A Rite of Passage ritual has three steps: Separation, Transformation, and Incorporation. Seeing those steps in a wedding deepens the meaning to the elements of the ceremony.

Those same rite of passage steps can also be seen in the process a contestant goes through to win the television reality show, The Voice.

Zita shares personal stories about the power of reflection, about a groom whose grandfather died at the reception, about how her own husband's struggle with Alzheimer's, and about how a bride's request for gravitas led Zita to write about the emotional weight of wedding vows. 

Zita also talks about closing a wedding ceremony with the magic of three kisses!
