This week shows little glimpses of the ceremony. I love that we kept it small and intimate! We had a grand total of 13 people in attendance - 2 sets of parents, 3 siblings, 2 grandmothers, the minister and his wife and myself and Michael! I would not have it any other way - it was small and private and allowed us to focus on our vows and each other!
This is one of my favorite photos of all! My Daddy and me right as he walked me down the stairs to be presented to Michael! He was a strong force and kept me calm on the walk. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that I had my parent's backing in this new journey!
This is where my Dad is presenting and handing me off to Michael. This was such a symbolic and sweet moment! These are the 2 most important men in my life and I am so blessed to have them both!
Here we are having our rings blessed by the wonderful Reverend Fowler. Reverend Fowler was such a wonderful force in getting me to move to Tennessee and focus on making some life changes. Had it not been for this wonderful man, I would have never met Michael and been a woman he would have wanted to marry. I will forever be indebted to Reverend Fowler and I am so blessed that he was the one to marry us! Michael and I would not have had it any other way!
Isn't the backdrop for our wedding absolutely gorgeous? I love how green everything is and in the far distance, we could see the Smokies! Every time Michael and I sit on the Veranda, I always reminisce about our beautiful ceremony. I am so blessed to be able to go back to the ceremony site over and over again!
And the best part of all! Hearing the words " You may now kiss your bride" ! It was the most perfect kiss on the most perfect day!
" But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." Ruth 1:16 & 17
