My name is Jennifer Curran and I would help to help you take those first steps toward a loving, happy and long lasting life together. What you hold most dear, what you choose to include in your ceremony and how you would like your family and friends to participate are big decisions. Sometimes a guiding hand is just what you need. Words are my specialty and I firmly believe that what we say in life's most memorable moments stay with us.
Whether you are looking to create a more formal ceremony or something simple and from the heart, together we can get it just right. What is important, what really matters, is that you make it your day. It should never matter what the budget says, every bride and every groom deserves to have a ceremony that will carry with it smiles, affection and maybe a few tears. A few ceremonial ideas include:
- Handfasting - I take pride in my knowledge of this very old, Celtic tradition. It makes a beautiful moment that can include just the marrying couple or an entire family.
- Sand Ceremony - This visual and breathtaking ceremony creates a vase of sand art. This ceremony is often used in outdoor ceremonies in the place of the Unity Candle.
- Non-denominational Christian ceremonies - This type of ceremony is inclusive and is often crafted with much input from the bride and groom. I would be happy to include Bible passages or prayers that you choose.
- Inter-faith Ceremony - There is no reason to feel like you have to choose one over the other. We can word together and include the faith of each of you.
- Non-religious ceremony - I have several templates that you can choose from or we can draft an entirely new and unique script to read from.

Same Sex Marriages
We live in a wonderful place where love is all that is needed to get married. I am a contributing member of Mass Equality and the Human Rights Campaign. I see no difference in marrying a heterosexual couple or a gay couple or a lesbian couple. I don't have a special page for these weddings because to do so would be to imply that these weddings are not the same or are different from those of "straight" couples. For me, love is love.
I am anxiously awaiting the day where even a paragraph isn't needed.
