“A note to say thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful wedding ceremony …  Although we knew what to expect from the ceremony on paper, we were both taken aback on the day as to how much meaning you gave to it and how enthralled we were to hear the words.  It was …truly special for both us and our guests. You were also a pleasure to plan with, by Skype and email when we were overseas and in person the week before our wedding, and were so open to possible last minute changes … you made that part of wedding planning very easy.”  
