WHY I LOVE WEDDINGS

 -Rev. Dr. Forrest Whitman

 

What could be more rewarding than helping a couple develop the wedding ceremony that will make their guests laugh with delight and also will seal their wedding vows with dignity? I love getting to know couples and developing a special ceremony with them.

 

I see some old wedding customs coming back as a new trend in 2012.  More and more couples marrying in Colorado are using those old frontier promises and other old Colorado customs. Some are doing the old Colorado hooray! Those customs allow the guests to participate. That trend back to some old customs seems to be happening whether couples are religious or not, spiritual or not, gay, straight, inter-faith or however they see themselves.

 

My one piece of advice is always: “Relax, laugh, enjoy your ceremony because it starts your married life off right.”

We'd just gotten out on the deck by the stream when it hit...amazingly hard. Her two ring bearer dogs were so soaked they looked like seals. it was still great fun and folks laughed really a lot.

Martin at the Black Forest Restaurant just spent an afternoon with a wedding couple. They are planning a lovely wedding reception in the waterfall room after I celebrate the ceremony outdoors. Summer weddings are luscious!

Here's the photo Susan took,,,Cool!

I'll be meeting with Lauren, Gus and their daughter to keep planning their wedding. They've been going over my template and are making progress. Why meet at Moonlight pizza in Salida? Well, we've got to do that nice task with a nine year old helping. This should work and help us develop a pretty special day.
