當 Chris 和 Jady 找我們為他們主持婚禮時，我們完全沒想到，這場婚禮會由一位穿著蝴蝶結的小小賓客，一隻烏龜，擔任最特別的見證人。 「你們要帶烏龜來婚禮？太棒了吧！」 愛情故事，從一隻烏龜開始 金金不是寵物，而是他們真正的家人。 2022 年，Chris 和 Jady 從香港移居加拿大溫哥華，開啟了人生的新篇章。一年後的 2023 年 5 月 10 日，他們在 PetSmart 遇見了 Kam Kam：一隻剛滿三到五個月大的地中海 赫曼陸龜 （Hermann’s Tortoise），那時的牠，小小一隻，剛好能放在掌心裡。他們當場就知道：這孩子要帶回家。 從那天開始，他們不再是兩個人，而是三口之家。 金金也跟著他們一起旅行，走過 Tofino、Kelowna、卡加利，陪他們經歷了許多生活的片段。所以他們也希望，在人生最重要的這一天，金金能夠一起見證。 但他們也曾猶豫：烏龜可以參加婚禮嗎？ 這時，我們向他們介紹了一個屬於 Pawfect Witness ™  的特色儀式 —— 結婚證書的寵物爪印紀念 Unity Certificate Paw

Before Pawfect Witness ™  ever had a name, this intimate wedding at The Vancouver Club  reminded us why the project matters so deeply. When Chris and Jady first contacted us about officiating their small wedding ceremony in Vancouver , we didn’t expect one of the guests to arrive with a shell. But once we learned about their tortoise, our hearts lit up. “You’re bringing a tortoise? That’s amazing!” A LOVE STORY THAT STARTED WITH A TORTOISE You see, Kam Kam  isn’t just a pet.

Micro wedding ceremony at Brix & Mortar Restaurant, Vancouver. When it’s not just about the steps, but about the feeling behind them. One of the most common questions we get is: “Can we please learn some more about what the ceremony will entail?” And we understand, because the ceremony isn’t just a segment of your wedding day. It’s the heart of it. It’s where time slows, and two people stand in stillness, making something unseen become real. So here’s a gentle glimpse into wh

In many couples' hearts, the most unforgettable moment in a wedding ceremony is when they look into each other’s eyes and say, "I do." These two words, though brief, carry the weight of a lifetime commitment. But too often, this deeply meaningful declaration is reduced to a scripted "repeat after me" exercise—stripping it of sincerity and emotional resonance. As independent marriage officiants, we believe your "I do" should be a heartfelt choice, not just a recited line. That

在許多新人心中，一場婚禮中最重要的時刻，莫過於彼此凝視時、鄭重說出「我願意」的那一刻。這句話，看似短短三個字，卻是人生中最具份量的承諾。然而，這句本應深具情感的誓言，卻時常因「repeat after me」的制式流程而變得機械，失去了原有的真摯與意義。 作為一位獨立婚姻監禮人，我們一直相信：「我願意」應該是發自內心的選擇，而不是一段等待背誦的文字。這不僅僅是法律上的確認，更是情感上的回應與決定。因此，我們採用歐式婚禮中的 Declaration of Intent（結婚意願聲明）  模式，讓新人能夠在最投入的氛圍中，用自己的語氣，大聲而真誠地說出屬於彼此的承諾。 拒絕背誦，只為真心流露 許多新人在觀禮時已習慣傳統做法，會以為自己必須逐字跟讀婚禮誓詞。他們經常會略帶緊張地詢問：「請問我們當日需要重複甚麼？能否提前知道內容，好讓我們練習？」 這些可愛的提問，其實反映了新人對婚禮細節的重視，也顯示出他們對這句「我願意」充滿期待與認真。 我們總會溫柔地回應：我們並不要求您背誦任何內容，也無須擔心記不住。只需專注於當下的情境，靜心聆聽證婚人的引導，並於那

At Vancity Officiant, love is something we believe should ripple outward—from couples to families, to the wider world, and especially to the animals who bring so much joy and comfort to our lives. That’s why we created the Pawfect Witness ™   ceremony—not only as a way to include your furry friend in one of life’s most treasured moments, but also as a way to give back to animals still waiting for a second chance. The Pawfect Witness ™ experience is a heartfelt, complimentary
