Ceremony Masters
Wayne and I both liked to have our own personal ceremonies. We wanted to have only people there we care for, friends and family. Our ceremonies will not be coordinated, lead, or mastered by anybody from the state or the church or any professional. We chose to trust on our best friends. Therefore we are proud to present to you:
| Jan van Veen | Master of the Ceremony of our Declaration of Love |
| Eva Wilders | Master of the Ceremony of our Exchange of Vows |
| Ted Dawson | Master of the Ring Ceremony |
Ceremony Masters 2
No, of course, our wedding will not consist of ceremonies only. We want to have some fun too. We want to cut the cake, dance, listen to speeches, talk with our friends. In each location, we will have good friends coordinate all these wonderful things. (But not all of them know it yet.) Usually we call these people ceremony masters too. Even after many discussions we could not come up with a better word. So, we proudly present to you our Ceremony Masters two:
| Elsi Evangelides | Ceremony Master 2 in Cyprus. |
| Eva Wilders | Ceremony Master 2 in Holland. |
| Laura Dawson | Ceremony Master 2 in America |
Home wedding
We liked the idea of an all at home and outdoor wedding. Thanks to our parents we can realise this! Thanks to Geoff we have abandoned this idea a little. When he offered us that we could have the wedding at his home instead of ours, we had to stretch the meaning of 'at home' a little. We thank you for letting us use your house and gardens and making this special wedding possible for us.
| Emmeleen van Veen | Rohel, The Netherlands. |
| Travis and Janice Dawson | Raleigh, North Carolina, USA |
| Geoff Bible | Accrunda, Limassol, Cyprus |

Yes, yes, there are always many people to thank for any big event. But some people we just had to mention. Thank you!

| Janice Dawson | For helping and supporting us with the organisation of this big event. And for thinking of all those things we may forget otherwise. |
