Holding Space before Ceremony

Keeping calm & taking space before holding ceremony.

It can be at least a 12 month lead up for many of my marriage ceremonies. And to be at this point is always so exciting for everyone.

I like to take a few moments to ground myself with a karakia (prayer) to my Tūpuna (elders) & kaitiaki (guides) to surround me & support in sacred space.
And also say a gratitude blessing for all that supports my family
