Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Wedding readings Choosing wedding readings is as personal as you are! I have written a series of blogs to give 10 of each type of reading: traditional, alternative, spiritual, funny etc. They are exactly that: if you put into Google, ‘Wedding Readings’, there are literally thousands and thousands of possibilities. You might want to ask the person you have chosen to read to choose something or indeed to write something. In this blog, I share some of the 2019 choices from wedding ceremonies I conducted.. Choose your guests to read and either choose what they will read or have me liaise with them to surprise you on the day. A Blessing by Anon May your love and deep respect for each other sustain throughout the years to come. May your life together flow with peace and harmony. May your vows be fully realised and may you realise their own true nature together. May you both promise to do what you think to be right; speak what you think to be the truth; help others in what is fair, accept your mistakes without excuses for them. May you both accept full responsibility for your actions and reactions. May sincerity of this resolution give you both strength to fulfil your duties towards yourself and others. Amen. From Captain Correlli’s Mandolin Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Marriage, as most of us understand it, is a voluntary and full commitment of a man to a woman, to each other. It is made in the deepest sense of to, the exclusion of all others and is entered in to with the desire, the hope and the firm intent that it will last forever. A Vow by Wendy Cope I cannot promise never to be angry; I cannot promise always to be kind. You know what you are taking on, my darling – It’s only at the start that love is blind. And yet I’m still the one you want to be with And you’re the one for me – of that I’m sure. You are my closest friend, my favourite person, The lover and the home I’ve waited for. I cannot promise that I will deserve you From this day on. I hope to pass that test. I love you and I want to make you happy. I promise I will do my very best.w. Union by Robert Fulghum You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes, to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making commitments in an informal way. All of those conversations that were held in a car, or over a meal, or during long walks – all those conversations that began with, “When we’re married”, and continued with “I will” and “you will” and “we will” – all those late night talks that included “someday” and “somehow” and “maybe” – and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “You know all those things that we’ve promised, and hoped, and dreamed – well, I meant it all, every word.” Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another – acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, even teacher, for you have learned much from one another these past few years. Shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life, and things between you will never quite be the same. For after today you shall say to the world – This is my husband. This is my wife.. From Beginning to End by Robert Fulghum You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way. All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks—all those sentences that began with “When we’re married” and continued with “I will and you will and we will”—those late night talks that included “someday” and “somehow” and “maybe”—and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “You know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed—well, I meant it all, every word.” Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another—acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, and even teacher, for you have learned much from one another in these last few years. Now you shall say a few words that take you across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between you. For after these vows, you shall say to the world, this—is my husband, this—is my wife. When time is up and the sun it dies Until the rivers flood and the ocean dries Hand in hand under the falling sky I will love you When I’m old so old and I lose my mind I’ll still look at you like it’s the first time So many say it and it’s all a lie But I will love you. You are the reason I make is through the day You gimme the reason to better all my ways The beauty goes, the money spent And everything else fades away You are my constant When we’ve walked the earth every inch and mile Laughed so hard until we cried Through every triumph and every trial I will love you. Today is a day you will always remember The greatest day in anyone’s life You’ll start off the day just two people in love And end it as Husband and Wife It’s a brand new beginning the start of a journey With moments to cherish and treasure And although there’ll be time when you both disagree These will surely be outweighed by pleasure You’ll have heard many words of advice in the past When the secrets of marriage were spoken But you know that the answers lie hidden inside Where the bond of true love lies unbroken So live happy forever as lovers and friends It’s the dawn of a new life for you As you stand there together with love in your eyes From the moment you whisper, ‘I do’ And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real May success find its way to your hearts Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys But today is the day it all starts. Apache Wedding Blessing Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years, may happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth. Treat yourselves and each other with respect and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves. When frustration, difficult and fear assail your relationship – as they threaten all relationships at one time or another – remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives – remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight. Winnie the Pooh by A A Milne “Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered. “Yes, Piglet?” “Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.” “We’ll be Friends Forever, won’t we, Pooh?” asked Piglet. “Even longer,” Pooh answered. “If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together .. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart … I’ll always be with you.” What is Family? A family is …. The sweetest feelings The warmest hugs Trust and togetherness Unconditional love The stories of our lives written on the same page The nicest memories anyone has ever made Treasured photos Thankful tears Hearts overflowing with all the years Being there for one another Supporting and caring Understanding, helping, sharing Walking life’s path together And making the journey more beautiful because … We are a family …. And a family is Love. The one you love by Passenger We’re all looking, That’s what he said For someone to share our thought’s, For someone to share our bed’s But if you find someone That doesn’t try to change you And if you find someone That doesn’t have to blame you And you find someone You don’t need to explain to, You’ve found the one you love We’re all searching, that’s all I know For someone to keep us warm, When the rain soaks through our clothes But if you find a hand to hold When the night comes, To be there when your old And you’re frightened If you find someone That loves you with a love song, You’ve found the one you love Oh, and if you find someone That doesn’t undermine you If you find someone That doesn’t drag behind you If you find someone That loves you just like I do, You’ve found the one you love. Philip Pullman – The Amber Spyglass I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again… I’ll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one will ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight. Time Travelers By: Terah Cox May you take on the world together with all your hopes and dreams May you be each other’s anchor in smooth or rocky seas May you bend to the world’s winds and brave stalls and storms May you find common ground in all its changing forms May you cross stubborn boundaries and turn many a stone May you find haven for your souls May you have heart and home And if some days are grey and some nights are long and cold May you be each other’s sun and moon as your destinies unfold And should you lose sight of each other and start to drift apart May you circle back by following the compass of your heart. A passage from “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho When he looked into her eyes, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke — the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognised the same thing. Because when you know the language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning. Chains by Simone Signoret Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. Picture hundreds, thousands, of threads, as long as love is. For instance, picture kindness – how smoothly it unfurls when people care as much about each other as themselves. Picture gentleness: when times are less than easy a reassuring stream of soothing words. And respect, the essence of being a partner, each one delighting in the other. And look at the joys and trials of being parents, the challenge none of us is prepared for; imagine the tough, flexible fibres that nurturing a child together can create. And see laced around and through and everywhere diamond-twinkling filaments of laughter. These profound, priceless connections start so simply – with a smile, perhaps, or admiring glance. Picture again these hundreds, thousands, of threads as long as love is; longer than life. Today is a strengthening of the strands that xxx and xxxx have spun together and will continue to spin together through the years to follow. Blessing of Hands. These are the hands of your best friend. They are holding yours on this special day as you promise to continue to love each other today, tomorrow and forever. These are the hands that will continue to work alongside yours as together you build your future. These are the hands that will continue to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will always hold you when fear or grief avails you. These are the hands that will nurture your family now and forever. These are the hands that will always give you strength when you need it. May these hands always reach out with love, tenderness and respect. May these hands continue to build a loving relationship that lasts a lifetime. May this Blessing be a beautiful symbol of the union of your two hearts, two lives, and two souls.

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Wedding readings Marriage is not beautiful…Marriage is ugly, you see the absolute worst in someone. You see them when they’re mad, sad, being stubborn, when they’re so unlovable they make you scream. But you also get to see them when they are laughing so hard that tears run down their face, and they can’t help but let out those weird gargling noises. You see them at 3am when the world is asleep except you two, and you’re eating in the middle of the kitchen floor. You get to see the side of them that no one else does, and it’s not always pretty. It’s snorting while laughing, it’s the tears when it feels like it’s all crashing down, it’s the farting, it’s the bedhead and bad breath, it’s the random dances, it’s the anger and the joy. Marriage isn’t a beautiful thing, but it is amazing. It’s knowing that someone loves you so much and won’t leave you even though you said something nasty. It’s having someone have your back no matter what. It’s fights over stupid things, like someone not doing the dishes or picking up after themselves. And it’s those nights you fall asleep in each other’s arms, feeling like there will never be enough time with them. It’s cleaning up their throw up, or just rubbing their back when they’re sick. It’s the dirtiest, hardest, most rewarding job there is. Because at the end of the day you get to crawl into bed with your best friend, the weirdest, most annoying, loving, goofy, perfect person that you know. Marriage is not beautiful, but it’s one hell of a ride. “GIFT FROM THE SEA.”ANNE MORROW LINDBERGH’S When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity – in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern. The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits – islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides. ABOUT LOVE BY NEIL GAIMAN This is everything I have to tell you about love: nothing. This is everything I’ve learned about marriage: nothing. Only that the world out there is complicated, and there are beasts in the night, and delight and pain, and the only thing that makes it okay, sometimes, is to reach out a hand in the darkness and find another hand to squeeze, and not to be alone. It’s not the kisses, or never just the kisses: it’s what they mean. Somebody’s got your back. Somebody knows your worst self and somehow doesn’t want to rescue you or send for the army to rescue them. It’s not two broken halves becoming one. It’s the light from a distant lighthouse bringing you both safely home because home is wherever you are both together. So this is everything I have to tell you about love and marriage: nothing, like a book without pages or a forest without trees. Because there are things you cannot know before you experience them. Because no study can prepare you for the joys or the trials. Because nobody else’s love, nobody else’s marriage, is like yours, and it’s a road you can only learn by walking it, a dance you cannot be taught, a song that did not exist before you began, together, to sing. And because in the darkness you will reach out a hand, not knowing for certain if someone else is even there. And your hands will meet, and then neither of you will ever need to be alone again. And that’s all I know about love. ON MARRIAGE BY KAHLIL GIBRAN You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God [spirit]. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow. I TAKE YOU MY HEART BY UNKNOWN I take you my heart At the rising of the moon And the setting of the stars. To love and to honour Through all that may come. Through all our lives together In all our lives, May we be reborn That we may meet and know And love again, And remember. YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING BY VICTOR HUGO, FROM LES MISERABLES You can give without loving but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be truly alone again. And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves. NOTES TO MYSELF BY HUGH PRATHER I must do these things in order to communicate: Become aware of you (discover you). Make you aware of me (uncover myself). Be ready to change during our conversation and be willing to reveal my changes to you. For communication to have meaning it must have a life. It must transcend ‘you and me’ and become 'us’. If I truly communicate, I see in you a life that is not me and partake of it. And you see and partake of me. In a small way we then grow out of our old selves and become something new. To have this kind of sharing I cannot enter a conversation clutching myself. I must enter it with loose boundaries. I must give myself to the relationship and be willing to be what grows out of it. FROM MAKTUB BY PAULO COELHO In this world there is always one person waiting for another, be it in the middle of a desert or in the middle of a big city. And when those people pass each other and their eyes meet, past and future lose all importance, and the only thing that exists is that moment and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun was written by the same Hand, the Hand that awakens Love, and that makes a twin soul for everyone who works, rests and seeks treasure under the sun. Without this our human dreams would make no sense. A POEM BY RUMI The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere, they're in each other all along.

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Wedding readings When you use an independent Celebrant, we work with you to create something truly unique and special that reflects you as a couple. You may want to include some special readings. Camilla & Gabe were both Pisces and I included quotations from Linda Goodman within their ceremony. Camilla wrote a lexigraph poem based on the letters of their names and her sister read it. The possibilities are endless and something we can discuss when we speak. Here are ten suggestions to give you a flavour: "SONG OF SONGS” I am my Beloved’s And he is mine. Come my beloved, Let us go forth into the field; And lodge in the villages. Let us go up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded, Whether the grape has opened, And the pomegranates are in bloom; There will I give thee my love. The mandrakes give forth fragrance, And at the door are all manner of precious fruits, new and old Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. —Anonymous The Buddha spoke about four elements that constitute true love: the capacity to be kind and offer happiness, maitri in Sanskrit, compassion, the capacity to relieve suffering, karuna; the capacity to bring joy every day, mudita; and finally, the capacity of nondiscrimination, upeksha. When there is true love, there is nondiscrimination. The pain of the other is our own pain; the happiness of the other is our own happiness…To make our love meaningful, we need to nourish our bodhicitta, our mind of boundless love and compassion…First, we learn to love one person with all our understanding and insight; then we expand that love to embrace another person, and another, until our love is truly boundless. —THICH NHAT HANH May your love be firm, and may your dream of life together be a river between two shores—by day bathed in sunlight, and by night illuminated from within. May the heron carry news of you to the heavens, and the salmon bring the sea’s blue grace. May your twin thoughts spiral upward like leafy vines, like fiddle strings in the wind, and be as noble as the Douglas fir. May you never find yourselves back to back without love pulling you around into each other’s arms —JAMES BERTOLINO They say they will love, comfort, honor each other to the end of their days. They say they will cherish each other and be faithful to each other always. They say they will do these things not just when they feel like it, but even—for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health—when they don’t feel like it at all. In other words, the vows they make could hardly be more extravagant. They give away their freedom. They take on themselves each other’s burdens. They bind their lives together… The question is, what do they get in return? They get each other in return… There will always be the other to talk to, to listen to… There is still someone to get through the night with, to wake into the new day beside. If they have children, they can give them, as well as each other, roots and wings. If they don’t have children, they each become the other’s child. They both still have their lives apart as well as a life together. They both still have their separate ways to find. But a marriage made in heaven is one where a man and a woman become more richly themselves together than the chances are either of them could ever have managed to become alone. —FREDERICK BUECHNER Rising Sun! when you shall shine, Make this house happy, Beautify it with your beams; Make this house happy, God of Dawn! your white blessings spread; Make this house happy. Guard the doorway from all evil; Make this house happy. White corn! Abide herein; Make this house happy. Soft wealth! May this hut cover much; Make this house happy. Heavy Rain! Your virtues send; Make this house happy. Corn Pollen! Bestow content; Make this house happy. May peace around this family dwell; Make this house happy. SHOSHONE LOVE POEM Please protect the ones we love. We honour all you created as we pledge our hearts and lives together. We honour mother earth—and ask for our marriage to be abundant and grown stronger through the seasons; We honour fire—and ask that our union be warm and glowing with love in our hearts; We honour wind—and ask that we sail through life safe and calm as in our father’s arms; We honour water—to clean and soothe our relationship, that it may never thirst for love; With all the forces of the universe you created, we pray for harmony and true happiness as we forever grow young together. RUMI: THE BOOK OF LOVE May these vows and this marriage be blessed. May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah. May this marriage offer fruit and shade, like the date palm. May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day a paradise. May this marriage be a sign of compassion, a seal of happiness here and hereafter. May this marriage have a fair face and a good name, an omen as welcome as the moon in a clear blue sky. I am out of words to describe how spirit mingles in this marriage.” —Rumi The highest expression of Divine Design is applied love found in loving relationships between people. Not the erotic love we see on television and in the movies but love rooted in a decision to serve. It is a dynamic state of consciousness, a giving, creative flow, and a harmony. It’s an acceptance of the human condition as perfectly imperfect. And it is a choice to love without regard to any conditions; no ‘ifs’ are allowed in this, the greatest of laws.” —GREG ANDERSON There is a desire within each of us, in the deep centre of ourselves that we call our heart. We were born with it, it is never completely satisfied, and it never dies. We are often unaware of it, but it is always awake. It is the human desire for love. Every person in this earth yearns to love, to be loved, to know love. Our true identity, our reason for being, is to be found in this desire…” “..Love is the ‘why’ of life: why we are functioning at all, what we want to be efficient for… I am convinced [love] is the fundamental energy of the human spirit, the fuel on which we run, the wellspring of our vitality. And grace, which is the flowing, creative activity of love itself, is what makes all goodness possible. Love should come first; it should be the beginning of and the reason for everything. —GERALD MAY Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no loneliness for you, now there is no more loneliness. Now you are two bodies, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, and enter in your days together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth.” BROKEN ARROW

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Trusted wedding suppliers Can you please introduce yourself? My name is Suzanne Egan but I’m better known to my friends and couples as Sue! I am a wedding planner from Dublin, Ireland and I plan weddings in Ireland and in Spain. I work between Marbella, Malaga and Nerja where there are so many stunning venues to choose from. My business name is Special Days by Sue. Please give me a couple of sentences about your business/services. I plan bespoke weddings for my couples. These are weddings that truly represent each couple and bring the vision for their dream day to life. If the couple live in Ireland, I will come and meet them many times throughout the planning process. This helps couples in that they don’t need to travel to Spain to choose where they will have their big day. The couples only need travel over once before their wedding to visit their venue and do their trials. Everything else can be planned from the comfort of their own home. I give couples a large selection of beautiful venues to choose from in Marbella, Malaga and Nerja. How long have you been operating and what inspired you to start? As the expression goes “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life” what is there not to love about a wedding! I have always loved weddings. As a young child I couldn’t pass a wedding without asking my parents to stop the car to let me watch. Before wedding planning I worked in the cosmetic industry for many years and I developed many important skills during that time which has helped in my success as a planner. I love working with people and there is so much satisfaction helping couples plan their special day. I started planning weddings in Ireland first and then quickly expanded into Spain due to my extensive knowledge for certain parts of the Costa del Sol. This has been a massive success as couples love getting married abroad and especially in the sunshine. Can you outline one or two of your highlights from your 2019 wedding season? It is so difficult to choose a highlight as every time I see my couples walking down the aisle as Mr & Mrs it gives me a great feeling of pride and makes me feel so happy and honoured to be part of another special day. There have been so many incredible moments from the 2019 season. I’ve loved listening to couples saying their vows at their ceremony; it always brings a smile, and sometimes a tear! I’ve also really loved getting to plan a first looks for four couples. They were magical moments full of emotion. I can’t wait for the next wedding season! What is your unique selling point? What sets you apart from other similar suppliers in the area? I offer a unique and personalised service; my weddings are very bespoke and I have lots of options for the couples to choose from. I come and visit all of my couples where it is possible or do many video calls if they are not living in Ireland. Include family and friends, celebrate your family traditions or create new ones. What is your ‘Funniest Wedding Moment’? There is always quite a few to choose from, but I got the best laugh when a bride to be had been searching for a particular style of shoes she wanted for her wedding day. She was disappointed she couldn’t get them. However, a few days before her wedding we met up and I was wearing the shoes she had been looking for. It was my first time to wear them. I took them off there and then and gave them to her and I wore her flip flops. We had a good giggle about that one What would be your top tips for brides getting married here in Spain?

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin - Trusted Wedding Suppliers Can you please introduce yourself? Oliver & Racheal spend their lives capturing and immortalising other people’s memories, they remember not to neglect to make our own. So after 15 years of running their International business successfully from London they moved to Marbella 3 years ago and have never looked back! They live in the beautiful Andalusian mountains with their gorgeous doggies who are also loving their new life in the sunshine. Please give me a couple of sentences about your business/services. At present we are a husband and wife photographic duo who offer an array of photography services but specialise in weddings, we will also soon be adding a videography option to our packages which we are very excited about, we love to keep inspired & are always looking to expand with our services, products and equipment. How long have you been operating and what inspired you to start? We opened our photographic studio in the UK in 2004 working mainly inside the studio But after 5 years we felt we wanted to explore more variety with our photography so in 2010 we launched Balance Photography Weddings. Racheal’s brother has been a wedding photographer for many years and at first, we shadowed him on a few weddings to experience the reality of being a wedding photographer. We loved every second! It is so exciting seeing all the different locations, meeting new people. Its not something that everyone can do as it also requires the ability to be creative under pressure, be organised, experienced and patient. for us that is all part of the fun, we love seeing the story unfold through our photos and the reactions from our couples when we deliver them. Can you outline one or two of your highlights from your 2019 wedding season? In May last year, we were flown to Italy to capture the celebrations of Francis & Nicky who had booked us based on a recommendation 2 years prior. In February before their wedding day, Francis had a fall and ended up badly breaking his leg. Nikki phoned us to let us know that he will be in a wheelchair for the wedding, they were devastated. But as if by a miracle a few weeks before their wedding he managed to walk! He was on crutches but the fact he was able to stand whilst he took his vows was an emotional moment to witness! He even managed to stand without the crutches for the couple photos too. Francis & Nikki are the most wonderful and positive people and to see their happiness after months of worrying was so special. What is your unique selling point? What sets you apart from other similar suppliers in the area? Couples often love that we are a husband and wife creative team, Oliver is now going to be launching the videography side of the business which means we will be offering packages were we work together to document the story through both video and photos.

What is your ‘Funniest Wedding Moment’? Last year one of our couples chose their beautiful dog Ozzie to be the ring bearer, Ozzie was a huge part of their day but due to the venue regulations was not allowed to the evening reception so after the ceremony he retired to the honeymoon suite. During the bands first set our bride Clair was dancing when suddenly Ozzie came out of no where and jumped up to dance with her! He had gat crashed the party!! Then ran off and grabbed a slice of cheese from their Cheese wedding cake. He refused to leave and everyone was in fits of laughter while he was chased around and round the dance floor having the time of his life!

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Real Life Wedding Ceremonies I I first met Cami & Gabe when they contacted me approximately 10 weeks before the wedding, a relatively short amount of time in advance. They knew exactly what style they wanted and our first meeting, in the mountain village of Competa, was over 3 hours long. We just hit it off – always a great sign especially when the wedding isn’t very far away! The drive up to Competa is a hairy one with kilometre after kilometre of mountain road – quite a lot of it without barriers, but I am used to it (or certainly more so than I ever have been before!). Gabe & Camilla met on the 333 Bus near Bondi Beach in Sydney. It was love at first sight. Camilla was newly arrived in Oz and Gabe, never normally a bus user, was just a few days back from a trip to Chile. This link to their lucky, magic number 3 reoccurs throughout their connection. They both share the Life Path number of 5; they are adventurers, twin flames; free spirits who seek adventure, freedom and variety from life. They share a passion for travel and exploration. Their lives are a voyage with total freedom prevailing their lives. Having Spanish heritage; Gabe’s grandmother was born in Malaga, and Camilla having English heritage, their base for European exploration – in Spain – was the perfect place to bring the family together for their wedding ceremony. Their guests were far flung and came from all corners of the globe including: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, England, Wales, Chile and New Caledonia. As free spirits and having a passion for astrology and numerology, this was a fabulous place to start. The link to the ocean was key and inspired me to sit on the beach to write their blessings and ceremony. We had several lovely long meetings in the lead up to the wedding and Cami had written a beautiful lexigram poem made entirely from the letters of she and Gabe’s names which her sister, one of her bridesmaids, read. I took inspiration for writing the ceremony from the wise words of Linda Goodman about their shared star sign of Pisces and also lots of research into their Life Path & Magic numbers. The ceremony was scheduled to take place at the stunning La Restinga Beach close to the Torrox, Nerja border. They have their own private beach and it really is the most fabulous beach side location. Normally our wonderful climate of 320 days of sun per annum is the best climate in Europe. Well, Mother Nature, had another plan and, for the first time in over 4 months, torrential rain and thunderstorms were the order of the day. A weather phenomenon know as ‘Gota Fria’ where the sea and land temperatures conflict. Thee restaurant staff were amazing in putting Plan B into operation. The restaurant was transformed into a ceremony space with windows open to the sound of the ocean. Nothing dampened the spirits of the couple, though and they took it all in their stride. The wedding ceremony itself was full of love, passion and completely reflected them as a couple. Camilla & Gabe had both written beautiful personal vows which neither had seen before the day itself. The guests were full of praise and commented how personal and perfect it was. Camilla & Gabe said: Nikki is such a beautiful, caring and personal celebrant, we could not imagine sharing and being guided on our Wedding Day by anybody else! Nikki truly is the perfect celebrant, her guidance and help was invaluable, she clearly loves what she does, and this is expressed in her genuine work which is FULL of love. The time she spent making sure our ceremony was personalised and detailed to completely suit us, is incredible. Her work is beautiful and heartfelt, and we could feel that every word had been dedicated personally to US. Thank you, Nikki, for the Magic you added our day xx Location: La Restinga Beach, Torrox Flowers: Bouquets, Torrox Celebrant: Nikki Kulin

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Real Life Wedding Ceremonies Gorgeous Irish couple, Lisa and Jonathon, are based in Estepona and we first met at an outdoor shopping mall in Malaga. It became clear, from the outset that their Irish roots, Lisa’s amazing creativity and their rescue dog, Ella, all needed to play a significant role in their ceremony. Although they don’t live that far away from the venue, super lively Ella would be on her doggy holidays so Lisa had a printed cardboard cut out which took pride of place at the front of the ceremony space. Lisa and Jonathon chose the beautiful Casa de los Bates hotel, just 20 minutes east of Nerja by car, is a unique venue which offers a wonderful 19th century manor house built in the Italian style. Set within abundant tropical gardens, it has a vast array of foundations, waterfalls, 100 year old palm trees and the gardens themselves have been deemed of artistic interest. The gardens are just stunning – an abundance of tropical plants. As it has no close neighbours, it is the perfect place for a wonderful night time party! One of the features which always stands out to me is the incredible staircase leading from the ceremony space up to the main house which, when beset with red carpet, could well be a Hollywood film set. Such a photogenic space! Boho Irish wedding in Spain The fabulous stairs at Casa de los Bates – you could be in Hollywood for your bespoke wedding ceremony. Lisa, as a wonderfully creative fashion and print designer, had definite plans for her decorations. She runs www.instagram.com/boholovebouquets – a boho bridal bouquet service and she made all the floral and table decorations for the day. She looked absolutely stunning in her Rue de la Seine Dress purchased on a trip back to her native Newry in Ireland. The flower bouquet hoops and Lisa’s flower crown were just fabulous! Lisa made all her floral decorations - Bespoke wedding ceremony Lisa also made all of the dream catchers, wedding favours, fans and place names. I absolutely love it when I have to learn a bit of my couple’s native tongue and I can tell you that Irish is, quite definitely, one of the hardest to master! It was just one short phrase but it took a lot of practice for me to get my tongue around with the help of my wonderful Irish friends! Lisa walked up the aisle accompanied by her mother and was preceded by her 6 bridesmaids. Writing Lisa and Jonathon’s love story was a sheer delight. Their journey took them from meeting in Tipperary, to a proposal at the bride’s late father’s special place in Enniskerry, to living today in Southern Spain. As I mentioned before, rescue dog Ella, who has her own Instagram page and website, aptly named www.everyonelovesella.com, where Lisa designs and sells doggy fashions and interiors, had a huge part to play. With the cardboard cut-out of Ella taking pride of place in the ceremony space, we had decided on using the fabulous ‘Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog’ by Tailor Mali which was read by one of their guests. I also used inspiration from the film, Love Actually, and also a quote from Bridget Jones as Jonathon refers to Lisa as his very own Bridget! I also took lyrics from one of the couple’s favourite bands, The Cranberries – and their song ‘Dreams’ was played after the couple shared their personal vows. Beautiful gardens and backdrop – a stunning location for your wedding ceremony in southern Spain Their personal vows and promises, shared for the first time on the day itself, included Jonathon promising to love Lisa even if she tie-die’s everything in the house or turns into Barbara Streisand in ‘Meet the Fockers’! Lisa also included a promise to try not to bring the whole beach back with her after a walk knowing how much Jonathon loves sand, not! The couple finished their ceremony with a personal sand unity ceremony, in colours chosen to match their theme and to represent their unity and commitment on their special day. Sand Unity Ceremony in the wedding theme colours With Irish blessings, I was delighted to invite Jonathon to kiss his bride and the couple enjoyed an incredible party with their family and friends. I was absolutely delighted to be part of Lisa & Jonathon’s special day and that we are in regular contact since. There was only one problem, choosing images from the incredibly photogenic proceedings and the wonderfully talented www.thelovehunters.com Boho Irish Wedding in Spain Lisa said: Lisa said: ‘Nikki was a dream to work with and the ceremony was beautiful from beginning to end. It was very special, intimate and fun. Nikki was amazing from the first time we met her. She got to know us so well and that was totally accepted in our beautiful ceremony. A fabulous ceremony and a fabulous Celebrant’.

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Real Life Wedding Ceremonies I first met Kate and Kirstine during their wedding planning visit to Nerja back in October 2017, just over 18 months before their wedding ceremony. From the outset, they told me of their idea to use a colour theme of lilac, in remembrance of Kirstine’s beloved Mother, Wendy, who had passed away, and their ceremony to take place in her special place of Nerja where many fond memories were held. A beautiful bespoke wedding ceremony with a purple theme Bespoke wedding ceremony Spain Both gorgeous brides were walked down the aisle individually by their fathers, onto the stunning terrace and backdrop overlooking the Mediterranean sea and the iconic Balcon de Europa in Nerja. Kate and Kirstine had opted to have a heart shaped piece of Wendy’s wedding dress inside their dresses and a special memory table next to the ceremony area. There was also a special message from sister in law, Katrina, on behalf of the family in Australia who couldn’t be with them that day. Their beautiful love story, from meeting on adjoining sunbeds in Sharm-el-Sheikh, to their friendship blossoming into love, Kate and Kirstine soon became inseparable. A year after they met, they went on a short break to Beadnall in Northumbria and Kirstine had planned to propose during a romantic evening walk. She had packed a rucksack with champagne, candles and a Chinese lantern with their names and the date they met written on it to symbolise their love. It was, during that lovely moonlit September evening, that Kirstine proposed with the ring sparkling in the moonlight and Kate accepted. Wedding in Nerja After exchanging traditional promises, their ring bearers, Finn & Lewis, had the important job of bringing the rings for Kate and Kirstine to exchange. Include a handfasting in your wedding ceremony Many ideas had been considered by the couple and they decided to incorporate a Handfasting Ceremony within the ceremony, symbolic of the bond which they share and the tie of commitment which they made to one another. These two gorgeous brides shared special moments. This fastening of hands is steeped in tradition and magical meaning and is in fact where the saying ‘tying the knot’ originates from. It was also perfect to include Kirstine’s daughter, Natalie as well as special guests.Wendy’s best friend, Jackie, was unaware that she would be invited to place the lilac ribbon in remembrance and was delighted to do so Kate & Kirstine said: Kate & I had our first meeting with Nikki back in Oct 2017. We immediately loved her warm nature & enthusiasm. Nikki showed a genuine interest in our love story, our wedding plans & of course our ceremony. Nikki was able to give us many different examples of the types of ceremony and how we could include a tribute to my Mum who had suddenly passed away early that year. After we returned to the UK, Nikki was often in touch sending different ideas and suggestions for us to consider. We met up with Nikki again a year later and had another great meeting. Nikki always made us feel like we were the only couple in the world planning a wedding, she made us feel happy, excited and confident that the ceremony would be perfect. Kate and I travelled to Nerja a week before our wedding. Nikki was in touch checking if we needed anything & checking we were OK. On Saturday 25th May 2019, we celebrated our wedding at Cochran’s terrace. The wedding was a lilac theme, as it was my Mum’s favourite colour, and Nikki also went to the effort to wear a lilac dress and looked beautiful. After the ceremony, all the guests commented how perfect it had been and how fantastic Nikki was. She also mentioned that my Mum would have been there if Heaven wasn’t so far away, which meant a lot. We had a handfasting ceremony and had lost the ribbons somehow on the day. Nikki met us for a coffee a few days later and redid the ribbons for us again which meant the world to us and we will keep forever. We would highly recommend Nikki to anyone planning to get married, she is warm, calm and caring. Thank you so, so much Nikki!

Ceremonies by Nikki Kulin, Costa Celebrant - Real Life Wedding Ceremonies Mary & Mike’s story began 4 years ago. Mary had recently lost of partner and was heading to Spain for the winter. After trawling the internet to find lady friends but having found none, she decided to look for men for friendship and came across Mike’s profile. This said that he liked chocolate; one of her favourite things so she sent him a message telling him that she was new to the area and was just looking for friendship as his profile stated that he was looking for a relationship. They kept in touch by text and finally met up. Mike, planning to retire to Spain, had been persuaded by Mary to check out her area and, as he had never visited the area before, he arranged to meet up with Spanish friends at the same time. Determination and grit were very much the order of the day as Mike got lost on route, and then his car broke down! He finally arrived 5 hours late. He vividly recalls turning around as she came up from behind and thinking ‘wow’. After a few meetings: meals, coffees etc, there didn’t seem to be any chemistry. They both went their separate ways, back to the UK. There was obviously a little spark there though because Mary decided to call Mike a few months later to wish him Happy Birthday. This was the beginning of their love story.Hayley & Dan met at University through mutual friends and have lots of shared travel adventures which was a fantastic theme to include in their love story. Hayley’s love of the country music scene was the basis of many references throughout the ceremony from her love of the TV show, Nashville, to their proposal story which took place in … Nashville! Handwritten ceremonies to celebrate your love story. Towards the end of May, they made a plan – Mike would visit Mary for a coffee. There was just one little detail – Mike lived 150 miles away – ever such a long way to go for a coffee! Mike therefore decided to make it into a 3-day break. He arrived bearing gifts: beautiful red roses and gave her a Spanish kiss. Mary was smitten. They walked to town and Mary took his hand. Mike tells me that she hasn’t ever let it go since! Just 3 days later, Mike proposed to Mary down on one of his bad knees and later wrote it in rose petals on her bed! The rest is history! This was the perfect starting point for my writing as roses had played such an important part in their relationship. There were a number of important people who could not be with the couple on the day. Having asked for contact details, I made arrangements to speak to them and, rather than just sending greetings and words to use during the ceremony, I persuaded them to record video and audio messages adding a really special touch to the proceedings. After the couple exchanged very personal vows, I conducted a rose exchange ceremony. In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing, it meant the words, ‘I love you’. As their first gift as husband and wife, they exchanged single roses. It is a reminder of the most valuable and precious gifts of life the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage. Torre del Mar I included a number of very personal blessings, written with the sea in mind and written specifically for the couple themselves. A number of significant friends played roles too. There were special heartfelt readings from friends and, as the Danish usually think that readings are cheesy, Danish friend Asger added something different! Speaking from the heart about how truly inclusive the couple are, he then played the music, ‘You are my sunshine’, for them to dance to. This was followed by a traditional Spanish ‘Las Arras’ ceremony to add a cultural twist by Mavy. ‘Las Arras’ is the traditional exchange of 13 coins between the couple to bring good luck along their journey. The setting was the stunning terrace at Matices Cultural Centre in Torre del Mar, Andalucia. Run by Nena Argent, it provided the perfect space for the couple and their guests with a backdrop to the sea. Guests were then able to mingle between the upstairs and downstairs spaces. Mary & Mike said: WOW, WOW AND WOW, We were blown away as this was our first experience of a ceremony like this that included so many of our family and friends in such a very special, personal and emotional way with individual readings. Nikki had brought and told our love story together in the most perfect way with a little of our humour thrown in for good measure. Whenever we asked a question, she would raise her hand and say already sorted, customer service at its very best. All our guests were captivated with the ceremony, we were truly blessed on that, our very special day, Nikki thank you, mil gracias.
