A conference call designed to support brides in planning a beautiful wedding but not losing themselves in the process.

Cornelia offers these musings for brides: “How can you plan your wedding with ease, without effort and struggle? How do you have a beautiful ceremony that is an expression of intimacy and deep connection? How to keep your well-being and your relationship at the forefront of your attention while planning your wedding? This is not a ‘how to’ class on wedding planning, but a class on ‘how to be’ while planning your wedding: how to be more at ease, more grounded and confident in your choices, more connected to the person you are marrying, more aware of the journey of self-discovery you are beginning.”

A conference call coaching mothers-of-brides and -grooms to be supportive players and answering some of the questions mothers have of their “new role” in the wedding planning scheme of things.

Cornelia has been called “the bride’s sage” and “a wedding folklorist;” however she speaks the language of weddings with a message for all women. Indeed, it is the story of women that Cornelia weaves as she combines tales of wedding mythology, costume history, goddess legends, and the origin of rituals—along with her own intuitive musings. Entertaining and illuminating, the stories are designed to broaden one’s view of the world. And for brides, they awaken her awareness of the rite-of-passage ahead, deepening its effect, and creating a more fulfilling wedding experience. Whether a woman has ever been a bride or not, and if she has, no matter the type, size or date of her wedding (or length of her marriage), Cornelia’s stories hold the imprint of all women.
