The Cup or Wine Ceremony

Kirsty & Vlad's sip from the Cup at their Wine Ceremony as the declaration of their marriage at their wedding in the hinterland at the Glengariff Historic Estate and Winery in the Dayboro Valley north of Brisbane.
A favourite
with couples, this ritual
involves the best friend pouring a goblet of wine and handing it to the
couple. The celebrant
invites them to take a sip of wine for each blessing.
“And now please drink to the love you’ve shared in the past.”
The Couple each one sips from the cup.
“Drink to the love in the present, on this your commitment day.”
The Couple each one sips from the cup.
“And drink to your love in the future and forever more.”
The Couple each one sips from the cup.

Kirsty and Vlad sign the Marriage Certificates after the Wine Ceremony Declarationat the Glengariff Historic Estate and Winery in the Dayboro Valley north of Brisbane.

The Rose Ceremony or Rose Exchange

The couple
exchange a single red rose as a symbol of their love and commitment on
their special day. A single red rose always means “I love you” and
becomes their first gift to each other as a committed couple. The
couple pick one very special location in their home for roses, and that
on each anniversary they both take a rose to that special place, as a
recommitment to their vows each year and an affirmation that this is a
union based on love.

Marilyn, we would both like to thank you for conducting our renewal vow ceremony. The format and ideas were exactly what we wanted for our special day. The way you incorporated our love story was beautiful and we loved the rose ceremony. Thank you for being part of our special ceremony.
Testimonial Andy & Rebecca

Sarah and Mauro exchanged roses as part of their modern contemporary wedding ceremony on Main
Beach the Spit on the Gold Coast. Marilyn integrated part of their love story into the Rose Ceremony so they can relive and celebrate their love story every anniversary.

Cassadra and Alejandro had red roses to represent their family who was not with them anymore and the candle represented a dear friend.
