Symbolic actions

A symbolic action can enhance any ceremony.  They can make everyone feel included and add an extra personal element. 

Before deciding on the best symbolic action for your ceremony think about what it is you wish to convey through the action.  For example in a wedding ceremony do you wish to acknowledge that you know that the path will not always be smooth but that together you will be strong enough to face anything.
