Portsmouth Elks Lodge, Portsmouth, NH

Performed a beautiful Custom Spiritual Wedding Ceremony for a wonderful couple and their children at the Elks on Sunday. The ceremony featured a Sand Ceremony with each of the children having a separate vile of sand that they combined by pouring into the main vessel with the bride and groom. The couple also read poems to each other. You can see those below. Colors were light blue and beige. Best wishes Chad, Lorrie, and kids!

 

These I can Promise

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;

I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;

I cannot promise you an easy pathway

That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart’s devotion;

A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;

A love that’s ever true and ever growing;

A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

Yes, I’ll Marry You.

 

To My Bride

To my Bride, I give you my heart,

sharing love each day from the very start.

To my Bride, I give you my kiss,

filling each day with joy and bliss.

To my Bride, I give you my being,

to love, to play, to work, and to sing.

To my Bride, I give you my mind,

learning each day to be more kind.

To my Bride, I give you my soul,

growing together to be more whole.

To my Bride, I give you my life,

Rejoicing each day you are my wife.
