Claire and Darren's wedding was one year ago. They had an emotional ceremony, surrounded by loved ones who travelled to celebrate them, here in Portugal. They shared their vows, their story, their laughs, and some tears, of course, and had a very special handfasting conducted by Claire's brother. Unique, warm, and memorable. Even the rain came to celebrate, and here in Portugal, we know raining at a wedding means blessing!

Happy Anniversary, dear Claire & Darren 🤍

O casamento da Claire e do Darren foi há um ano atrás. Tiveram uma cerimónia emotiva, rodeados pelas pessoas que mais amam, e que viajaram para os celebrar aqui, em Portugal. Partilharam os seus votos, a sua história, os seus risos, e algumas lágrimas, claro, e tiveram uma 'união das mãos' muito especial, conduzida pelo irmão da Claire. Único, acolhedor, e memorável. Até a chuva celebrou, e aqui em Portugal, sabemos que chuva num casamento é uma benção!

Feliz Aniversário, queridos Claire & Darren 🤍

Jay was looking for a personal trainer; but she also found love

Love is not complicated. It’s actually quite simple, if we know how to read it. First, love will give us signs that something is about to happen. Sometimes love is very loud, others, very quiet and discreet. Ah! And one of its favourite ways to blossom, is through friendship. A friendship that slowly evolves to a bigger feeling, a silent attraction that builds on.

-----

PT - A Jay procurava um personal trainer; mas também encontrou o amor

O amor não é complicado. Na verdade, é bastante simples, se soubermos como o ler. Primeiro, o amor dá-nos sinais de que algo está prestes a acontecer. Por vezes o amor é muito barulhento, outras, é muito sossegado e discreto. Ah! E uma das suas maneiras favoritas de florescer, é através da amizade. Uma amizade que evolui lentamente para um sentimento maior, uma atração silenciosa que vai aumentando.

The beautiful ceremony of Marijke and Márcio

When you go on your travels, you prepare by looking on a map… Trying to see which places you want to visit and which routes can be hard. A map comes in handy as a guideline.

The two of you also have a map of your love, of your relationship, that will guide you through laughter and hardship. Because there will be difficult routes and bumps along the way

Let it be a reassurance that this is also part of it and it is in overcoming these setbacks together that makes your marriage even stronger.

I would like to repeat to you, in case you have forgotten, the pins you already firmly pinned down on your love map.

You can use those pins when you are exploring this love you have for each other. You are not only traveling the face of the earth but also your world within.

NL - De prachtige ceremonie van Marijke en Márcio

Wanneer je samen op reis vertrekt, neem je vaak een kaart bij de hand.
Je droomt van plekken die je wil ontdekken, zoekt uit welke wegen ernaartoe leiden.
Een kaart helpt je koers bepalen, geeft richting, zelfs als de weg nog onbekend is.

Ook jullie dragen zo’n kaart met jullie mee —
een liefdeskaart, getekend door jullie verhaal tot nu toe.
Ze wijst jullie de weg, door momenten van geluk en licht,
maar ook langs kronkels en onverwachte wendingen.

Weet dat dat erbij hoort.
Elke hobbel, elk zijspoor dat je samen neemt,
maakt de band tussen jullie net dieper, echter, sterker.

En mocht je het even vergeten zijn:
er staan al heel wat pins op die kaart, stevig verankerd.
Herinneringen, keuzes, kleine en grote beloften die jullie pad al hebben getekend.

Gebruik die als bakens,
wanneer jullie samen blijven reizen —
niet alleen over de wereld,
maar ook in elkaars hart, in jullie wereld vanbinnenin

C and D met in college, and they are both children of very traditional families. When they felt it was time to take the next step in their relationship, D wanted to ask C’s family’s permission to marry her. The only problem was they lived in London and her family lived in Brussels. ​​​​​​​​​Ain’t no mountain high enough for a man in love, so D got on the earliest train from London to Brussels, had lunch with her family and got their permission to marry her, returned that same day to London and got there in time to go with C to a friend’s birthday party — and she didn’t suspect a thing. Phew! ​​​​​​​​​On their wedding ceremony, they shared this and other stories with their guests, making everyone feel part of their relationship and that moment.
At YEWC, we’re committed to creating wedding ceremonies that are perfect for you. Send us a message and share your story with us. We’ll create a wedding ceremony that reflects everything that you are.

A C e o D conheceram-se na faculdade, ambos de famílias muito tradicionais. Quando sentiram que era hora de dar o próximo passo na sua relação, o D quis antes pedir permissão à família da C. O único problema era: o casal vivia em Londres, e a família da C, em Bruxelas.
“Ain’t no mountain high enough” para um homem apaixonado, então o D apanhou o primeiro comboio de Londres para Bruxelas, almoçou com a família da C e recebeu a permissão para a pedir em casamento, voltou para Londres naquele mesmo dia e ainda chegou a tempo de ir com a C a uma festa de aniversário de um amigo — sem que ela suspeitasse de nada. Ena!
Na sua cerimónia de casamento, eles escolheram partilhar esta e outras histórias com os seus convidados, envolvendo a todos no momento.
Na YEWC, temos o compromisso de criar cerimónias de casamento perfeitas para cada casal. Manda-nos uma mensagem e conta-nos a tua história.

The length of a wedding ceremony is one of the most frequent questions couples ask us, even in our first contact with them. While we can make your wedding ceremony as long or short as you want, our experience tells us that the sweet spot for the perfect ceremony lies somewhere between 20 to 35 minutes. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is enough time to tell your story, talk about your relationship goals, include rituals and readings that you may like, exchange vows and rings and not get tiring, both for you and your guests. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Would you like help to create the perfect wedding ceremony? Send us a message and schedule a free call with one of our celebrants! ​​​​​​​​

A duração da cerimónia de casamento é uma das perguntas mais frequentes que ouvimos dos casais, até mesmo na nossa chamada introdutória. Nós podemos fazer a cerimónia durar tanto quanto queiram. Mas a nossa experiência diz-nos que a cerimónia perfeita está no intervalo entre os 20 e os 35 minutos de duração. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Assim temos tempo suficiente para contar a vossa história, falar sobre os vossos objetivos no relacionamento, incluir rituais e leituras se desejarem, declarar os vossos votos, trocar as alianças, e tudo sem que a cerimónia torne-se cansativa para vocês ou os vossos convidados. ​​​​​​​​

H and M’s story is mixed with the city of Porto itself. The two of them met in 2014, while they were carpooling from Porto to Ovar, where they both worked. H was always half asleep during the trip, but woke enough to notice M’s morning energy. Their first kiss happened while watching the fireworks celebrating Porto’s patron saint John. And the proposal was made right in the middle of Porto’s Sá Carneiro Airport. ​​​​​​​​
With a story like this, we can only wish their relationship ages as well as a vintage Port wine and grows more tasty throughout the years. ​​​​​​​​
Would you like your story told in a personal way on your wedding day? Send us a message and book a call with one of our celebrants! ​​​​​​​​

PT ​​​​​​​​
A história do H e da M mistura-se com a cidade do Porto. Eles conheceram-se enquanto partilhavam um carro para ir do Porto a Ovar, onde trabalhavam. O H estava sempre meio adormecido durante todo o caminho, mas acordado o suficiente para reparar na energia matinal da M. O primeiro beijo dos dois aconteceu debaixo dos fogos de São João, padroeiro do Porto. E o pedido de casamento foi feito no meio do Aeroporto Sá Carneiro. ​​​​​​​​
Com uma história como estas, só podemos desejar que a relação do H e da M envelheça como um bom vinho do Porto, ganhando mais camadas de sabor e complexidade ao longo dos anos.​​​​​​​​
Queres a tua história contada desta maneira pessoal no teu casamento? Envia-nos uma mensagem e marca uma chamada com uma das nossas celebrantes! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
