Family Blending: In these times, many couples have children from previous marriages. The family blending ceremony is a wonderful way to include the children & create a new, united family as part of the ceremony.
In addition to the family blending vows, you may also choose to symbolize the new family union with unity candles, a sand ceremony, or family medallions. And it's such fun to include everyone!

"Selena Parrish is a wonderful minister. Her graceful spirit and impeccable attention to detail are a blessing on a day when it is essential for many fine points and diverse personalities to come together.
Selena's open mind and heart welcomed the challenge my family presented on our wedding day. My husband and I each had been married before and desired an intimate ceremony that included my two sons. Selena listened thoughtfully and presented us with vows that articulated our unique situation. Our vows blended and blessed our family in such a sweet way with the proper balance of sincerity and celebration. She even brought bubbles, which were a delightful touch at the end! Selena Parrish has impressed me time and again with her versatility. I’ve recommended her to friends and have seen her officiate several kinds of weddings from large formal church services to casual garden events for all sorts of happy couples treating each with respect and reverence." -- Karen & Dave Singleton, Noah & Chance FitzPatrick, Django the dog, Rogers, AR |

"Let me tell you, if you’re getting married in or near Eureka Springs,, Selena is the person you should look to for marrying you. She is so wonderfully nice and patient. Our wedding party was running just slightly behind and she was so kind about it. She even helped the guys put on their boutonnières! The vows she wrote for us were beautiful and touching. She wrote some to include my 8-year-old daughter in the ceremony which made her cry, resulting in making everyone cry! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help us start this new chapter in our lives.
Selena, we would absolutely love a copy of the vows if possible. Thank you so much for marrying us, you are so lovely." -- Brianne and Dylan Duvall, Springfield, MO |
