Barbie and Shelley's 
Commitment Ceremony
Prologue
The setting is a lovely tree-lined grass garden on the north side of a 1920's mediteranian-syle building.  The large grassy area closest to the building has chairs assembled in a compact spiral.  Aisleways radiate from a circular floral display in the middle, toward the cardinal directions.  Recorded melodic percussion fills the air with anticipation.

Guests Gracie, Arthur and Deirdre, wait for the ceremony to start.  Facilitating priestess are in the upper left, going over ceremony plans. The ceremony area is in the background. Below, munchies and guestbook.
Guests mingle in the northernmost section of the garden, separated from the ceremony area by a candle/flower-lined low wall, and vigilant facilitators.  The guests sign the guest book, and enjoy pre-ceremony hors d'ovres.
