If you have a civil wedding, you have the opportunity to put your personal stamp on your ceremony.
Last week, Amanda and Mike, who got married at The Seawane Club wrote their own vows with some humor, selected a reading that had meaning to them, and incorporated the "breaking of the glass" ritual from Amanda's Jewish background.
They included a variation on the chupah by having an arch of yellow sunflowers - yellow being the color of the day. And they had their parents stand with them during the ceremony. As you see their parents, you know they are the special witnesses to this wedding. They stand as loving sentinals of the two families that are united in this marriage.
It was a lovely evening wedding...marked by laughter, some tears, and the glow of yellow, reminding us of the bright future that Mike and Amanda will share.
