Its become more and more common to have a friend or family member preside over wedding ceremonies over the last few years so I thought it would be great to have an episode talking through the pros and cons of having a traditional spiritual leader (pastor, priest, rabbi, etc), judge, notary, friend or family member. Its a personal decision and a big decision.
During this chat Cinnamon and I chat about experiences we've had at our hundreds of weddings and lay out all the things that you should consider. Most importantly we discuss putting the type of ceremony you want to have ahead of deciding who should deliver it. I think one of the best things that came from this episode though is that you'll leave knowing that there are options and that traditional doesn't fit the bill for everyone and perhaps you'll be excited about the new ideas we present.
Cinnamon is a wedding filmmaker in Southwest Florida. She believes that each couple she gets to work with is totally unique and she is passionate about creating one-of-a-kind films that tell these couples' one-of-a-kind stories. This year (2020) Cinnamon celebrated her five year wedding anniversary with her husband, Mike, who works alongside her on wedding days. In their free time Mike and Cinnamon enjoy traveling to new places, eating great food, and relaxing at home with their two doggos.
