The Ceremony Store-Hire a Celebrant-Naming Ceremonies

‘At sixteen I was stupid, confused and indecisive.

At twenty-five I was wise, self-confident, prepossessing and assertive.

At forty-five I am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive.

Who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?’

Jules Feiffer
