Rituals can be used to add symbolic and personal meaning to your ceremony. Many are based on ancient traditions and have purposes that include building community connection, promoting healing, offering hope and strengthening love.
Actions often speak louder than words, and participating in a ritual, alongside explanations of the significance and symbolism of the ritual, can give greater expression of emotions and make an occasion deeply personal and meaningful.
Depending on the ritual choices made, they may enhance the ceremony in one or more of the following ways: –
- Allowing more guests to participate in the ceremony,
- Providing a lasting memory and/or keepsake of the occasion,
- Adding an element of fun, or interest to the ceremony,
- An opportunity to share or honour individual interests, cultural heritage, beliefs or customs,
- A chance to demonstrate the depth of love or grief without having to say anything,
Here are a few ideas that you may wish to think about, and there are plenty more options available to suit all tastes and occasions. Or perhaps we can invent one especially for you…
