There are many ways to say ‘I love you’. A Life-Cycle Celebrant knows how to capture the ones that are just right for you and your partner. And if "a picture paints a thousand words," then so too do the symbolic actions in a personal ceremony designed to express the love you have for each other. As well as exchanging rings there is a world of other meaningful gestures that tell more than words can say.

There are many different seasons for love’s gestures too, from the first commitment of engagement to the celebration of a long life, with all its joys, sorrows and triumphs, shared with your soul mate. Whatever you wish to say and do in terms of vows, renewal of vows, declaring your love and appreciation for a deeply loved other, I will be able to accommodate you. I ask only that your declarations of love are genuine and that you do not make vows you are not committed to keeping.

Marriage is a legal bond and as such is covered by laws of the land which must be obeyed. Please note that Northern Irish law states that the signing of the register must be officiated by an official registrar or a church pastor, so you will need to arrange the signing of this legal document separately from your celebrant ceremony.

Your wedding or Commitment Ceremony can be themed in any way you choose, but here are examples of what I can offer:

• Celtic Heritage. Using traditional Irish or Scots rituals for binding couples in matrimony.
• Unity. For the bride and groom of different culture/faith backgrounds - blending traditional rituals and words from both backgrounds to symbolise your unity.
• Nature Lovers. Celebrating your love through the beauty of the natural world, and using ancient rituals of nature.
• One Family. Honouring and including other important family members such as children, parents or grandparents in your ceremony.
• Sweet Hearts. Themed around you, the happy couple, and your personal love story.
