SECOND MARRIAGES

In Alberta there are no legal restrictions to prevent a person who has been divorced or widowed from remarrying. Couples can celebrate their new lives together just as first-timers with contemporary or traditional ceremonies. I believe that the manner in which your ceremony is conducted, with meaningful words spoken in a friendly and warm manner, you and your family will experience a ceremony to remember for the rest of your life. Couples remarrying often choose to do something different; the choice is yours, THIS IS YOUR MARRIAGE, the celebration of your love, your important day. I would be delighted to officiate and share this exciting and wonderful day with you.

The Rose and Unity Candle Ceremonies are very popular for First and Second Marriage celebrations and Vow Renewal ceremonies.

UNITY CANDLE CEREMONY

The Unity Candle symbolizes the essence of the wedding ceremony. Two taper candles, representing the couple as individuals, are used to light a single center candle as a visible symbol of their commitment to each other. The unity candle burns from the lighting of two individual candles. The lighting of a single candle to symbolically represent the renewed commitment of husband and wife has become a popular part of second marriage celebrations.

ROSE CEREMONY

The Rose Ceremony is simple yet profoundly moving. The bride and groom exchange two red roses, symbolizing the giving and receiving of their love for each other throughout their entire married life. The Rose Ceremony also conveys how to use the rose and its symbolism in difficult times in order to forgive each other.

UNITY SAND CEREMONY

In an age where couples are planning weddings that are unique to their beliefs and lifestyle. The sand ceremony can be personalized many different ways to fit the occasion. After the ceremony, the couple has a unique keepsake to remember their wedding day. The sand ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful addition to your vows.

HAND CEREMONY

In the hand ceremony, I invite the bride and groom to view the hands of the other as a gift. while reciting a very poignant and appropriate poem.
