The Beginning

Everyone always asks me "how did you start this work?" and I get to tell one of my favorite stories!

Mina and Mike, my cousin and her wonderful husband, asked me if I would consider conducting their ceremony of marriage.  They were looking for something that celebrated and highlighted their different cultural backgrounds.  

They had a gorgeous Sofreh Aghd (Persian ceremony spread) designed by Malekeh, and they wanted a service that was inclusive and made all their guests part of this joyous event.
Together, we spent many weeks talking, researching, writing and re-writing until a final script was prepared that truly reflected the two of them and their wishes.
