Ceremonies we've presented:
The ring bearer was an elderly female Labrador Retriever. She came out with a beautiful ribbon bow presenting the ring box! Guests clapped and laughed. Marley looked around & thought, “I don't know what I'm doing to get this welcome, but I'll keep doing it.”
Unrehearsed events during ceremonies:
We were in the forested countryside by the water. The papers were being signed as the rain began. I was going to reprint the ceremony vows for the couple then I realized the raindrops on the paper are authentic of the new weather. They laughed out loud when they received it. This beautiful family and many in attendance were fostering children. This was a heartfelt gathering. We were at the river's edge with chairs and a fairly large crowd.
The Bridal Party were busy signing the when the flock of Canadian Geese took to the air, When the Bride was signing a generous goose dropped a gift a nature on the document! She looked astounded while the guests offered laughter. Another natural Blessing to remember.
