Welcoming & Listening Service
The first stage is that of welcoming and getting to know each other, which follows the telling of the love story. The quality of listening skills must be very high in order not to give answers or make pre-packaged proposals, but instead start from the couple’s lived experience and felt desires. The follow are the guiding principles of the service provided:
Respect & Cultural Sensitivity
Giuliano’s approach to this first point is to be totally respectful of your and your families’ cultural, religious and personal traditions. This means being open and inclusive to all different expressions of love, marriage traditions and beliefs, ensuring that the ceremony reflects your authenticity and identity.
Personalisation & Involvement
Giuliano is used to working with you, the bride and groom, to create a ceremony that is meaningful and unique as unique is your love story. This involves special sensitivity and listening skills, carefully accommodating your wishes, offering suggestions and creative ideas, and actively involving you in the ceremony design process.
Emotional Depth & Authenticity
Together your will create an environment of emotional depth and authenticity. During the ceremony, the words and actions you will perform will symbolically convey love, joy and support to you and your guests.
Characteristic Symbolic Rites
There is no such thing as a “perfect” symbolic rite, only one that is accomplished through creative collaboration between the celebrant and the couple. Some of the most common but also very touching and richly symbolic rites include: the Rite of Light; the Rite of Sand; the Rite of Ribbons; the Rite of Ring Heat; and many more.
Hot Tip
“If you can stay close to me and we may be different, if the sun will light both without our shadows overlapping, if we manage to be “we” in the middle of the world and together with the world, cry, laugh, live. If every day we will find out who we are and not the memory of how we were, if we can give each other without knowing who will be the first and who will be the last and your body will sing with mine because together it’s joy … Then it will be love and it wouldn’t have been in vain waiting for you so much.” (Pablo Neruda)
