Before the symbolic wedding ceremony: the story of how you met

Wedding Ceremony Speeches for Symbolic Weddings on the French Riviera

For Hélène and Félix, it all began on a boat

“Hélène fell in love with a frogman. The first time she caught sight of his silhouette, Félix was wearing a neoprene wetsuit. Not a single square inch of skin was visible. But wetsuits are tight-fitting, and Hélène would be lying if she told you her eyes hadn’t lingered on the body of the man she is marrying today… It was hot, and all she wanted to do was dive into the water. You know the discreet Hélène: she won’t tell you which part of this mysterious young man’s body caught her eye the most. Don’t worry, ladies, there’s no right answer! But now, dressed in this elegant suit, Félix is all hers.

Oh, that name! Félix… Much to his mother-in-law’s dismay, how can you give your son the name of a cat? Whatever the case, Hélène eventually got used to it… and let herself be caught, like a little white mouse. After all, her Félix is rather cute!

You know the saying: when the cat’s away, the mice will play! That’s exactly what Hélène loves about Félix. He respects her need to go out and party with her girlfriends…”

Pssst… What if I joined your wedding guests like a little writing fairy, collecting juicy anecdotes and weaving them into your wedding keepsake book?
