Listen as Carrie and her new husband, Teddy, share the story of their deeply personal, joy-soaked wedding.

They unpack what it looked like to trade performance and perfection for presence and play, and how inviting guests to participate (not just observe) transformed the day into a living work of art.

Along the way, Carrie also shares exciting news about her forthcoming book, Awakening Creativity: A Sacred Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Artist—including how to download two free chapters and join her live Vade Mecum (Go-With-Me) journal class on Thursday, September 25.

TOPICS COVERED:

• Why we led (and officiated) our own circle-style ceremony
• Making guests co-creators: bells, blessings, six-word love poems, and a vaudeville show
• Honoring ancestors and inviting the unseen beloveds into the space
• Handfasting with color-coded ribbons and family blessings
• Roses, tassels, bells, and other personal symbols woven through the day
• Choosing a dress code as an energetic invitation—“reckless joy” in full color
• Designing for reverence and play (and why we skipped alcohol)
• Planning with intention using The Art of Gathering (Priya Parker)
• Lessons learned, “wish-we’d-done” moments, and advice for crafting your own rituals
