Steal Away! I got the idea from someone else ... that's what BDW is all about! I had never heard of a Hand Ceremony before joining this forum!

This site has a TON of great ceremony readings on it. It's where I got most of the ideas... Orange County Wedding Officiants Ministers Non-denominational Wedding Ceremonies

Tami- thanks for posting this site! I'm so glad I didn't know about BDW a year ago when i first got engaged b/c this site has taken over my life! There is so much more to think about than had ever crossed my mind! If I had been thinking about all of this for the past year i think i would be single by now : ) I think i'm doing the hand ceremony now. And i like the red rose idea too.

We did a hand blessing too. There must be many varieties out there...here was the sample our minister sent us. I remember him saying something about children at the actual ceremony, and it being longer than this because our arms were getting tired...lol very similar to Tami's though:

 

Hand Blessing

 

Jamy, please face William and hold his hands, palms up, so that you may see the gift that they are to you.

 

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and tears of joy. These are the hands that will comfort you in illness and hold you when fear or grief fills you. These are the hands that will give you support and celebrate with you in your accomplishments.

 

William, take a look at the position of your hands with Jamy's and know that this is the last time that you will have the “upper hand.”

 

William, please hold Jamy’s hands, palms up, so that you may see the gift that they are to you.

 

These are the hands of your best friend, smooth, young and carefree, as she promises to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times. They are the hands that will comfort you when you are sick or console you when you are grieving. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will give you support as she encourages you to fulfill your dreams.

 

Our prayer for you today is that both of you will use these hands to build a marriage where all your dreams come true.

We are doing traditional vows but we also wrote our own. We checked out this website (warning alot of it is cheesy) Welcome | 365vows.com and pulled out the things we wanted to express. Instead of both of us repeating the same thing, he will say one verse, I will say the second and we will alternate back and forth. We are also doing the hand and sand ceremony.

I totally agree! I have become obsessed with BDW as well ... and my family doesn't understand that I am so intent on getting so many DIY projects done b/c they would have never thought of all of this stuff either. I think they think that I am crazy. lol. smile03.gif

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
