COURTSHIP STORY
When couples choose my Courtship Ceremony or Love Story and Keepsake package, I share a portion of their unique journey together — with their permission — to personalize their wedding. Below is an example of how a courtship story is delivered in the ceremony.

John and Jessica met on a blind date.  When John knocked on Jessica’s door that evening, and she opened it and they saw each other for the first time, they were both nervous, excited, and optimistic. And the “just friends” stage of their relationship lasted about five minutes!  They knew instantly that they were in for something more than that. The stars aligned and  their hearts opened to one another. Their first date was ideal: dinner and a concert. The conversation was effortless.  Their second date included Sushi. They closed two bars, walked the 16th Street mall, and talked for hours. The evening ended with their first kiss. John and Jessica began growing into love from the beginning. After two years of courtship, John made an elaborate plan to propose to Jessica. He would take her to Breckenridge, ride the gondola up, and propose on top of the mountain - on top of the world.  So they traveled there only to find that there was no snow and the gondola was shut down! Not to be deterred, John took her to a sushi restaurant instead!  After lunch, they strolled along a stream and walked onto some large rocks in the water.  Jessica noticed that John was shaking, and understood why when he suddenly dropped to one knee! Out there, in the middle of the river, he told Jessica how much he loved her, and asked her to be his wife. And she said, "Yes!"  But John did not take the ring out of his pocket until they were back on the river’s bank!
