Hi ya'll,
We're having a pagan handfasting ceremony and wanted to include a rose ceremony. Basically we'd have single flowers on the altar and give them to my mom, all three of my grandmas, my FI's grandma, and lay one in an empty chair for his mom (she passed in 2005 because of cancer). We're looking for a reading to use during it for my lil sis to read. But all I can find are ones pertaining to the bride and groom. Any ideas? Also we're doing a different version of the unity candle. In memory of my paternal grandfather (who passed in 08 and was daddy to me) and Fi's mom my paternal grandmother will light one candle and his maternal grandma (also the only grandparent he has left) will light the other. Then we'll use them to light the center candle...kinda a way of symbolizing that they're with us in spirit and they bless our union. Any ideas for a reading for it? Any help would be great!
Thanks!!!
Sevati
PS: I also posted this on the Ceremony Ideas board...didn't get a lot of response...figured I'd get a better one on here cause my weddings not so traditional.
