Love in in the air

by Rev. Nancy Carr
(Isla de Vieques, Puerto Rico)

I am Reverend Nancy Carr, and I have the best career in the world. I marry wonderful couples and experience the joy of their love. Couples come to Vieques from around the world mostly for weddings on the beach at sunset which is a very romantic experience. I love to see them wading in the in the ocean right after their ceremony or posing for pictures kissing as the sun sets behind them.

I also write each ceremony so it is personal just to that couple even if they want a simple ceremony. Creating interfaith, intercultural weddings and incorporating worldwide traditions into the ceremonies is my specialty. I have written ceremonies that contain parts of five different beliefs into one wedding ceremony. I also have done weddings where my ceremonial words were translated into two and three different languages. Every couple and wedding is unique and special for me, and I want to see the couple have a ceremony that represents who they are.

Some couples keep in touch with me long after the wedding. I just received a picture of of one couples' ultrasound of the baby they are expecting. I am so excited for them.

How much better can life get than being surrounded by love and being able to live in Paradise at the same time?
