Your First Dance as Husband and Wife - Don't Panic!!!!

After officiating, one of my favorite parts of a wedding and reception is when the Bride and Groom make their grand entrance and begins their first dance.  Are you worried about your first dance as husband and wife??? No need to worry!!!  Even if you have never danced together before, you will be able to look like you have been dancing together for years!  So, don't start your marriage off on the wrong foot.  The Wedding Dance is the first activity that you will share as you begin your new life as a married couple.  Now, I know that most of you have busy jobs with long hours, and the thought of heading off to a dance class after a very long day or long work week sounds exhausting.  Here's the solution.

If you would like your first dance and the dances for the rest of your life to be impressive, romantic, and relaxed, then the opportunity is here for you.  You can learn from the privacy of your own home, where you will learn smooth, simple moves that will work with the music you love.


Professionally directed and shot in HD by Oscar nominee Erika Frederick, "Dancing Together" is a 90 minute guided dvd that features 2 sample dances in full wedding attire for the newlyweds to learn.    This is a great opportunity for couples on a limited time and budget to reap the benefits of learning from professionals.


This is a wonderful way to learn and have fun in the privacy of your own home while you perfect the dance that will be seen by all your guests at your reception.  Remember, the more you practice, the better you will be.

I hope you will look into this great opportunity!  Make sure you send me along photos from your wedding of your first dance so that I can feature them here!!!

Bamboo Island Gardens - Unique Wedding Ceremony Locations - A Hidden Oasis




A hidden oasis awaits you! This property showcases 20 different types of species of non-invasive clumping bamboo plants. Last night, I was a guest at a networking meeting that was held at Island Lawn Bamboo Landscapes located at 6540 85th Ave in Pinellas Park, Florida. This was the second time that I have been to this location and I continue to marvel at what a fantastic location this is for a small, intimate wedding ceremony, or other function. Once you step onto the sidewalk that leads to the rear of the building, you will be amazed at the transformation! You will believe you are in a beautiful tropical paradise. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me last night, but I will add some photos. The location can accommodate approximately 100 guests, they have a gorgeous custom designed bamboo arbor, tiki umbrellas, and soothing fountains throughout the gardens.There are two outside restroom facilities, and a music sound system. Inside there is a refrigerator, and microwave, and areas for your caterers to work out of. For an intimate evening event, Kelly and Karlyn, the owners have tiki torch style lighting, and lighting to bring out the beauty of the different types of bamboo they grow. For the event that I attended last night, they had round tables with bamboo style seats, and candles on the tables. It was gorgeous. It is a peaceful and beautiful place. Have a look at their website www.islandlawnservices.com or give Kelly and Karlyn a call for a free complimentary consultation and to check availability. They can be reached at 727-548-0595. This location would provide a truly unique, exquisite, and tranquil location for your ceremony.

Wentworth By The Sea, New Hampshire -Tammy & Ted Congratulations!

The Wentworth By The Sea is a spectacular location for a wedding. The floral gardens, the gazebo overlooking the harbor, and the meticulously manicured grounds, were many of the reasons that Tammy and Ted had selected the Wentworth By The Sea in New Castle for their wedding!
The day of the wedding, the angels were shedding tears of joy as evidenced by the rain that kept falling. The wedding ceremony was moved indoors, and the Wentworth Staff and the Kathy and Vinny owners of Jardiniere Florists worked their magic to transform the indoor location for the splendid wedding event. You can contact Kathy and Vinny at http://www.jardiniereflowers.com/ or call them at 603-427-5560.

Gina Damiano and all of the staff and outside vendors worked together to bring about a beautiful, elegant setting, where Tammy enjoyed her walk down the aisle to meet her handsome groom. The music for the ceremony was provided by Peter Bloom, flutist and Marery Hansen, Harpist. Peter can be contacted at phbloom@comcast.net and Margery can be contacted at 978-282-7425
There were many surprises in store for the guests. Tammy and Ted enjoyed a beautifully choreographed first dance, and enjoyed sharing a special dance with Tammy's grandparents who were celebrating a very special wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them as well!
One of the special elements of the ceremony included a sea glass ritual, and the breaking of a sand dollar. Each guest received their own sand dollar keepsake, inscribed with the names and date of the marriage.
Of course, the day would not have been complete without a visit from a very special guest! Boomer, the couples dog, outfitted with a rhinestone studded tuxedo with collar and leash, made his special appearance on the dancefloor.

The dancefloor was packed! The music selection pleased all ages! Even I managed to get in a dance or two. The DJ kept things moving. Doug Bounds is a professional DJ and Master of Ceremonies and he can be reached at 603.659.6938 or at his email dougbounds@comcast.net

The reception and staff of the Wentworth By The Sea demonstrated once again the elegance, style and professionalism that makes the location a highly sought after one by many couples. Every detail is handled with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend this facility for any couple or special event function. For inquiries, email ino@wentworth.com or review the packaes listed on their website.
Professional photos were taken by Peter Clayman of Images, his website is wwww.nhimages.com and his email is pclayman@nhimages.com The images from Tammy and Ted's wedding will be available online in the next few weeks at http://www.nhimages.com/ He's truly top notch!
Tammy & Ted, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a truly wonderful day, and I wish you unlimited years of happiness and blessings.

Pine Point Beach, Maine - Weddings At The Beach!

Both New England and Florida have magnificent coastlines to take advantage of when you think about a beach location for your wedding. The wedding of Deb and Roger took place in Maine at Pine Point Beach in Scarborough. When planning your beach wedding, I always jokingly suggest to couples that they look at the Farmers Alamanac to see the history of weather for that date they are interested in. Deb and Roger had the dream of getting married on Pine Point Beach, and even tho the sky was cloudy, their hearts were filled with joy!

Rev. Heather Boyd of LovingUnity.com officiated the custom wedding ceremony, as Deb and Roger were united together with their children. Recognizing the significance of the wedding ceremony and the joining of parents is one of the wonderful elements in any wedding. Blended sand is very popular, as well as the giving of gifts, and stating of vows to the children. It is a big day for them too!!!
If you had a beach wedding yourself, tell me about it! If you are looking for a beach location for your wedding, ask me! I'd love to hear all about your ideas about getting married on the beach.
Congratulations Deb and Roger!
Email me or phone me at 727 532-6186 or 207 590-6339 and let me help you find a great location to get married.

Discount for Wedding Ceremonies for Active Military Personnel

Today, being Armed Forces Day, seems like the most appropriate time to talk about the discounts that Loving Unity Wedding Officiants offers for our ACTIVE Military Personnel.

This is our way to say "thank you" to military members for their service. If you are an ACTIVE Military Personnel, make sure you mention it when you contact us at LovingUnity@gmail.com or when you phone us a t 727-532-6186.

We just love military weddings! If you had a military wedding and you would like to send along a jpeg picture for us to post, we would be honored to have it.

The history of Armed Forces Day is that the holiday began in 1949. It celebrates all military branches on a single day. Each branch of the military had its own holiday prior to that. My dad was a Navy Sea Bea and most of my family was in the Coast Guard.

For those of you who are veterans and also active military, Happy Armed Forces Day and Thank You!!!!
