The camera follows a feather as it drifts gently on the breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The feather represents the lightness I bring to wedding ceremony speeches and the beauty of the encounters that shape our lives. If that feather has landed before your eyes today, it is no coincidence. If you are reading this page, you are looking for a ceremony that reflects who you are and a celebrant who shares your values.\n\nI\u2019m Muriel, better known by my pen name, Emma Blue. I\u2019m a writer and a trilingual wedding celebrant, working in French, English and German across the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur region of southern France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border is-style-rounded\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-portrait-officiante.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Blue autrice et officiante de c\u00e9r\u00e9monie en r\u00e9gion PACA\" class=\"wp-image-712\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:35px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-portrait-officiante.jpg 400w, https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-portrait-officiante-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-portrait-officiante-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Daphn\u00e9 Wiik<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My First Adventures in London<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">My love of writing goes hand in hand with my taste for foreign languages. My special bond with my German grandmother sparked my passion for languages and my desire to learn more. After studying English and German, I moved to London, where I stayed for over four years.\n\nI supported senior executives on their daily work. I learned to adapt to every situation and relished assignments that took me to M\u00e1laga, Geneva and Paris. I felt as though I had wings (especially when travelling first class!).\n\nI loved working in this international environment and responding to last-minute requests, always aware of the importance of the mysterious documents entrusted to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">When I returned to France, my London experience and fluency in English opened the doors to a bank on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9 in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My First Love Stories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Eventually, I settled along the magical shores of the French Riviera. Writing became an increasingly important part of my life, and my desire to share my love of language and literature led me to become a primary school teacher.\n\nI taught my pupils to hold their pens and let their imaginations wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">What a joy it was to see children's eyes light up as I read them stories! I learned to modulate my voice, vary the pace of my reading and bring stories to life through facial expressions. Mission accomplished: my first audience was captivated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My First Publications, long before Wedding Speeches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Writing gradually took centre stage in my life. I won poetry competitions organised by the city of Nice, received an award in a short-story competition in 2020 for Les gants blancs (The White Gloves), and won a literary prize in Antibes in 2023 for my first novel, J\u2019irai souffler sur tes cendres.\n\nI explored all kinds of writing. Robin des glaces, a short story for young readers published by Short \u00c9dition, has been distributed in more than 40,000 copies across France!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The adventure continued when I co-wrote Laura Jourdan\u2019s novel recounting her journey to the North Pole. Aventuri\u00e8re des p\u00f4les was published by Istya &amp; Compagnie in October 2023. This wonderful collaboration deepened my love of telling your stories and writing about your adventures and love stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How I Began Writing Ceremony Speeches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In 2023, my feather landed at the feet of a funeral director in Mougins, who made me an unexpected offer:\n\n\u201cHow would you feel about writing funeral ceremony speeches to pay tribute to those who have passed away?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">A few days later, I found myself alongside a grieving family. That was when I truly understood the power of words: they can comfort, soothe, and even bring smiles through the tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">After around fifty ceremonies and just as many families finding comfort, I am now here for you, ready to help you celebrate the most beautiful day of your life: your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Because words can make these moments last forever, and a symbolic wedding ceremony can leave a lasting impression on everyone present.\n\nMy greatest love story? Yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-officiante-mariage-paca.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Blue officiante de c\u00e9r\u00e9monie la\u00efque dans les Alpes-Maritimes\" class=\"wp-image-716\" style=\"border-radius:56px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-officiante-mariage-paca.jpg 600w, https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-officiante-mariage-paca-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emmablue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emma-blue-officiante-mariage-paca-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer : Daphn\u00e9 Wiik \u2013 Europhoto Mougins<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment je suis devenue officiante de c\u00e9r\u00e9monie la\u00efque Quand on me demande comment je suis devenue officiante de c\u00e9r\u00e9monie la\u00efque, je pense au g\u00e9n\u00e9rique du film Forrest Gump.
