The
Power of Metaphor
By Interfaith
Rabbi,Barry Tuchman
Capturing
metaphors for the elements in your wedding, is the key to creating
a compelling ceremony that all will remember forever. Don’t
assume that your officiant will come up with them. But, it is
easy to begin a dialogue now with your partner in terms of the
elements you are aware will be included in your ceremony.
Make it a game of writing down whose ideas or contributions
to the ceremony. By the time you meet with the officiant, you
will have plenty of personal information that the clergy can
incorporate into his dialogue. Perhaps only a percentage of
your ideas will be used, but you will have breathed your life
into the most important moment for the two of you.
