Mythical soul mates Cupid and Psyche.

You have finally met the love of your life and now you are ready to pledge your love before divine spirt and your community. How wonderful!

Marriage is the mystical, emotional and physical union of two human beings. It is the joining of two lives, two life stories, and two families. Sometimes, it is the joining together of two faiths and the merging of different family and cultural traditions. Even soul mates who share deep and profound love must give careful thought to how they want to merge all these aspects of their new life together, starting with the wedding ceremony.

Your wedding ceremony is a precious moment in time in which you can speak the truth your heart longs to share and set the intention for the marriage you want to create. It's the sacred start of the history you will live and create together.

Give some thought to the following aspects of your ceremony:

* Will you include any aspects of the religions or traditons you were bith born into, or would you prefer a non-denominational ceremony?

* Will you write and speak your own vows, or would you rather speak your vows in a "repeat-after-me" fashion, where the minister leads your through them?

* Do you want family and friends involved, doing readings, poems or blessings, or partaking in the rituals and the procession?

* Do you want just words and readings, or would you like rituals, such as a wine or candlelighting ceremony?

There are so many options for creating the wedding of your dreams!
