In this post we've chosen to bring you a look at the Dove Release which can be a beautiful and symbolic addition to any wedding ceremony.
White Doves have been used around the world for centuries to symbolise purity, peace, faith & love. Doves are considered a symbolic release at Weddings because they stay faithful to each other for life and form strong family bonds and share the care of their young. They're also beautiful and a dove release can create a fabulous and significant event to share with your guests.
Please note: It's important to ensure that you get your doves from a reputable and ethical dove handler who is experienced and careful with the birds.
Celebrant:
"White doves mate for life and much like a
married couple, sometimes the doves take flight and follow their own path for
short periods of time, not tied to each other every moment of every passing
day. But when the darkness sets in, whether their day’s journey has been
together or apart, they both return to the safe place they know is home for the
night, to each other.
The releasing of these white doves is a blessing
to you both on this day. It is a reminder that while your lives, your paths and
your other commitments may often lead you in opposite directions, you always
have a place to come home to, to find each other and be one."
Release the doves
"As these doves fly they will carry for you
and all of your loved ones here present, wishes for peace, love and hope for
your future life together."
