Unique, Heart Shaped & Wonderful
On October 5th, 2018 "we said I do"... ~ Our officiant Abegael was wonderful in helping to make our wedding day both unique and personal. It was the kind of ceremony that allowed all of our friends and family to share in, by way of some very special moments -- far exceeding our expectations. Abegael ensured that our values were at the forefront from culture and belief to the threads of our family roots. Abegael helped us create a most memorable page within next chapter of our hearts and lives filled with laughter, tears and a whole lot of love. We could not have been blessed with a better person to ceremoniously assist with the tying of our Celtic knot of eternity. Forever grateful for a day... that our friends and family will surely continue to talk about for years to come. Thank you Abegael for everything.
Life Threads Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you, dear Janice and Darryl, for such a rich ceremonial experience! We co-created an extraordinary, magical & mystical wedding, didn't we? So fitting for your amazing love story. And I was deeply moved to be included in both the rehearsal dinner, and the fabulous wedding reception. I loved being with your families, and the Celtic connection was heartwarming. Your sister speaking the Gaelic, your grandmother's special spirit gift in the ringwarming sachet.... (It warmed me Nova Scotian heart entirely so!)
Your marriage is blessed from the Maritime to the Pacific coasts, through generations, across long miles.... Slainte va, darlings.

Abegael was absolutely outstanding! We really wanted a personal and intimate wedding, a ceremony that reflected who we are and our values. Abegael took the time to listen to our story and constructed a wedding ceremony that was heartfelt with threads of humour woven throughout. We felt at ease during the whole process of working together but especially during the ceremony itself. She created order when things had the potential to go sideways right at the start of our day, a true professional who handle a little chaos with such grace. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests, stating that it was the most personal and fun wedding they have attended, and we have Abegael to thank. We are so blessed to have had Abegael guide us through such an important moment in our life, to help us articulate an acient ceremony with some contemporary twists. She allowed us to make it our own and was the most calming presence to have at our side.
Life Threads Ceremonies's reply:
Dear Brigitte and Dave... thank you for inviting me to celebrate the bestest Scottish wedding ever. Never have I seen so much tartan rocked so fetchingly! Never have I waited alone at the front, as first the bride entered, and then the groom rocked in, in kilt and pipers' knee-highs, and high-fived everyone in the room on the way. And never have I used a handfasting cord of double tartan, representing both families, to seal anam cara bonds. Slainte va to your artistry, your shared wildheart and your new life!

TL;DR
Life Threads Ceremonies is extremely highly recommended by us. We have had many people rave about our ceremony and ask us to refer them to Abegael after they experienced our wedding. Life Threads Ceremonies offers a premium service that is worth every dollar. More than that, Abegael is such a wonderful human being and we feel truly blessed for the opportunity to have worked with her in preparing for our wedding.
FULL REVIEW
Our wedding ceremony was perfect. How lucky we were that Abegael chose to work with us to bring our dream ceremony to life!
After our engagement, we knew that the person who would marry us in the most appropriate way would be tough to find. We had numerous cultural, religious, and personal considerations that would make the wedding ceremony quite a toughie.
We researched and interviewed many different wedding commissioners (celebrants, priests, officiants, ministers, justice of the peace, etc.). Among all of the conversations we'd had, Abegael stood out in many ways, but most importantly, as being the most thoughtful and considerate.
We could tell right from the beginning that Abegael had the know-how to weave the intricacies of our wedding. We also found out from our initial conversations that she is selective about who she works with, so we crossed our fingers and hoped there was a match (we had other conversations lined up, but we already felt confident that she would be the one for us). Thankfully, the answer came back a Yes on both sides!
After getting all the agreements in order, it was time to work! Abegael dedicated so much of her time meeting with us to learn about our love story, shared her deep knowledge about celebrations, and we collaborated on putting together a custom ceremony that would bring our story to life. It was a very involved process that took place over several months, but we were so thrilled for it to come together and then for Abegael to add her magical touches to really tie it all together.
Wedding time. Nerves kick in (not really, but really). Ceremony happens. Wow. Perfect. Magical. Did that just happen? So much fun! So much love!
After our wedding, we received so many positive comments from the strictest of people who attended our wedding, and we were also asked by more than a few people to refer us to Abegael because they want their children to be married by her.
I know this is Wedding Wire so the review should probably be limited to this topic, but Life Threads Ceremonies also offers other services for honouring people and places. I have not personally used these services, but if our wedding was any indication, I am confident that Abegael would do just as amazing work in other realms.
One would truly be lucky if Abegael chose to work with you.
Life Threads Ceremonies's reply:
Alexis and Joshua, beloveds, thank you for inviting me along! As I remarked in telling your Love Story in your wedding, I chose you as soon as we met, and hoped you would choose me too. I was smitten with your passionate commitment to enquery in your relationship. The Six Month Conversation, wow. Working with both of you for almost a year to create your ceremony was a celebrant's dream come true .... coming to completion for all of us on that gorgeous , light filled summer's day in the most perfect of BC venues: the Pemberton Valley. May the light and joy of that day forever be yours.

Lovely experience
Abagael helped us plan a very romantic ceremony. I especially like the blessing of our rings and the bells.
Life Threads Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you Donna. I loved the romance of your ceremony too! The Ringwarming was especially lovely as the little silvery sachet holding your rings, and a few crystals, was passed through your guests. Everyone was visibly moved. And nothing quite beats the festive joy of bells and chimes and singing bowls sounding through the air - and all the children loving that. And what a treat it was for me to create a ceremony with you and Dennis, after marrying your cousin a few years back, and then to present the vintage themed wedding of your nephew and new niece the next month. Families that celebrate together - yay! What an honour to be your chosen wedding celebrant!
