blending of the beliefs, spirituality and love of two individuals. Ceremonies
are designed for couples with various beliefs, backgrounds and situations.
Love knows no religious boundaries, and your wedding ceremony deserves to
reflect your own, unique oneness as a couple.
The Interfaith Wedding
You are encouraged to celebrate your diverse backgrounds by incorporating
rituals, blessings, prayers and readings reflective of your heritage. These can be
adapted in a universal context for interfaith, intercultural, and interracial
marriages. These traditions can be celebrated with or without religious context,
as well. The symbolism of the rituals within interfaith and intercultural
ceremonies is explained to all those present.
Interfaith couples often feel it important that clergypersons of both their faiths
participate in the marriage ceremony. I am happy to co-officiate with
clergypersons of other faiths.

you believe. Together we create a unique, meaningful and memorable ritual to
celebrate this special day. Whether it is a traditional ceremony or one that we
create together, it will honor, reflect and enhance your personal faith and
feelings.
I will use those ideas, wishes and values that are meaningful specifically to you as
a couple in the creation of your personalized ceremony. For example, we ensure
that your traditions are honored and celebrated in a way that makes everyone feel
comfortable. The Spirituality of your commitment to each other is emphasized.
Family issues are reconciled with great sensitivity.

all those present. In order to get to know one another, I ask many questions, so I
can then speak to your hearts and your souls during the ceremony. In this way,
your ceremony shall remain alive within you, resonating throughout your
married lives.
