In honor of Black History Month, here are some African & African American Wedding rituals. There's more than Jumping the Broom to choose from!

Thank you so much to all of the photographers we meet as wedding officiants! I am the worst at taking photos while I'm the "lady with the book". Thank you Grain & Compass for capturing Matt and Alex's beautiful May wedding.

This is a magical moment. We find magic in the strangest of places – in a whimsical garden, long forgotten attics, in the palm of a loved one’s hand, and most particularly in books. It is from one of these magical books that we find our reading for this evening: from Philip Pullman’s The Amber Spyglass.

I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again… I’ll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me.
