Our Ceremony

Joe and I have started talking recently about ceremony ideas.  I feel like so much time is put into planning the reception that oftentimes the ceremony - the reason we are all coming together in the first place! - is overlooked.  As a result, most ceremonies I go to are predictable and, although definitely not boring, repetitive.  Although we are getting married in a church, and thus do not have complete control over the content of our ceremony, I want ours to be unique and memorable.  At the very least, we are writing our own vows.

Readings

• Song of Solomon 8: 6-7 "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.  It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.  Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."
• We will have this SOMEWHERE in our ceremony.  Probably just as an excerpt on the program, but that is OK with me.  Falling in love is like owning a dog
