Your Ceremony

How we can make your wedding ceremony special to you

Our offerings

The Registry Office is just your legal formality - you both sign a contract but your 'real' marriage means so much more. Your Wedding in France will be celebrated in your own unique way, whether it is with your family and friends or just the two of you.
With our help, you can compose your own personal wedding ceremony for your special day.

The Loving cup

 Share a glass of the local ‘blanquette’ as a symbol of sharing your lives together from now on.

The Sands of time

 A single grain of sand is infinitesimal but combining them can create something long lasting just like your love.

Tying the knot

As in ancient times, fasten your hands together and remain forever lovingly ‘joined’ to one another.

The Unity candle

Bring your individual flames lovingly together to light your one ‘unity’ candle which you can keep to relight on each wedding anniversary

We will e-mail you our sample script to use as a framework, helping and advising you throughout the process to create you own personal ceremony.

You select the elements you wish to include and even add your own words creating your own personal and unique wedding. 

 

We will also send you helpful hints in planning your ceremony.


We are happy to conduct a bi-lingual English / French ceremony.


Some or all of the elements below can be included in your ceremony but please let us know your thoughts:


There are no extra fees, the candles, goblet, sand jar and knot cord are included.

An extract from our script …

Blessing the Ring(s). The wedding ring is a traditional symbol of lasting commitment and enduring love. This pair of rings I bless as the manifestation of two ideals; the circle, apprehended by the hand and eyes, the universal expression of that which has no end and no beginning, and in the centre, the very essence of the love in which your marriage puts its faith and from which it draws inspiration and sustenance, tangible to the wearer. In the rings you place upon each other's hands - both of you will feel, when together or apart, the reality of your eternal love.
