It's All About You
| Q | We want a memorable service and are thinking of booking a celebrant. Do you have any ideas of how we can make the day more personal? |
| A | Gemma Jay says: A celebrant is the perfect choice if you're looking to personalise your day. Start the day as you mean to go on and set the tone with a ceremony that celebrates your journey together, telling your love story. A lot of newly engaged couples have never heard of a celebrant, so they don't know there is another option, but we are the hottest trend in weddings right now. Celebrant-led ceremonies are not currently legally binding in England, so you would need to register the marriage at the registry office, but by doing so, you open up a world of possibilities. A celebrant-led ceremony is a true reflection of you as a couple and incorporates your likes, loves and passions. You have the opportunity to have an input in your ceremony, from who you choose to deliver it right down to the elements you want to include. Do you want your guests to be involved? Are we raising a toast or doing shots? Do you have nerdy or quirky fandoms? Mixed faith, children, grandparents, let's include them! Your ceremony should be fun, relaxed and all about you. There are so many options for what you can include in a ceremony, from handfasting to unity candles, sand blending and fingerprint trees. A trained celebrant will unpick your ideas and help inspire you to create your vision and a one-of-a-kind ceremony that will leave your family and guests talking. You have input in everything else for your day, so why not the ceremony? |
