Indivdual and couples counseling for bride and groom.

 Utilizing the wedding questionairr and worksheet will help clarify your vision, values and plan. This process allows us to become familiar with one another while begining the creative process for writing your vows and planning your personalized ceremony.

I invite you to let this inspire and empower your process as individuals and as a marrying couple preparing to take vows of committment and dedication to your relationship. I can be your guide with as much support and assistance as you need. We can work together to craft  the best possible reflection of your individual selves, your relationship, and your wedding vision.

One must be grounded and well prepared for the ceremony of marriage, the promise you are about to make is the most intimate offering you can ever make to another being. In honoring this I offer a wide and rich variety of ceremonial tools at your disposal. I invite you to be creative, and make it your own, it can look any way you would like it to. Working together, we create the wedding you've been dreaming of. Crafting it together, or making it simple by providing vows and sacred scripts for you to choose from.

To work with the questionnaire and work sheet….

I suggest that you utilize the work sheet in the following way…sit comfortably with a printed copy of the below questions, each with a note pad of preferably large paper. Relax and allow some  free-writing to occur as well as un-edited answering of the questions. Discuss it with one another as you feel to and allow the process to be spread over a few days or weeks time if that’s what it takes to drop in deeply.
Most of all make it fun, personal, and real ...be honest and make sure to remember the joy.
