Gorgeous Greek beach wedding ceremony on Halki

There is a Greek dance hailing from the island of Kalymnos which depicts a man, crippled with decompression sickness, as many sponge divers were.  The dance starts off slowly with the lead dancer, the crippled sponge diver, barely able to stand even with the use of a stick.  The music starts slowly, but as it […]

To the dogs in our lives!

Nearly all my couples are dog owners, dog rescuers or even dog trainers! It’s a popular trend these days for couples to involve their dogs in the ceremony: ring bearers, accompanying the bride down the aisle or just being part of the day.

How to write wedding vows

Nothing in your wedding ceremony should feel unnatural or uncomfortable to you, particularly these expressions of devotion and intent. This is the heart of the ceremony, the reason why we are all gathered here today. Make them count and don’t be afraid to do them your way.

Get your Greek on – the bits I loved from 2017 continued
