The Sand Ceremony is a very popular wedding ritual. In this ritual, the bride and groom each come to the ceremony with a vessel filled with sand of a certain color. The different color sands in the separate vessels represent the uniqueness and the wholeness of each individual. If children are involved in the new union, they may each have a separate vessel of their own with their unique identifying colored sand. Bride and groom, then, each take turns holding their vessel and speaking of who they are as an individual, including their hopes and dreams for the future, as Find Out More

I really love this tradition. It’s based on Old Time agreements. Apparently, once you gave your word on a deal, you secured it by taking some salt out of your little salt pouch and putting it into the pouch of the person you were making the deal with. yoga poses for standing taller and better posture superdril interesting fitness facts about human body – fitneass You could break your word whenever you wanted–you simply had to remove your exact grains of salt from his bag of salt.

Wedding Rings are a symbol, a daily reminder of the Marriage Vows you have taken. There are many lovely Ring Vows.  Here’s a very sweet example: Groom: With this ring, I give you my promise that my heart will be your shelter, My arms your home. We will walk together through all things. Know that you are deeply loved. I feel honored to henceforth call you my wife and fortunate to forever call you my Love.  

Wedding rings are so personal and they say so much. They are a symbol of the vows you have spoken. We very rarely have the opportunity in life to give our vow. Marriage is sacred in many ways. One of them is the vows. A vow is way more than a promise. A vow is your word. Not to be taken lightly. We must consider deeply and know our hearts truly before we make take such a serious step in our lives. That’s why the rings are so important. They are a daily, minute-by-minute reminder that we made such vows. Find Out More

I love the Sedona “wedding walk”–the new Mr. and Mrs. strolling towards their new life together. It’s like the first dance here in Sedona. This one is under the big shade trees of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing. The bride and groom are always in a happy haze. “We did it! We’re married!!” Such a joyous walk in such a beautiful place. This photo brings back happy memories as the groom had contacted me seven months earlier from active duty in Afghanistan. I prayed for him until the moment he called me stateside and said, “I’m back, Reverend Iala. Find Out More

Marriage is the great leap of faith.  That’s because when we marry we promise to love each other–not only as we feel today–but as we intend to feel for a lifetime. With our Sedona weddings, we celebrate the love that will grow and deepen over a lifetime. The leap of faith is a good thing. On your wedding day, it is a jump for JOY! May you always remember the Joy that set wings to your feet. Amen.

Wintertime wonderland wedding! It took a lot of trust on the part of our bride and groom. All day long it was raining. Just before the wedding, it turned to snow. And there we were in a beautiful Winter Wonderland. Truly Sedona does not do ugly. She is beautiful in any weather and every day! Our bride and groom were thrilled. Snow is Sedona is fairly rare–they definitely were blessed. No one even felt the cold. In fact, the bride wore open-toed shoes through the snow drifts. We were on a a snowy Cloud 9.
