This past Saturday when it was 90 degrees I officiated at Dan and Karen's wedding in the gardens of Unity Spiritual Center. Yes, it was a bit toasty but no one seemed to mind. We were all so thankful that it wasn't raining because there was no real Plan B other than their home. And they really wanted to get married outdoors in the garden.
After many problems with their wedding venue, rings and the pandemic, they didn't need anything else to go wrong. And it didn't. All of their daughters were able to attend as well as several family members and friends. There was even an uninvited but welcome guest - a little rbunny I met in the garden.
The bride and groom were all smiles and so much in love. It turned out to be a perfect setting for an intimate wedding. Karen looked beautiful in a pink crepe dress with matching bouquet. Their combined family of adult daughters were all in long pastel crepe dresses and looked lovely.
With music and a small processional, the happy couple said their vows with a surprise personal ending right before the kiss. I love when couples want me to add something very personal to make their ceremony unique and memorable. Wishing this lovely couple many happy years together.
