Sirata Resort - Beach Wedding, Sand Unity Ceremony


Congratulations Tara and Joe!!! Your wedding at the Sirata was fantastic!! The weather was beautiful, the soft gentle breeze was just enough to cool everyone off and the sunset made for fantastic photos! I loved the Black and White theme with the bridesmaids gowns, and the beautiful red roses. The flower girl took her role very seriously making sure she only dropped one rose petal at a time to mark your entrance! During the sand ceremony, Joe and Tara poured sand into their beautiful engraved sand ceremony vases. Tara and Joe honored their parents with a special mention of their long term marriages, Francis and Bonnie celebrated 41 years of marriage, and Lee and Bill celebrated 34 years! Tara and Joe wrote very personal vows for each other. We were very honored to officiate their wedding. All our best for many years of happiness, health, and prosperity!

Sandpearl Resort - Congratulations Jaclyn and Daryl!!

Jaclyn and Daryl had a spectacular wedding at the Sandpearl in Clearwater, Florida. One of the awesome ideas that this couple implemented was that they had 5 Maids of Honor and 5 Best Men! They told me that they just couldn't select any one particular person so they decided to give them ALL the honorary title! How creative! The flowers were stunning and the men all had starfish on their lapels making it a real beachside wedding theme. The wedding was held with Rev. Pauline officiating, and the couple were beaming with their love for each other. Congratulations Jaclyn and Daryl!

Sandpearl Resort - Congratulations Carrie and Omar!

Carrie and Omar exchanged their vows at a religious ceremony on the beach at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater, Florida.  I so enjoyed working with this beautiful couple and their families!  The weather was spectacular, and the Sandpearl again provided top notch service for the couple both for the ceremony and the reception.  The professional photographers for the wedding were Shakespear Photography, and I will post some of their photos on a later blog.  One of the nice things about a beach wedding at the Sandpearl, they had a refreshment area with a variety of cooling drinks available while the guests were waiting for the beginning of the ceremony.  Since the couple really wanted to have a unity candle ritual, it was decided to have it at the reception just prior to the dinner blessing.  One of my favorite things was the chocolate fountain.  Yum!  Congratulations Omar and Carrie!  Best wishes for a long, health and happy marriage!

Destination Tarpon Springs - Sunset Beach

Ann and Jon had always loved their visits to Florida in the past and when the time came to tie the knot, it was an easy decision for them!  They called Lovingunity.com and after discussing  their style and wishes, they chose to be married at Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs.  What is better than expressing your vows with your toes in the sand, the gentle breeze swaying the palm trees, and the sound of the ocean coming to shore.  The intimate wedding ceremony with their expression of  personal words to each other was so beautiful.  Ann and Jon, CONGRATULAIONS!  May you be blessed with a very long, happy and healthy marriage.

Custom Ceremony & Vows Written Just For You!


Times are changing, and due to economic strains, couples are seeking ways to save money as they plan their wedding ceremonies. Several couples have told me that they wanted to ask a close friend or relative to officiate their wedding, but they didn't know where to begin.

If you would like someone to officiate your wedding, and they are approved by the state of Florida, then by all means, allow me to work with you. I will be honored to custom write a ceremony for you and vows that will reflect your own style and wishes. Then you will receive the custom ceremony and the person of your choice can officiate for you.

The fee for me to craft your ceremony and vows would be $100.00 and you would receive it within two weeks of our discussion. Please call me at 207 590-6339 if you would like to begin the process or email me at lovingunity@gmail.com.
