With This Ring

any couples comment on how well I do get to know them, even in short planning. Her email stated, "The only thing that Jo and I had an issue with was a line in the ceremony we asked you to leave out. We had requested that you do not say 'til death do you part and you had assured us that you do not say that line. But you included it anyway. It's not a huge deal, just thought I should make you aware of it." I did apologize, stating that normally I do not use it, but had two others that did want it that month and used it from theirs. The original date of 7/5/14 at my highest level package was changed to 12/21/13 as an elopement and I was given notice of this 12/4. I tried to include as many of her requests as I could, with two weeks before the holidays, a busy month, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, her change to a lesser package. My elopement package is a pre-written ceremony and is not sent a preview. They are allowed to send me their own vows, which I did use, and even put onto nice vow cards for them, which they later received as a keepsake. That is not normally done for my elopement packages. The ring vows I did were the statement of intention to make the legal statement for the ceremony, and while I regret including "til death do us part", that really was (as stated in her email later) the only error. Their vows and ring vows they had chosen did not cover the legality needed, so I had to make it part of the ring vows. They had wanted to include a reading from Lord of the Rings, but I do not typically include readings, personal stories or unities in elopements. I do feel that I gave this couple service beyond a 2-3 star rating, even by her initial email words to me. I feel they were still expecting all the same service elements to remain in the lesser service package that they were promised in the higher level.
