| Congratulations on your commitment! Reverend Amanda Darlage has attained the rank and dignity of the First Degree of Clergy within the Correllian Tradition. She will work with you to customize your ceremony that can include personal vows, prayers, elements, and/or anything else you desire. Remember, this ceremony is for YOU! The services are not limited to members of the Pagan community and are carried out in Rev. Amanda’s personal capacity as a First Degree Priestesses and Reverend of the Correllian Nativist Tradition. Types of rituals include casual, formal, secular, inter-faith, Pagan, Christian, any type of ceremony you envision, and many more! Services can be carried out in the name of the Correllian Tradition. All information will be forwarded to the Mother Temple and kept on record by the Tradition. What’s next? 1. Arrange a meeting. You can do this by contacting Rev. Amanda by email (mysticpaths.net@gmail.com) or by phone (317-412-2053). She will then send you a Couple’s Questionnaire. This is an initial consultation to discuss your needs and the type of service you prefer. At the end of this first meeting, you may sign the contract and pay the deposit to reserve your date. You may also decide to prepay the customary fee by clicking Buy Now. This fee does not include additional travels expenses and/or lodging outside a 30 mile radius of Columbus, Indiana. No dates are reserved until a signed contract and deposit are received. 2. Following the first meeting, Rev. Amanda will begin working on the ceremony using the Couple’s Questionnaire to assist in personalizing the ritual. Additional meetings may follow depending upon the level of complexity and personalization involved in the ceremony. This can also include pre-marital counseling which is incorporated in the ceremony fee. 3. Should you choose a legal handfasting/wedding, you will need to file for your marriage license. This is something the bride and groom must to do together. State laws vary so check with your local County Clerk’s office. At some point, it is good to meet with Rev. Amanda at the wedding site, if this is possible. If an event coordinator is involved, the site visit should include a meeting with the event coordinator to review the ritual before the rehearsal (optional). These details will be reflected in the written ceremony so everyone will know what to expect. 4. Approval by you of the final draft of the ceremony. 5. Rehearsal (optional). This can be done in cooperation with an event coordinator if one is involved. Should the ceremony be complex and there is no event coordinator involved, Rev. Amanda may bring an assistant for things like cuing flower girls, bridesmaids, etc. 6. The actual ceremony. Rev. Amanda will arrive at the ceremony site at least an hour before the ritual to take care of any logistical issues. Immediately after the ceremony, signatures are required for the marriage license/handfasting certificate. It usually involves only the witness(es) and the officiant - bride and groom have already signed it upon receipt of the license. This only takes a few minutes. Rev. Amanda will mail it to the court's clerk in the county issuing the license. After your ceremony, Rev. Amanda is available to say words of blessing at your reception (if applicable). 7. Payment of the balance of Rev. Amanda's fee is due either at the rehearsal or after the wedding ceremony (usually a member of the ceremony party or the event coordinator will take care of this detail so the bride and groom will not be distracted.)
