Happy mid-week to all!
On Monday I talked about how excited we were that our officiant picked us and I wanted to explain what I was talking about.
When I initially thought about having to find someone to perform our ceremony I felt pretty nervous. Getting married is a pretty big deal and I felt pretty nervous about having a stranger partake in such an important part of our lives.......and then we met Bethel.
The short of it, Bethel is amazing.
The long of it:
She too does not want to be a stranger at your wedding. She wants to take the time to get to know you as individuals and as a couple so that when the big day comes, she is a friend partaking in the celebration. When we met with Bethel for the first time last week we talked for over an hour about everything: Aaron and I, herself, her travels and her business.
Bethel only marries couples she feels comfortable with. That being said, if she feels you are not the right fit for her she wont perform your ceremony. This could seem harsh to some but for us it made us feel special. For someone to be so passionate about what they do that they would turn down business to protect their credibility says a lot.
Over the next eleven months Aaron and I will be working with Bethel to create a meaningful ceremony for the big day that is unique to us. I can't wait for this, I am really really excited about it.
And now to spread some holiday cheer, my favorite Christmas song:
