A ceremony that sounded like them
The couple wanted the ceremony to focus on the words that mattered to them. Deb helped shape it around their plans and a reading Christie had chosen.
“Christie and Gavin’s ceremony was very simple as they didn’t want unnecessary fluff that didn’t mean anything to them.”
— Deb, their celebrant
A reading with personal meaning
Christie chose a reading adapted from “A Reminder for the One I Love” by Rachyl Taylor. Its message was about the meaning behind the everyday words “I love you”.
Talk with your celebrant about readings that matter to you and any permission needed for using or adapting them.
