Wedding Ceremony music is important. Your wedding ceremony music will set the tone for your wedding ceremony, romantic, whimsical, upbeat, what do you want to hear? 

It's not easy, change, but here we are again, changing the gathering guidelines. 

Here's the highlights: 

-Ceremonies can happen, must meet the social distancing and capacity guidelines.
-25 people outdoor max
-social distance per household 

So, what do we do now? Well, we follow the guidelines for gathering for your wedding. We get you married, because marriage is what you came for! Take the opportunity to get married on your date and then press pause on your reception and plan for a new date to party and celebrate when you can include everyone! 

​

In the state of Michigan only the couple who is getting married can apply for and obtain their marriage license. Your Minister, Priest,Officiant or other person can't do it for you. 

Did you even know you have to get a license to be legally married in Michigan? 

Whatever county you live in, go to that counties website for the clerks office, search marriage license and view their current application instructions, their all different right now due to Covid. 

Remember your marriage license is valid for 33 days after the date of application, so apply on time and get married on time. 

That's right people, if you choose to elope you don't have to do it in secrecy, you don't have to run away without your parents permission...do people still get "permission"?

Anyway, eloping today simply put means to marry quickly with a few guests. 

So, if you choose to elope, you can gather your closest friends and or family, pick a date a few days or weeks out and get hitched! 

You can email me and we'll set it up at a local restaurant or given the current covid conditions probably outdoors. Eitherway, you're in love and you should be able to elope! 

Today is my 20th wedding anniversary. Everyday I make the choice to choose love. I fall in love with my husband over and over in many different ways for different reasons. I choose to see the love he gifts to me over and over. I choose to understand his desires and goals and to help him the best I can. I choose to know he is not perfect and to accept the possibilities that imperfection give. I choose everyday to love him in all the ways I can, even if that's from a distance or quietly or loudly and strongly. 

Everyday we're faced with many choices, love, laughter, patience, kindness, fortitude...and on and on. I would never push my hopes onto someone else but I will say this, I do hope at the end of everyday you love yourself enough to know the love you give is a choice and you make the best choices for you.
