Guests Wishing/Blessing
Stone Ceremony
This can be a stand-alone
ceremony or have it follow the couples Oath Stone vows
A beautiful way to include your guests in your ceremony.
Blessing
or Wishing Stones are a beautiful way to allow your guests to offer well wishes
and blessings to the couple during the wedding ceremony.
Each guest is given a small stone upon arriving, either personally by a designated attendant,
or by
placing a stone on each guest's chair with instructions.
Placed on
your guests wedding ceremony chairs is a stone - They can hold it and wish for
things like love, happiness, prosperity, strength, family, patience, etc. for
your marriage.
You may also
have the stones in a container or on a table for the guests to select their own
(Officiant)
Now
that the Bride & Groom exchanged their vows you each held a stone in your
hands. I now ask that you take a moment to reflect on all the well wishes, and
happy thoughts you want for the new couple. This energy is thought to then go
into the stone and fill it with love and happiness.
When the guests exit the
seating area they can leave the stones in a basket or decorative vase.
After the wedding, give
these stones a special place in your home to remind you of the vows taken on
your wedding day.
However they are displayed,
they will always be a precious keepsake of a special occasion in your life.
Other Options:
Using stones that have pre-printed
words on them such as; happiness, laughter, joy & Peace.
Asking your guests to write a wish on
the stone with a sharpie pen possibly replacing the guest book.
Choosing
Gem Stones for your guests to hold. Rose Quartz means love, Tigers Eye means
clear thinking, Adventurine means prosperity and there are so many more to add
to the magic of your day.
