One: Confirm the date
Phone / email me to set a date and time and confirm this by paying the deposit.
Two: Ceremony Planning
Make a time to meet with me to explore the shape of the ceremony. If you live outside of Cape Town we can do that by email / skype. We will consider its length, overall feeling, level of formality, as well as the values and qualities you want to honour. We will choose symbols to reflect the meaning you want to celebrate. We can include any special readings / vows and people who you would like to participate in the ceremony.
Three: Ceremony Order of Service
I will take the “raw material” from our planning and draft a unique Ceremony Order of Service which I will email to you for your feedback. We will “bounce” the Order back and forth until we all feel that we’ve got a tailor-made Ceremony that will best express your meaning in this important moment in your lives.
Four: Certificate
If we will be doing a formal baptism / christening and you would like a certificate then I will need the following information: Your baby / child’s full names and date of birth, the parent’s full names and the godparent’s names.
