Felt the love
Lili made our wedding ceremony magical!
Our friends and family all commented that they thought she was a grandmother, or a long time family friend, because our ceremony felt so personal. Lili was totally a pro - she had the whole process figured out and it made it easy and not stressful for us to walk through the process. She even asked for our preference on what she should wear.
She gave us a ton of material to work from and then we went through an editing process where we picked out pieces from her scripts that we liked to form our final ceremony. This allowed us exactly the right amount of customization and made it so that we were able to "write" what made sense for us without having to write anything from scratch.
We also didn't want to write super long custom vows like we had heard at friends weddings... (the whole here is our entire relationship story etc), so we asked for some partially prewritten vows and customized those and then read them ourselves and it was exactly the right amount of personal that we wanted to share out loud with friends and family. There were plenty of tears shed!
I would 100% recommend working with Lili on your ceremony! She helped us created something so meaningful (and not religious) especially since we didn't have that perfect friend to officiate. Thank you Lili!!
