DISCOVER MY APPROACH OF SYMBOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY
@desimagesetvous
Why a symbolic wedding ceremony is perfect for you?
Marriage allows love to be spoken, to be sung, to be celebrated. Love needs to be expressed in a sacred way, It needs rituals, pledges of how it incarnates the wondrous and the divine. David Sonet, Découvrons l’amour
@MarieCalfopoulos
The impersonal civil ceremony leaves you feeling dissatisfied. In addition, you do not wish or are unable to have a religious ceremony (unbeliever, divorced, a couple where both have different religions, a couple remarriage, gay or lesbian union, LGBT…).
Do you dream to exchange your vows, your consents and rings during an intense and unique moment of sharing, all in music, at the place of your reception, where your family and guests will feel as involved as both of you ?
So a symbolic wedding ceremony is an awesome romantic modern way to celebrate your love and commitment.
What’s a French symbolic wedding ceremony or secular ceremony?
A symbolic wedding ceremony is also called a humanist ceremony or a secular* ceremony in France. It has no legal value. It’s a meaningful non-religious & non-civil symbolic ceremony performed by a wedding celebrant / officiant. It’s is very personal and everything is fully customizable, starting from the order of service, the choice of words, music, rituals, speeches… It gives you the unique opportunity and flexibilité to express your personality, tastes and values.
*Beyond the mere principle of secularism and the separation of Church and State, secularity is closer to a humanist life philosophy and freedom of thought.
What if your symbolic wedding ceremony could be the highlight of your big day ?
@ChristelleGilles
What will you remember about your wedding 10 years later ?
Couples spend hours choosing details for their reception to make sure their guests have an amazing time at their big Day. Sadly, the ceremony is often a tiring obligation guests have to suffer through before they can get a drink. Don’t let your ceremony be conventional and boring !
In 10 years, you’ll probably have forgotten the cake or flowers. But you will forever remember the sacred moment of your exchange of vows. You will endlessly cherish the feelings, emotions and connection to what the two of you share with each other and your loved ones.
Your symbolic wedding ceremony is an eternal gift
As your big Day starts with the ceremony, your love celebration should galvanize you and your audience with French style. The magic happens as you decide to prioritize the connection between the two of you and focus on your alchemy. Because your dream for your marriage should be the soul of your wedding
A soulfull ceremony authentic to you is a chance for your guests to fill their hearts invigorated by the healing power of Love. It’s definitely the promise of an intense moment of sharing with your loved ones.
