Then I let Séverine get familiar with the area where the ceremony was to take place, talk to the DJ and to the photographer https://www.antoineborzeix.fr/and talk to the family members chosen to give a reading. Then came the moment when stress takes over and this kind of stress, believe me, never goes away, even after having celebrated dozens of ceremonies because it is there to remind us how important our role is for the bride and groom. I could feel Séverine’s stress level just before the ceremony but I felt that is he guests settled on the site of the sun-drenched ceremony (Yes, yes, I said the sun in Brittany I guided the bridal procession and then married to the rhythm of the selected music and then I went set back so as not to add to Séverine’s pressure.
Séverine celebrated the ceremony with remarkable professionalism combining emotional words and fun stories, respectfully asking loved ones to give their reading and finally inviting the Bride & Groom to exchange their vows and wedding rings. Once the ceremony was over, we had the pleasure to mingle with the guests over a glass of champagne and then decided to leave and let the bride and groom enjoy their evening with family and friends.
On the way home, I could sense that Séverine was both relieved and animated with a sense of accomplishment. Boosted by this burst of happiness and positive energy, Séverine told me that she took great pleasure in celebrating this ceremony. That is exactly what being a wedding celebrant is about: Being a part of the bridal couple’s life for a few weeks or months, discovering their personality, designing a script that reflects who they are, celebrating the ceremony and leaving them to enjoy their magical day, feeling that we have made a difference in their lives and taking with us precious memories to cherish for years to come.
