The wedding ceremony will be officiated by our good friend Dr. Steven Saul. With our assistance he is designing a ceremony which we feel will be a meaningful and memorable experience for everyone. Based on our early meetings we have decided that our intention for the day will be based on these key words: Comfortable, Sacred, Authentic, Inspiring, Fun/Enjoyable, Engaging, and Moving, where Love Is Present at all times.

We will be building an altar with a trellis on the ceremony site. On it, we will place some small items that have special significance to us. We invite you to also place a small item or token on the altar; a little note along with it would be nice, too. Some of the things we will have on the altar include: pebbles, pine cones, dried plants or flowers, crystals, notes, wooden carvings or sticks, ticket stubs, little toys, feathers, and on and on. If you have something you want to lend to the aura of the ceremony but want to take with you when you leave, then by all means please do so. Please don't feel obligated to leave something there.

Music!   The ceremony will include: bagpipes, balafons (African xylophone-type things, very cool...), and a variety of African drums played by us and some of our friends at Sehwe Village Percussion group. Later on, music of any style with any kind of instrumentation could spontaneously break out at any moment. Yup!
