MILL - LEAT WEDDING BLESSINGS & COMMEMORATIONS

FOR COUPLES NEGOTIATING OR CELEBRATING LIFE-LONG PARTNERSHIPS

Marriage is one of life’s greatest occasions, a cause for great joy and celebration. It is also a time of solemnity, an exchange of promises of commitment and of life-long partnership. It’s easy to get caught up in the frenetic planning of festivities, only to neglect the most significant part of the process, the very reason for the happy event. Such momentous decisions and promises shared in the company of loved ones deserve the necessary time and space for serious reflection, planning, and administering.

Based in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National park in Southern Wales, Mill-Leat offers tailor-made services of blessing and rites of passage, for couples seeking to affirm their love and commitment to one another, in the context of a meaningful and memorable occasion.

WHO IS THE SERVICE FOR?

  • Couples seeking a registry office wedding, who would appreciate not only a personal and spiritual ethos to the ceremony itself, but who would also welcome an imaginative approach with creative ideas to making the day a particularly special occasion.
  • Partners who have suffered divorce from a previous marriage, and who are seeking God’s blessing and the support of loved ones, as they embark on this new stage of their lives together.
  • Those who marry overseas and who might welcome the opportunity to celebrate their union and celebrate their wedding in the company of family and friends.
  • Married couples who have been through difficult times together, and who wish to explore their relationship afresh and renew their marital vows.
  • Partners of a same sex union, seeking to bless their relationship and exchange vows in the company and support of loved ones.
  • Couples wishing to celebrate a significant wedding anniversary and who would like to express their joy and gratitude in a service of thanksgiving and rededication.
  • Those who would like to conduct their ceremony in a special and meaningful location.

    We provide services for people from different cultures. We plan the ceremony in consultation with you reflecting your particular needs and circumstances combined with our ideas and experience. Our inspiration is drawn from Christian beliefs and values.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

An initial consultation with the couple helps to:

  • Understand and appreciate ideas and beliefs important to the family.
  • Generate ideas for the kind of Service of Blessing that would be meaningful to you.
  • Discuss possibilities of a suitable date and setting for the ceremony, be this in the family home or in a 'special' place.
  • Assess estimated costs involved.

The two-hour consultation costs £30.

 

THE CELEBRATION SERVICE

On the decision to proceed with a Service of Blessing, a draft 'Order of Service' can be drawn up, agreed and arranged.
