Our Ceremony

As our first anniversary is around the corner I am reminiscing.

I love wedding ceremonies. There are few things more beautiful than watching a man and a woman commit their lives to one another before their family, friends, and God. What I love even more than watching it- doing it!

Here are 5 things that made our ceremony even more special to me:

  1. I married my best friend (obvious I know)
  2. My dad walked me down the aisle (for as long as I can remember my dad and I have gone on evening walks together. And as cliché as it is- this walk was my favorite :) )
  3. We had an ‘In Loving Memory’ candle for my dad’s mother whom I never got to meet. My dad, his sister, and his brother all got up and lit it together
  4. My Husband’s cousin is a pastor and he is the one who conducted the ceremony
  5. All 4 of our parents got up and prayed over us prior to officially becoming husband and wife

The whole event was beautiful (yes, I may be a little bit biased). Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing!

{Check back on Saturday to see more fun from our wedding}

      I still get teary eyed looking over them ha! Thank you. I’ll be praying for your family and that they come to know our Heavenly Father! You would make a great mother one day!
