Through the eyes of a child, the world is a magical place.
We’re read “fairy tales” from the time we’re very little, not always understanding them. But, imaginative stories capture our minds and cause us to create our own fantastic stories, where we have imaginary friends, believe that we can fly with homemade wings, or that our bikes are more than just that—you remember well, don’t you?
From Cinderella and Snow White to The Chronicles of Narnia where children jump from world to world through an ordinary wardrobe, our imaginations lead us to believe that life as Kings and Queens is possible.
But, we grow up! And please know, that’s not a bad thing.
The ‘everyday’ of life captures our minds. The stability of a good job, a home, a car, and a relationship wrapped in the joys of life becomes important. We’re in the midst of creating a kingdom where we are Kings and Queens.
And you—especially deserve to be the King or Queen on your wedding day!
There’s a fancy word for your imagination when it comes to planning your wedding…
Bespoke.
Try it on. It feels good right?
You might be picturing a tailor-made suit, but really bespoke means made-to-order—just for you, not mass produced, not samesies, or done a thousand times over.
It also means dipping into the imagination that might be a little dusty and getting creative (and fun) in your planning.
And can we let you in on a little secret? In the Enduring Promises Wedding world, imagination is a good thing—you’ll be celebrated for it!
You get to capture the imaginations of all your guests, telling your story of love, arriving on your special day (like Cinderella) in a horse-drawn carriage, alighting to meet your greatest love, to entwine your lives.
Others have different dreams and creativity, loving the spooky and terrible side of fun! Pumpkins, bats, and a world of fantastic creatures, wizards, and witches. We’ll wear the fangs and cape to officiate—we promise!
Some like to make noise on special occasions—did you know that motorcycles add incredible excitement to the atmosphere of an already special day?
Or maybe, a beach wedding is in your dreams—*ahem*, more precisely—getting married IN the water, we’re more than happy to abandon our shoes and roll up our pant legs (to the knees) in order to oblige.
Helicopters and “I do’s” on the top of a mountain go surprisingly well together!
Start imagining—maybe you have children you’d like to involve in the wedding—did you know you could include them in the vows?
Maybe you can’t imagine getting married without your fur baby—they can stand up with you and they look super cute in photos!
There’s magic about to be created because you still believe in dreams!
At Enduring Promises we work hard to see wedding dreams come true—there’s nothing quite like watching someone create the magic they envision. We’d like to come alongside like your Fairy Godmother!
Our award-winning Officiants love what they do, they’re happy to support and participate in your wedding day, just as you envisioned and dreamed. You have the power to create magic—and Enduring Promises will help (with a little touch of our wand 😉).
