Honey Ceremony

Multifaith clergywoman, Joyce Gioia created this ritual revolving around honey, a symbolic food since ancient times and crossing many cultures.

‘Honey is a symbol of the sweetness in life.  And so, with this dish of honey, we proclaim this day as a day of great joy and celebration – a day to remember – Your Day.  We thank you, God for creating this divine substance and ask you to bless it, even as you will bless this holy union. Amen.’

Groom dips his little finger into the honey and touches bride’s tongue wit it – bride does the same)`

‘As together you now share this honey, so may you, under God’s guidance, in perfect love and devotion to each other, share your lives together and thereby may you find life’s joys doubly gladdening, its bitterness sweetened and all things hallowed by time, companionship and love’.

(In one ceremony the father of the bride was a bee keeper and brought his own honey)
