Hi Marlee,
Thank you for a beautiful Naming Ceremony for our children on Sunday 11 th November 2007. It truly was a magical experience, almost dream like. When I was planning this ceremony a lot of people queried why I was doing this, I explained to them then that the ceremony is actually a way of introducing the Guardians of a child, to explain the meaning of the names and why that name was chosen and that I personally wanted both of my children to be named on the same day as a bonding for them.
Because some many people queried me, I started to question the importance of the ceremony for us and why we felt we should be doing this. Our original supporting beliefs were cemented when the ceremony started. This was truly a moving experience. I believe you moved many people that day with the beauty of the ceremony and the words you spoke. I know the grandparents and the great grandparent loved the certificates you presented them with. I remember looking around during the service and noticed many misty eyes. After the ceremony was complete many of the people who were not sure about the meaning of the day originally, told me how much they enjoyed it and you could see the glint in their eyes as though they had been touched by something that only a truly inspiring moment leaves you with.
Once again, we thank you…. Sue and John
