Getting married? Congratulations! There’s a lot to do to prepare for the big day. So much so, in fact, that the most important part of the day - the reason for and focal point of the day - the Ceremony, is often left until the end and overwhelmed couples end up going with cookie-cutter ceremonies from their JP or Minister just to save time, or worse, end up spending vast amounts of money to have a Celebrant put it together for them. Your Wedding Ceremony does not have to be like everyone else’s, and you don’t have to spend an arm and leg to have someone else create it for you. Putting a ceremony together that reflects your own personalities and values can be easy, not to mention fun! This class gives couples the tools and the step-by-step guidance to create their own unique, inspiring, and unforgettable Marriage Ceremony! Monday, October 20, $25, 6:00-9:00 pm
