Our Wee Wedding: Ceremony

we have Scottish, English, N.irish, Australian, and American in this photo. 

Our Ceremony was so intimate..
so perfect.

We woke up that day to the sun shining,
and it did not stop shining the entire day,
a Scotland miracle.

Upon arrival we had no idea what the protocol was,

as we had no rehearsal or run through prior.

The registrar asked us if I wanted to walk in by myself and meet Stephen at the front,

or if we wanted to walk in together.

We chose to walk in together.

This was such a poignant moment for us...

The typical view on relationships and marriage,
specifically in the christian faith
(my faith)
is that we begin our relational journey as individuals,
then come together as one in marriage...

but for Stephen and I,

in our own journey,

walking together as one has been the reason for success in our relationship
(and I don't mean that sexually speaking...ahem)

For many different reasons,
we have had to walk through this life as a joint force.
This wedding was not just about Stephen,
and it was not just about me,
but it was about us,
an important factor that is often forgotten during the process.

We were all smiles as we said our vows in front of our closest friends here in the UK.
Every time I look at that group shot I well up,
because those people,
that tiny group of people,
really made our day so special.


more photos coming next week :)
