The internet is very interesting... It can take information around the world in a flash or it can connect you with a next door neighbor. Todd and Lisa aren't exactly 'next door' neighbors but pretty close, living within a few miles of our retreat center. Like so many couples, Todd found my information through a google search.
Wedding planning was becoming stressful and he and Lisa really wanted to 'be married'. They wanted to marry quickly yet have a meaningful Christian ceremony. With only a few weeks planning we were able to have the wedding they desired.
Todd and Lisa arrived in separate cars. He had seen the back of her dress but she was adamant that he not see the front. It was a very special moment as he lifted her veil.
It was very windy on Sunday, not a good day for an outdoor unity candle ceremony. I suggested that we move that part of the ceremony indoors. And they agreed the symbolism would be more meaningful if the unity candle stayed lit!
And..... I had a surprise for the newly married couple. Lisa had mentioned that she would like to share a cupcake after their wedding. I want 'my' weddings to be perfect so of course they had to have cupcakes! I laughed as Todd grabbed the last two on his way out the door.
And they may have arrived in separate cars... but they left in one. Off to begin their marriage with a little time alone...
