You can also find cords on your own that have meaning to you. For example if you like sailing, you could use rope from your boat.
Dear Carmen, It has taken me a week, but I do want to tell you how deeply grateful my husband and I are for your officiating at our son, Spencer Lean's, wedding to Sarah Sher on May 21. Your words, and the way you delivered them, were very meaningful. Almost every guest spoke to me about how moved they were by the beautiful ceremony. The overall event was a bit rough around the edges, but Sarah and Spencer wanted a simple, informal wedding. The service you conducted was the highlight of the evening, as it should be. The officiant's words and the couple's vows can quickly fade into the background, but not at this wedding. Thank you so much. You are great at what you do. Sincerely, Liz
