The wedding ceremony of Jake and Alyse was in the dramatic foyer of The Palace in Somerset, NJ. The procession was stunning as the wedding party came down the split staircase. In the picture above, you see that they had their parents stand with them during the ceremony...and the parents loved it.
The ceremony began with my telling their wonderful love story. In nearly all the wedding ceremonies I create, the love story is a focal point. This was especially true for Alyse and Jake's wedding ceremony. Their story of long distance romance that survived obstaces because of their deep love for one another was compelling. Vowing to love one another for life...the best Valentine ever!
Ceremony Tip: The flower girl in this wedding ceremony was very young, too young to walk down the aisle herself. Her father, the brother of the bride, carried her and helped her toss the flower petals. It was cute, it was stressfree for the little girl, and she had her dad there to help. So, one way to include very young children in your wedding ceremony is to have them complete their role with a trusted adult with them throughout the ceremony.
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
