Al,
Just wanted to send a quick little email to let you know that I've read the sample ceremonies you sent. I've just sat here and cried from the sweetness and tenderness and poignancy of them. I see that some of the writings you've collected and, others I'm guessing you wrote. How lovely and touching they are.

For me, I've waited for almost as many years as you've been married to make a marital commitment again. I've regarded that step as such a special thing to do that I would do it only very guardedly. Having found such an exceptional person with whom to make such a significant step...well, it deserved special words. I was a little skeptical that we'd find someone who could help us to communicate to craft and deliver our message.

I started my search for an officiant through the internet, looking at messages, faces, and approaches. I wanted to try to intuit what was ultimately and profoundly important to each, not just what they were trying to sell. People I knew told me that I'd not remember what was said, nor would anyone else, it goes so fast. What would it matter anyhow? But, I just felt that it would, it might. If we had our guests attention for 15 or 30 minutes even, we might have a chance to make their lives better by saying something that would effect their own relationships. Finding your website with samples was my first bit of excitement, speaking to you was a second comforting moment and receiving the samples this morning...well, I was almost overwhelmed with joy. I am absolutely confident that what we wish to share with our family and friends will be said and, nothing missed.

Thank you,
Cathy
