Sara and James' love story, a key part of their wedding ceremony, told of how they met in pharmacy school, studied together...and finally went on a first date that ended with a dozen roses and a box of chocolates...well, it was Valentines Day. (Good move, James!) The telling of their love story evoked memories for them and provided the context for their guests as to what this celebration was all about...the love between this bride and groom.
They did a unique thing for their vows. They wrote about 20 vow-like statements about one sentence long which they took turns reading. Some of the content was humorous. Some was appropriately serious. After the series of statements were read...we all had a picture of what they had promised each other....and we all listened.
As the sun set, I pronounced them husband and wife...and with rejoicing, the couple and their guests headed off to the party...thankfully indoors!
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
