David Gellman Performs First Wedding Ceremony

wedding_picDavid Gellman performed his first wedding since we have become an official denomination with the privilege to marry couples under the jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario. The wedding ceremony of Dulcelina Valente and Jason Verissimo took place at 8:15 pm on November 17, 2008, in the city of Markham.

Some of the wonderful lines at the wedding that brought tears of joy to the bride and family:

A great sage once said: "from every human being, there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven.  And when two souls are destined to find one another, their two streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being." 

Until today, these two have let their lights shine as individuals.  Today they have come to publicly proclaim their love and commitment.  You unite your hearts in tenderness and devotion and thus create the brighter light. 

Marriage is the most intimate of human relationships. It is a sharing of experiences by two people in love.  Love is not a fleeting feeling, but an emotion that grows and endures. Love celebrates sameness, and it transcends differences.  It fosters togetherness and supports individuality.  Love is the power that holds the universe together.

David customizes every wedding, baptism and rite of passage, for any significant event in your life. Think about having your next special turning point blessed and customized to reflect your values, beliefs and feelings; for you and your loved ones to cherish and remember. All events come with the ceremony bound and beautifully printed and decorated. Connect to the power of the universe by having an interfaith minister reside over your next significant event.
