Another great addition to Committed! 2012 is Treelife Ceremonies. All too often we see couples breeze through their ceremony, without a whole lot of meaning. Treelife Ceremonies helps couples make their ceremony unique, special and highly meaningful. Because it is all about the one you love, right? Officiant Mary takes the time to work alongside couples to find out what is really meaningful to them. She coaches couples to include personal stories, cultural traditions, sentiments from family and friends and symbols of love and meaning to the couple. What results is a tear jerking, life changing moment that you can share with everyone in attendance & beyond! Learn more about her approach here.

Come meet Mary at the Event, where you will surely be inspired to make your vows meaningful!
