So many weddings are more that the merging of couples, they are also the merging of families.  It's important at some time during the ceremony, to include remarks or vows that include the children.  Children are easily added to the ceremony by including them in the introduction, in a ritual or as part of the vows themselves.  Many times, a gift is given to the child as a remembrance of the day their life changed as a member of a new family.  

It's been a busy wedding season and it has been an honor to perform the following weddings and I have included some of the testimonials:

Cindy is just as sweet throughout the whole process as she is the first time you meet her.  She's intelligent, understands love and relationships and people and is genuinely kind-hearted.  We loved her.
We felt comfortable throughout the whole process with Cindy, right through the ceremony and afterwards -- she attended our reception at our request and we loved having her there.   I especially like that she seemed to be on the same wavelength as Bill and I on what we wanted and how we wanted to say it.  What she wrote was near-perfect (that's why get to edit throughout the process - but honestly there was very little of it!).  Once we completed our questionnaires, it seemed easy from there.  The questionnaire was hard and long, but enables her to understand you and your groom so much better, so both Bill and I gave it everything so she could have a true picture of us.  

 And she allowed us to write our own pieces and put it in with the ceremony, which worked out well. 

She was sweet during the ceremony as she is one-on-one and smiled and was loving and human throughout.  She dressed appropriately -- we'd discussed it beforehand then I left it up to her -- I trusted her judgment at that point.

 Her price was awesome.  It depends on what she is doing for you, but we had many quotes at quadruple and more for what she did. Many.  We looked a long time to find the right fit in Cindy -- she was definitely not the first person we came across, and was one of many we actually contacted.   She was the only one we loved from the beginning and have not been sorry. Our wedding was awesome and everything was perfect.  Cindy had a big part in that -- because the ceremony was the most important to us and what was said.  Oh, and all the guests were in tears (so I'm told) and loved everything said.

Hello Cynthia,
I hope all is well. I have to say my family and friends said so many wonderful comments about the ceremony. It was perfect in every way. I appreciate all your efforts. You were truly thoughtful in personalizing our ceremony. Thank you so much for bringing the backup music. I found out too late in the game the DJ was not up to speed. Thank goodness you were there to save the day. Take Care, Pendora
