Ceremony Jenga

Hello!

If you’ve found this page, it’s likely that you saw me at a wedding fair, in which case, hello again! It’s lovely to have you here. At my wedding fair stall, I have an activity called Ceremony Jenga, where you can pull out wooden blocks to learn about various symbolic elements, come up with creative ideas, explore topics, themes and values that are important to you and discover important facts about independent celebrant-led weddings.

This webpage contains an accessible format of the content in this game. If you’re visually impaired and use braille, the ideas listed here are numbered the same as the braille stickers on the blocks in the game.

If you’d like to discuss any of the symbolic elements or information further, please feel welcome to contact me. Thanks for stopping by and congratulations on your exciting new chapter!

With love and in joyful celebration of all that you are,

Aliya

1. Handfasting

Tie the knot – literally! You can use sentimental fabrics and colours to create your handfasting ribbons or cord, and have loved ones involved in bringing you together to create a powerful symbol of your union!

2. Ring warming

Your rings are passed from guest to guest, until they reach you, having been warmed by everyone’s love, kind thoughts, good wishes and blessings for your new chapter together. A gorgeous way to bring your guests into your ceremony.

3. Ring bearer lottery

Hide your wedding rings or a raffle ticket under a guest’s chair. The guest with the ring box or who has the winning raffle ticket you pull out is your surprise ring bearer! Take the pressure off choosing someone for this role, and revel in the element of surprise! This makes for fab entertainment and some cracking photos!

4. Cocktail/mocktail/milkshake blending

Whip up a concoction to toast this new chapter in your life – the ingredients can represent different things you love about each other, or be connected to special memories. Pre-mix a batch to pop into tiny bottles for your guests to toast you into your new chapter at the end of your ceremony, or make it during the ceremony for raising a glass to you later in the day!

5. Gone but never forgotten

The pain of losing a loved one can weigh particularly heavily on big days. Your celebrant can work with you to find meaningful ways to keep them close during your ceremony. From memory tables, to reading letters, to weaving sentimental tokens into symbolic elements, there are infinite ways to honour everyone who matters to you. Sending love to you. Let’s talk.

6. Time capsule

Hold this moment in time forever with a gorgeous time capsule created during your ceremony! Your guests can all contribute – sharing what’s happening for them during this moment, how they feel, the things they love about you and your partner. Bury in your garden or hide it away in the attic and then set a calendar reminder for 5 years time – you’ll be amazed at all you’ve achieved and how much you’ve grown together!

7. Tree planting

Let the memory of your ceremony live on year after year by planting a tree together during your ceremony! Watch your plant grow and weather the seasons as your love does, through the gentle nurturing and kindness.

8. A mindful moment

So many people describe their wedding day as a whirlwind. What if we could pause for a minute, for you to really soak it all in? A brief and joyous moment of mindfulness can help you and your guests to stay in the present and really enjoy and celebrate the here and now – a real gift for everyone.

9. Pet particiption

Got a beloved pet you’d like to be part of your ceremony? A doggo who’d gladly be your ring bearer, or a bearded dragon who lives on your shoulder that would look cracking in a top hat? All pets are welcome and celebrated at my ceremonies! If your pet can’t be present at the ceremony, there are also plenty of ways we can celebrate and include them in your ceremony from incorporating them into a symbolic element or reading, to including anecdotes involving them when sharing your love story, to leaving paw prints for a ceremony certificate and more.

10. Religious or non-religious?

I celebrate people of all faiths and none, and couples who have differing beliefs! Whether you want to include religion or not, it’s your day, and there are lots of ways we can celebrate your beliefs in meaningful ways during your ceremony!

11. Pre-ceremony selfies

Let your guests share their excitement with you by taking some pre-ceremony selfies! Such a joy to receive and look through after your big day, and a great way of getting folk to check their phones are on silent before putting them away and letting your professional photographer get their best ceremony shots!

12. Avoid cultural appropriation

If you’re planning to include cultural elements in your wedding that aren’t part of your identity, make sure you research thoroughly to be truly respectful in how you incorporate them. Get yourself suppliers who are culturally competent and practice cultural humility! I’ve written a blog post that talks more about this, and you can read it here.

13. Sharing your love story

With celebrant ceremonies there are endless ways to make your ceremony feel truly like it’s about you – sharing your love story can showcase the journey that’s brought you to this moment: the highs and lows, the laughter and tears. It’s a great way of drawing everyone in, getting to know you better and celebrating you all the more.

14. Any location

Celebrant ceremonies can happen anywhere (with the owner’s permission)! Your venue doesn’t have to be licensed, which can help you save loads of money. That means from back gardens to beaches, in the sea or up in the sky, there’s really no limit to the places you can go to celebrate your love.

15. Legally bond?

Independent celebrants like me don’t do legal registrations of marriage. Instead, our ceremonies are entirely bespoke! Your investment in us is mirrored in our time and craft, as we get to know you and the people who matter to you to create a truly personal ceremony you’ll remember forever. Grab a 2+2 ceremony at your local registry office (between £60-£80 usually) in advance, choose a celebrant you adore, and let your wedding day ceremony help to give everyone a day to remember fondly forever.

16. Gender-inclusive ceremonies

Being respected for who you are isn’t a given in legal ceremonies. Focus on legal documentation including your birth certificate, legal names and gender recognition certificates (which can be arduous to obtain), can often lead to people being misgendered, deadnamed and disrespected. Get yourself a celebrant who will always respect who you are, create you a ceremony free from stereotypes, and avoid expressions to your guests like “ladies and gentlemen”… *vomits*. A great spot for gender-inclusive wedding suppliers is Rebel Love Directory!

17. Music

From floaty entrances to flash mobs, from guest karaoke to Rick Rolling your way out of your ceremony (yes, one of my couples did this and completely rocked it!), music can be such a powerful way to showcase who you are and how you view your relationship, and it really sets the tone for your ceremony and what comes next. What music will you choose for your ceremony?

18. Are you a foodie?

If food is your love language, you can totally bring it into your ceremony!

An incredible Yorùbá ritual is Tasting the Four Elements, where the sweet, bitter, sour and spicy aspects of love are all honoured through the tasting of different ingredients. Why not respectfully incorporate this and add a unique personal twist by using ingredients that have sentimental meaning to you?

19. The element of surprise

How do you feel about surprises? The nice kind, I promise! Whether it’s keeping your promises to each other a secret, or being open to something joyously unexpected co-created with the people who love you, a surprise element can really make your ceremony special. As your celebrant, I’ll always respect your preferences and listen to the people who know and love you best.

20. Sand ceremony

A gorgeous physical representation of coming together, sand ceremonies are fab symbolic elements for blending families, and for making everyone involved feel seen and included! Representing unity, each person pours a different colour of sand into one vessel. Layered together, they are now part of something bigger, and forever connected.

21. Unity Candle

Celebrating the union of your love, each of you lights your own candle, using the flames to light a third candle in the middle – the unity candle! Fire represents so many things from determination and strength to warmth and hope, or passion and desire. Let the flame of your love shine bright for all to see with a unity candle ceremony!

22. Top tips for vow writing

Writing your own vows or promises might sound daunting but it doesn’t have to be at all!
Here are 3 simple steps:
1) What does this moment mean to you?
2) 3-5 promises you want to make to your partner for the future.
3) Closing words – these can be simple as: “I love you!”

You don’t have to do this alone! As your celebrant, I’m here to help you navigate them, whether you want something lighthearted or humorous, or you’re trying to articulate your deep and meaningful thoughts. Your guests can also participate in the vows!

23. Your day your way

The most important thing you can do for your wedding is make sure you’re staying true to who you are. As a recovering people pleaser myself, I love helping my couples to make sure their ceremonies reflect who they are and encapsulate what they want! You chose your partner because you love them for all that they are. Why should your ceremony be any different?

24. Hobbies and happy places

Did you bond over a love of Taskmaster or meet at a comic convention? Did you fall in love with the same bands or like to knit together while watching Bake Off? Lift that love into your ceremony! From boardgames to baking, to fun team tasks involving your guests, an independent celebrant ceremony can bring levity and laughter and bring out the true you.

This week Im prepping for two gorgeous wedding fairs in a row!

If I dont get to jump with joy hearing about your love at @rebellovedirectory fair in Bristol on Saturday, Ill be thrilled to get my terrible dancing on with you and chat all things ceremony in Birmingham at @the_un_wedding_show on Sunday. Lets give you a celebration of your love that joyfully honours you for all that you are, and that sets the energy you want to radiate throughout your day!

I remember when I started my business just excitedly imagining being at The Un-Wedding Show and other key wedding fairs for lovers looking for suppliers that let them lean completely into their true selves, but then I let imposter syndrome get the better of me. Its a real moment to be here now, and I feel hugely grateful for the opportunity - thank you, Melissa!

Im so glad that @lovestruckcelebrant and @thegiraffeshed will be joining me on my wedding fair tour of the West, and to meet lovely colleagues when we get to Birmingham, including @orangetreeweds and @therainbowfolk

Its going to be so lush! See you there!

P.S. if youre able to get to Birmingham on Sunday, Ive got two free tickets for The Un-Wedding Show to give away! First to comment with your favourite form of potato in the comments gets them! (If its crisps I NEED to know the flavour, if its chips, I need the condiment and toppings. Essentially, spare no detail please!) 🥔

Part 2 of my ‘10 Ways to Have an Anti-Racist Wedding’ series is here, on the same day as the re-election of Donald Trump.

For many, this is a day of sorrow and fear for what the future may hold and, simultaneously, it is a reminder that now more than ever that people in positions of political power cannot be the sole ones responsible or accountable for equality and human rights work – each of us has a part to play, and the voices and actions of the people have never mattered more. In both our everyday and extraordinary decisions, we are, in a way, casting a vote.

How will your love ethic guide the decisions you make in relation to your wedding day, or as a supplier, in your wedding business? Let me know in the comments ❤️

The full blog related to this post, filled with useful information and connecting you to some seriously brilliant suppliers, is linked in my Instagram bio.

I had the privilege of celebrating Nibs and Liam’s love in the stunning seascape scenery of Portpatrick, a place that is steeped in Nibs’s family history. The ceremony contained so many gorgeous elements from the sharing of their love story to the couple writing each other’s vows inspired by @gracepetriemusic song ‘If I were to outlive you’, and only seeing them for the first time when publicly committing to them! There were readings by @molly.naylor and Wendy Cope that reflected what love and marriage meant to them, and we sealed the deal with a gorgeous bespoke handfasting.

It was lush to be part of the whole day which included some cracking speeches, playing games, singing and dancing the night away, and getting to try the glorious Bruce cake from Get Baked!

Independent celebrants have the honour of getting to know you on an incredibly deep level – who you are, what matters to you, your journey to this moment as individuals and as a couple. And it’s that investment in and dedication to you that lays the foundation for your unforgettable and true-to-you ceremony. I was lucky to call Nibs and Liam my friends before, but being their celebrant has brought me even closer to them and made me even more grateful that our paths crossed. 💛💛

Georgie & Martyn 06.07.2024.

Georgie and Martyn’s love for their family has always been at the heart of their relationship and their wedding ceremony was no different. We created a bespoke handfasting performed by Georgie’s parents which also honoured family no longer with us and a rainbow unity sand ceremony with their seven brilliant children.

Their gorgeous, relaxed wedding celebration in their garden and reception at Georgie’s mum’s cafe brought everyone into their world, which is so filled with love. It was a brilliant, chilled out day before they jetted off on a familymoon to Turkey - Georgie, Martyn, the kids and their grandparents. They are adored by their community too – the wedding PA system was provided courtesy of the local scouts, and their wedding photography was a gift from old family friends. Working with them was an absolute honour and I’m so touched by this really generous Google review Georgie wrote:

“My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Aliya was so amazing, she made everything so perfect and personal for us, she went above and beyond with our family and friends, making sure everyone felt included. Aliya is such a wonderful lady, she listened to every word we said and gave us such an amazing, emotional ceremony. We highly recommend the inclusive celebrant. Thank you so much Aliya, we will never forget how much youve done for our perfect wedding ceremony.”

Image description: A nine-page carousel with words from Georgie and Martyn’s review interspersed with photos from their wedding. Georgie and Martyn are a white cis-het couple with blonde-brown hair. Their wedding photos included in this post are a mix of professional and guest photos taken during the wedding ceremony, showcasing their handfasting ceremony and unity rainbow sand ceremony - there is space at the top of the heart-shaped vessel for Georgie to add flowers from her wedding bouquet.

You bring yourselves, I’ll bring the joy.
I cannot put into words how excited I am to meet you at Rebel Love Fair in November, to celebrate your upcoming weddings and chat all things ceremony with you, and to do so in the company of folk in our industry who practice inclusion on the daily. Lets give you a wedding you’ll be smiling about forever. 🥰

A fortnight ago I had the enormous privilege of attending @loveforall_lgbtq workshop to up my learning on how to be a true ally to the LGBTQ+ community. This workshop, open to all suppliers in the wedding industry, is informative, provides a brave space for people to sit with discomfort and ask questions, and is led by folk with lived experience – a complete winner. If you can’t wait until the next workshop to improve your knowledge, why not make sure you’re following @stephaniedreamsphotography and @rebellovedirectory who routinely share learning, and take a listen to their podcast, Love for All, available on Spotify and Apple.

I then also had the honour of being the celebrant for one of the Love for All styled shoots, with the gorgeous, romantic and hilarious @jeffieplays and @rollwithru in a dreamy pastel setup created by an amazing team of suppliers. The three of us met a few days earlier online and I was immediately struck by the depth of their love for each other, as present and clear in the glances between them as in the momentous memories they shared with me. We did a handfasting and I wrote them a small piece to honour and celebrate their love – the first time they heard it was during the shoot. There was laughter and there were tears and, at the end, I made some wishes for everyone present at the shoot.

With Jess and Ruby’s permission, I share these wishes with you now:
- May you find yourself belonging wherever you go.
- May you always be seen, respected and celebrated for all that you are.
- And may you feel love in all the ways you need it, for you are all so deeply loved.

In joyful gratitude,

Aliya ❤️

We can’t truly act loudly for love whilst staying quiet and inactive against genocide, and we have so much more power and strength together than we’d ever believe. What is the wedding industry about if not the unity of people? We’re greater than the sum of our parts and we can make needed powerful change together. Here are some recommendations of anti-genocide action we can take in the wedding industry.

This post is not an exhaustive list but a starting point - there’s so much more we can all be doing. Let us know what you’re doing, and where you’re turning to for information and support in the comments! For example, banner maker extraordinaire @alicegabb has an amazing Instagram highlight on ethical banking!

Portrait of me and the beautiful birds and feathers by graphic design legend and delight @jjillustrates

Today marks the completion of my 32nd trip around the sun, and its bittersweet to say its been my best one so far. There was a time a few years ago where I couldnt imagine getting to 32 because I was so hideously unhappy I would hope each night that I would just leave the world in my sleep, but Im so thankful and privileged that I have made it this far and found myself with more happiness and hope in my personal life than I ever could have imagined. This is a hugely privileged position to be in when at the same time, from Palestine to Congo to Sudan and beyond, millions of people are suffering due to human greed. Indigenous communities are paying the cost for climate damage created by the Western world. Trans+ and disabled folk are having their rights cruelly stripped away in our country by the Tory government. The things Ive experienced simply do not compare. I promise to keep learning, speaking out, trying to do better, failing, holding myself accountable and trying again until I do.

In this past year, after lots of work in therapy, finding work I really enjoy, and moving into such beautiful spaces in my relationships with my partner, family and friends, I am overwhelmed with gratitude to still be spinning around on this big blue marble. Thank you to everyone who has connected with me this year including all my amazing clients and communities in the wedding sector. Special enormous love goes to @wed4pal who have just been incredible, along with @rebellovedirectory @altweddingfair and @loveforall_lgbtq for giving me a home and sense of belonging in this industry. Thank you to @jenniferclaireofficial and to @thecelebrantscollective for taking a chance on my expertise in leading workshops in celebrant development spaces. And thank you from the bottom of my heart to my partner, family, friends, and therapist, who have supported me to thrive and cared no less for me when I have made mistakes.

To anyone struggling right now, please hold on, please ask for help, please know you deserve it.

To Tiny Aliya, know this: Mary Oliver was right; joy was not made to be a crumb. And one day youll have enough for a whole cake.

All my love,
Aliya ❤️

LOVE STORIES FOR PALESTINE: Nadine & Gabriel.

Meet Gabriel from the UK and Nadine from Palestine. Gabriel’s love for and solidarity with Palestine brought him there ten years ago, and this is where he met and fell in love with Nadine. After years of long-distance love and hardship caused by border policing and visa complexities, they are finally reunited in the UK, having married in Jordan last year.

Their relationship also highlights the power of love within allyship and accountability, and its ability to transcend differences in identity. Swipe right to savour their words on this!

Nadine shared that weddings are at the centre of Palestinian culture. Nadine and Gabriel were unable to marry in Palestine, as they would have wished, also due to issues with borders and visas. This also meant that their wedding was the first time that Nadine’s family met Gabriel. Gabriel left Palestine via Jordan to return to the UK on 6th October 2023. Nadines family remains there, they are unable to flee to the UK to be with her.

With our magpie eyes, we were drawn to Nadine and Gabriel’s wedding rings, pictured here, the beautiful silver bands etched with gorgeous Arabic script. These are not traditional Palestinian wedding rings, but are a reflection of the couple, each containing lines from Sufi poetry, by 8th Century Iraqi mystic, Rābia al-Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya. On Nadine’s ring are the words: “I’ve known love since I’ve known your love”. On Gabriel’s ring are the words: “I closed my heart to all others”. The rings were made in Palestine.

Nadine was keen to centre the cause for a Free Palestine rather than herself in sharing her story with us. Being able to participate in activism is something that we often take for granted here in the UK – Nadine shared that people in Palestine are attacked for protesting peacefully. We therefore have an even greater duty and responsibility to use our privilege and our voices to speak out against the occupation and genocide in Palestine and demand an end to the apartheid regime inflicted upon its people as directed by the Israeli government. If youre a wedding business who wants to do more for Palestine, please contact @wed4pal.
