Who are we?
Welcome to White Heart Weddings. Thank you for choosing our
services to help you plan your special day.
Firstly, allow me to introduce myself, I am Tracey, Your committed
wedding planner. I will be here to help you as much or as little as you
require.
Why have I called my business White Heart Weddings? Please allow
me to explain the chosen name. I have chosen ‘White’ because white
is the symbol of purity, and ‘Heart’ because a heart is the well known
symbol of love. So our company means ‘Pure Love’ which is of course
why couples choose to marry and spend the rest of Their lives together
either through religious ceremonies, civil ceremonies or civil
partnerships.

A brief history of marriage
The traditional vows “To have and to Hold from this day forward, For
better For worse, for richer for poorer, In sickness and in health, to love
and to cherish, ‘till death us do part” have been recited in UK church
weddings since 1552, although becoming increasingly popular for the
bride and groom to be to write their own vows.
Marriage ceremonies occurred before the wedding service was
written into the book of common prayer, but were much more informal
affairs.
2005 saw the legal recognition of homosexual couples entering in to
civil partnerships after the introduction of the civil partnership act of
2004
