In addition to my previous post and upon looking back on my first few years of being a Celebrant I am now perhaps better placed to review the year from a different perspective than I normally would prior to my entering the profession.
I have officiated at weddings, naming ceremonies across North Wales, from beautiful hotels to idyllic countryside venues, from one side of North Wales to the other and each one has been a unique and bespoke service ensuring that happy couples, parents and families have exactly the type of service they want.
And that's what makes a Celebrants job so satisfying, knowing that you are helping people to achieve their dream of creating a really memorable occasion.
We have delivered wedding ceremonies that have included symbolic sand ceremonies providing happy couples with heart shaped glasses filled by family and guests with different coloured sands thereby providing, together with our Commemorative copy of service a lifelong reminder of their special day.
We have provided memory candles in memory of those no longer with us and ensured that everyone attending either as family or guests were involved in each ceremony.
People are becoming more aware that they have a choice between a traditional Church service or a service that provides them with something different and totally unique and personally bespoke.
People with Christian faith will often choose a Christian service within their place of worship, but if they choose not, then a Celebrant ceremony can provide them with a service that also reflects upon their beliefs.
A special day needs to hold special memories for those attending, and we are so glad that we have helped create those lifelong memories.
Naming ceremonies are becoming more and more popular and in difference to traditional church services allows all of the family to be involved with the guardians in welcoming their bundle of joy into the big wide world.
Our services have done just that as each parent, grandparent, guardian and all those in attendance make their own promises to the new arrival and their parents in helping to create a positive and inspiring future for their little one.
As posted previously I have also officiated at many Celebration of Life funeral services across North Wales and the North West and helped to acknowledge and celebrate the lives of so many wonderful people.
These past few years have given me so much inspiration and although I've experienced a complete range of emotions I have been reminded of just how great our society is both through the eyes of those who I have had the pleasure of working with and from the memories of those who are no longer with us.
We are living in difficult times and occasionally I often think that the World has gone mad but what inspires me most is that ordinary hard working people and their families unite as one in good or bad times, reminding us all that no matter what this crazy world throws at us our families are the most important thing in life.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy healthy and prosperous New Year.
