The dove was the sacred animal of Aphrodite and Venus, the goddesses of love….
In the ancient cultures, the groom would give a dove to the bride, symbolizing his promise to help care for her and for the family. Today, doves are a blessing for the bride and groom. Doves pair up for life, so they are a true representation of love and the eternal commitment that a couple has made to each other.
DFW Dove Release can help you create that dramatic element to the end of your wedding ceremony.
To enhance the dove release experience, we have compiled a few poems for our customers to choose from and have read at the release. The poems are printed on beautiful stationary to be kept as a souvenire. Below is one sample. A personal poem or exerpt may also be used instead. For a complete sampling please contact us.
