Optional Add in Ceremonies: 

Unity Candle : Traditional. Not recommended for outside weddings.

Sand Ceremony: A nice way to include children in ceremony.

Rose Ceremony: A good way to honor the mothers, use as a first gift as a married couple, or to honor loved ones that have passed.

Hand fasting/tying: Celtic/modern. Uses ribbon or cords to "bind" the couple.

Jumping of the Broom: Can be symbolic of starting married life with past being swept clean. Can mean prosperity and sweeping away negativity. 

Breaking of the glass: Traditionally used in Jewish Wedding Ceremonies, but couples are now using in non-traditional ceremonies. Many different views on symbolism. Can represent the fragility of life and marriage, that once it is broken, it can not be be put back together.

There are many different types of symbolic and ethnic ceremonies that can be incorporated into your ceremony.  We can help you find the one to fit your ceremony.

Any items needed for optional ceremonies are the responsibility of the couple. Officiant does not provide any materials for these ceremonies.
