July 2015 • White Rose Ceremonies

The Vow Renewal Ceremony for Kim and Nigel was a complete surprise for them. Planned down to the last detail by their daughter Nikki, who was ably supported by their youngest daughter JoJo, it was held in a very quaint village hall with bunting, cakes and lots of music. A break in the torrential rain from the previous day meant that the afternoon had a magical and exciting feel to it.

Kim and Nigel were driven to the hall by their friends in silver cars emblazoned with purple ribbon. Thinking it was a surprise birthday party, they were greeted with the announcement that they were about to take part in their own Vow Renewal. A fabulous couple, they took it all in their stride and were surrounded by their family and friends as the ceremony took place.

We spent time with Nikki before the ceremony talking about Kim and Nigel, finding out what was important to them and what they loved about each other. We also provided Nikki with our Wedding Book which contains many wonderful ideas while she was thinking about the ceremony.

We used a specially prepared script to make the Vow Renewal Ceremony personal to Kim and Nigel and included a Hand Ceremony using beautifully vibrant purple and red ribbons and a re-dedication of the wedding rings they have worn so lovingly for twenty years. The vows were written and read by their daughters and were very special, tender and meaningful.

It proved to be a wonderfully emotional, yet happy, ceremony. There were tears, cheers, laughter and applause throughout and the celebrations continued into the evening with singing and entertainment provided by all.

Nikki sent us a wonderful message the following day: “Thank you so so much for yesterday and everything you have done. It was perfect and the photos are amazing! I honestly cannot thank you enough and everyone kept saying how amazing you were, so thank you xxx”.

We were made to feel very welcome and had a fabulous time with Kim and Nigel, their famiy and friends. We wish them many more years of love, happiness and laughter together.

“Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal”.

A Debating Chamber, a field, a labyrinth, a supermarket, Cambridge University Colleges, an Inn, a Mansion House, a barn, a privately owned old hall, a working farm, village halls, a family home – these are just some of the locations we have delivered unique wedding ceremonies. Where will you hold your Wedding Ceremony?

We are contacted by many people who are frustrated not just by the standard script that’s delivered at ‘normal’ wedding ceremonies, but by the lack of opportunity to hold their Wedding Ceremony at a location that’s special and personal to them. Provided you complete the legalities at your local Register Office, we can then deliver your wedding ceremony wherever you want it. OK, we don’t jump out of planes, bungee jump or get naked, but other than that we are very flexible!

We also provide our lovely wedding couples with our unique White Rose Wedding Book which has over fifty pages of ideas for your wedding ceremony. How to involve special people, wedding vows, ring vows, different ceremonies to consider and lots (and lots!) of readings and poems. We include those special moments where you say “I do” in all our ceremonies. We deliver very special traditional wedding ceremonies but we can also mix it up, ensuring your guests are intrigued and engaged throughout the whole ceremony.

As well as providing you with a super copy of your Wedding Ceremony Script and Certificate afterwards, we also bring our own wellies, umbrellas and spare outfits to cater for all weather conditions!

Our focus is on you and what you want in your ceremony – and where you want it. We can deliver your Wedding Ceremony outside in the fresh air or inside at your home, local hall or at a formal venue. Here are links to some of the stunning venues where we have delivered ceremonies:

Tofte Manor, Bedfordshire

The Old Hall, Ely

Nonsuch Mansion in Surrey

Downing College in Cambridge

The Cambridge Union (Debating Chamber)
