Simple answer is Yes, of course.

There are only a very few necessary things that enable your ceremony to meet the legal requirements for the solemnisation of marriage.

Specifically, the Celebrant has to identify himself, has to identify you both, give a definition of marriage, and you and your partner have to say certain words in your vows.

Beyond that, almost anything at all can be included provided the Marriage Act is not contradicted (e.g. you can't say I don't believe in marriage) and so saging or any similar practice is perfectly fine.

So again, yes, what else would you like to inlcude?

You can have major input into your ceremony. There are only three mandatory requirements - the monitum, the legal vows and the signing and witnessing of the marriage certioficates. Everything else can be peronal choice. I always work with my couples, giving them advice and options to make their ceremony as they want.

Each ceremony then is very unique.

Your wedding, your choices. There are aspects that must be adhered to make your marriage legal but I would work with you to make this occasion your special day.

Absolutely, this is your wedding and my speciality is finding out your story and weaving this into the ceremony.  This is yours and your partners special day and apart from the the legal parts of the ceremony you can incorporate almost anything else into your ceremony.

Of course.   It is important to design and perform the ceremony to your needs and desires. Happy to discuss what you want. But it looks like there are several people here who have much more experience in this than I!

To "incorporate your spirit" into your wedding ceremony,

* you can share uplifting stories about your relationship,

* include inspiring readings or poems,

*saging ceremony 

* incorporate meaningful cultural traditions, or

* select music and vows that reflect your shared values and love story,

* ultimately making your wedding a true celebration of your love.

* You could also empower your guests to participate in interactive elements, such as a ring warming ceremony or a communal vow, to make them feel like an integral part of the day.

To incorporate saging into a wedding-
we will

light a smudge stick of sage and fan the smoke around the couple to cleanse negative energy and promote positive intentions, a ritual that can occur before the ceremony to set a sacred space or during the ceremony as a blessing for clarity, love, and harmony. The ritual can involve the couple wafting the smoke over themselves or the officiant walking around them in a circle, focusing on intentions like grounding, balance, and a fresh start for their marriage

* Will be delighted to discuss more in details.

We could absolutely  incorporate spirit into your ceremony. As a spiritual person, priestess, and reiki practitioner, I often weave sacred elements into my work. If you’d like, I can include saging or other energy-clearing rituals to create a calm, intentional space. Together, we can design a ceremony that not only reflects your love story but also holds the spiritual depth and sacred energy that feels right for you and your partner.
