Okay, not the best selfie but absolutely the best couple to work with! Mary and Chris were delightful and it was fun to incorporate some Chinese traditions into the ceremony at the Madison Club. For example, Chris’ mom read some best wish phrases that best describe the Chinese wedding wishes given to a couple at the time of marriage. She read them first in Chinese and then translated each wish for us.
KORU (kor-roo) is the Maori word for “loop.” For the indigenous people of New Zealand, the koru spiral represents a fern frond beginning to unfurl. The koru symbol embodies new beginnings, a new phase of life, renewal, hope for the future, positive change, personal growth, working in harmony, bringing people together, and being mindful of the good things in life.
At Koru Ceremony, we strive to personify these ideals and celebrate a new beginning through ceremony and ritual.
