The Blending of Families...
...is a natural occurrence in every day life. Our
experience reveals that children feel more
accepting of a marriage when they are included in
the wedding vows and can express their love.
Often, there will be a symbol of family unity
exchanged ~ even words of commitment or a shared
prayer given to ensure the loving bonds between
adult and child.
We recognize that the bond between families is
just as sacred as your own in partnership. By
adapting any of Rev. Lucie's ceremonies, you can
include all of your family members, from
generations ago to those to come. This enables you
to stand within a great circle of love, bridging
time. Your marriage is the unifying bond that
creates a home, and that home is your container
for your children to grow and carry forward.
Rev. Lucie has an innate ability to receive and
multiply the joy of children in a ceremony. While
catering to your own special day, she balances
your family's needs and integrates them easily
into words of love for all to share.
Please feel free to include family members in your
sacred time, both young and old. We invite these
ideas and enjoy adding to your ceremony more love,
more joy, and more blessings for you!
FAMILY MEDALLIONS & PRESENTATIONS
Rev. Lucie encourages inclusion on all levels.
Many of our family blending ceremonies have a
special exchange, much like the rings exchanged as
symbols of your union as a couple. Some families
use medallions, some use a special item that
symbolizes the family in some way - from pocket
watches to bracelets. Below are some links for
these very special items.
Planning the Family Ceremony
Please
contact Rev. Lucie to make an appointment to
discuss your plans to join families. While your
initial phone or email communication is
complimentary, planning a ceremony for a blending
of families requires significant consulation and
possibly meeting time. Rev. Lucie's standard
charges for pre-ceremony guidance meetings will
apply, in addition to her fee for Ministry.
