Christopher and Tessa brought family and friends together at The Shakespeare Garden in Central Park to witness their marriage. They had friends create a circle of rose petals on the ground where they stood for the ceremony. Within that "circle of love," they said their vows and exchanged their rings.
Tessa entered the ceremonial space unescorted. It was a symbolic set of steps in her life's journey that she wanted to make on her own. This smiling bride circled her soon-to-be husband three times and then joined him in the circle of rose petals. To her, this symbolized that she finds her home in life with him.
They wrote their own vows...each of them using the phrase "I life you," in addition to the traditional "I love you."
Documents were signed, pictures taken, and very young nieces and nephews scampered about. It was a joyful afternoon in the circle of love!
