Weddings With Wings
By Suzan Jorgensen
Since ancient times, doves have symbolized love, peace, harmony and fidelity. The release of pure white doves at a wedding ceremony represents the bride and the groom’s commitment to beginning their journey through life together in purity and without regrets. It is said the doves provide a visual affirmation of the release of emotions that follows marrying the one you love. It’s also believed that when released, if the dove’s fly in the same direction that indicates the marriage will be blessed with good luck.
Because doves are known to mate for life, incorporating a dove release is a confirmation and testament to the vows spoken at a wedding. Typically, newlyweds will each release a dove as an elegant and enchanting exclamation point to conclude their ceremony.
If you are considering a wedding with wings and like the idea of a dove release, be sure to work with a reputable and professional company. You want to work with a company committed to providing professional, courteous, and on time releases. Additionally, you want a company that knows what it is doing when working with live creatures. Releasing untrained or unhealthy birds could result in a foul experience, no pun intended; but truly, it is no laughing matter. You want a company that guarantees the humane and ethical treatment of all of their birds as well as a beautifully choreographed and exquisite release.
