If you are feeling shaky before the ceremony, you are normal.

Even the most confident couples get hit with a wave of nerves when it becomes real.

Here is my simplest, most practical advice.

Eat something!!

Not a full meal, just enough that your body is not running on adrenaline and empty stomach.
Drink water. Dehydration makes anxiety louder.
Then do one minute of breathing. In for four. Out for six. The longer exhale tells your nervous system, we are safe.

And remember this. You do not have to be perfect. You do not have to deliver a performance. You just have to be present with your person.

If you want a ceremony that feels calm, steady, and human, send me a message and let’s build it that way.

My husband and I got married this past weekend at Neck Point Park and were privileged to have James as our celebrant.

James went above and beyond for us. We met with him months before the wedding and he wrote us a personalized ceremony intertwining our beautiful beach setting in his words.

James is so humble and genuine and when we first met with him it was like we had known him forever. My husband and I were so nervous to read our vows but having James standing there with us he made us feel so calm. His presence is warming.

We just wanted to say thank you sooooo much for making our day so amazing! So many people were commenting on how amazing James officiated our ceremony. From his sweet words to even offering up his umbrella to my aunt while it rained.

We feel so lucky we found James for our wedding and will never ever forget him. So thank you 10000x and everyone please consider getting an officiant that you can meet before your special day as you will feel like you have a lifelong friend marrying you!

James we miss you already! 🖤🖤🖤
