Love jewels? What's in your jewelry box? Which are your favorite pieces? Your favorite pieces say something about your personality, ex: how you like to feel, what kind of energy you like to have around you, your sense of style, your language for communicating romance.
Take a few minutes to look at everything in your jewelry box that you love. Which piece is your absolute favorite? If you had to pick just one, which one would it be? What kinds of words or phrases come to mind when you look at this favorite piece? Wild, mystical, sexy, charming, playful, color madness, vintage beauty...? Your description of this piece can be the tone-setter for your wedding ceremony. Is it vintage? Then language of your ceremony should reflect the sound of old-fashioned romance. Is your favorite piece a one-of-a-kind? Then your ceremony should include descriptions of the ways in which your partner thinks YOU are one of a kind. Is the piece you chose a family heirloom? Then your ceremony should include the participation of family or a mention of your family's lineage and favorite traditions -- ones you intend to carry on in your marriage and pass on to your children. Get the picture?
If you want help applying this concept to your own wedding, take a photo of that favorite piece of jewelry and email it to me with a few of your choice descriptive words about it. I'll give you some ideas about how to replicate the feeling of your favorite jewel in your ceremony.
