker ceremony?
Answer
This is a Quaker tradition that symbolizes the community's role in our journey together. The Quaker ceremony will include a period of approximately 30 minutes of reflection, during which guests are warmly invited to share a message, quote, poem, or wish for the couple. You’re welcome to speak from something prepared, or from the light within you in the moment. Whatever feels right, and of course there is no pressure to speak unless you feel inspired. This is also a time for quiet reflection, and we ask that space is left after each speaker to honor that silence and the spirit of the Quaker tradition. Following this, Elena and Rob will exchange their vows and rings, followed by the signing of the wedding certificate; first by Elena and Rob, and then by family and friends as witnesses to the day.
