Celebrated at our sacred ceremonial site at Paradisus Riviera Cancun ,the bride and groom are presented to the seven directions: the four winds (north, south, east, west), up to the superior cosmic energy (masculine), down to Mother Earth (feminine) and inside to their hearts of the superior being. Flowers of the four Mayan colors are used are used to represent the four corners: white (representing North), red (East), yellow (South), and violet (West).

After the presentation of the couple, all guests present will proceed to the center of the circle. One by one each will offer a special blessing, a song, or a personal message to the couple. This makes the ceremony uniquely personal .The couple shares with each other whatever comes from their hearts, or whatever personal vows they have prepared.
