Preparing for Marriage

Ms. Cassedy is available to assist with the preparation and performance of the actual wedding ceremony, as well as to prepare and educate the couple for the marriage journey.   Our society does not provide much support to married couples but after the wedding, sends them off into the sunset to live “happily ever after”.  In fact, marriage can be challenging especially in the early years and especially without some understanding of the changes they are likely to experience.  Ms. Cassedy will explore with the couple their assumptions about marriage and provide some essential advice for the journey ahead to provide a strong foundation for the new marriage.
