The Stone Ceremony
Many of my clients have requested a ritual that can involve both family and guests.
The Stone Ceremony usually involves using highly polished small stones. The stones are presented to guests, family and the wedding party on their arrival. This is yet another great way to involve everyone present.
The guests hold these stones and make a loving wish for the couple’s life together. Some couples provide felt tipped pens for the guests and family to write their names and to add their wish.
The stones are then collected and placed in a container as a memento.
A Special Wish
The stones are symbolic of the separate lives both led until they met. Now the united loving guests and family have enriched their lives.
Each stone represents a special wish that the couple can take with them to reflect on during their married life together.
New stones can be added each year, at the anniversary of your wedding.
Be Different
There are a number of variations to this uniting and highly symbolic ceremony. Some couples may choose to use seashells, dried flowers, glass or crystal.
I can help you create this beautiful ceremony in a simple loving format.
If you wish, the stone ceremony can be even further developed. It is possible to integrate the sand ceremony or water ceremony. The couple can pour different coloured sand or water onto the stones in the container. Not only have guests and family “Wished Upon A Stone”, but also the couple have now declared that their lives have become one.
I can offer a range of beautiful verse to enhance this unique and very different wedding ceremony.
