Many couples today find that some of their deepest moments of spiritual
connection have been outdoors. For some people, the sound of waves,
the sight of a meadow of wildflowers, the smell of ponderosa pine,
or the view from a mountain peak speak an intensely spiritual language
that transcends religious boundaries.
Rabbi Korngold offers a wedding service, which is
laden with spirituality, but is not connected to religion. She blesses
your marriage with metaphors gleaned from nature and fill your ceremony
with the timeless wisdom of the earth.
This
is not a religious wedding ceremony, and to avoid any confusion,
no religious symbols or liturgy from any faith is used.
Many couples who would love to get married on a mountaintop,
choose not to because they do not want to exclude anyone. Rabbi
Korngold often officiates at non-adventure weddings in hotels, lodges,
etc. Frequently the couples ask that since the ceremony cannot be
in the wilderness, the wilderness be brought into the ceremony.
