Medieval Theme Wedding

I was just approached to do a Medieval theme wedding ceremony for a couple planning their second wedding in Broward county at the Parkland Golf & Country Club.

As a ceremony officiant who is both an ordained minister and a notary public I have been approached to do a vast variety of themes and traditions for ceremonies. From hand fasting and unity candles to jumping the broom and breaking the glass, there are many wonderful traditions to make your ceremony a personalized experience.

Don't settle for the same old, same old on your wedding day. Personalize! Take a good look at your family tree and get creative with your special day. Embrace your roots.

I am from a Scottish background and while my wife would not agree to Kilts, she did agree to let me wear a cummerbund and bow tie with my family's tartan (yes we actually wore cummerbunds and bow ties back then).

The afore mentioned bride and groom will be dressed in Celtic garb with the groom in kilt. They are planning to have me in medieval robes and a bagpiper to play the wedding march! We will be doing a Celtic handfasting ceremony along with other traditions. Just imagine the photography and videography we will be able to capture of this day!

One thing is for certain, if this couples family attend ten weddings this year, they will all remember the Celtic wedding best.
