North Carolina Family Wedding

Rebecca and Matthew, along with their son Mikey came to our retreat center to marry. Their parents traveled from various locations to join in the celebration.


Most ceremonies begin with ‘the giving of the bride’. Actually, that term is a little dated. Since the bride is not property to be owned or ‘given away’ I use the term, ‘who gives their blessings… etc.. I began Rebecca and Matthew’s ceremony with a little ‘twist’. I asked for the blessings and support of all of their parents. I received a resounding ‘We Do’.

Mikey was only 2 1/2 but he was a great ring bearer...

Don’t you just love her ‘something blue’.

 

Although Mikey was a little young he managed to do 'his part' for the family unity sand ceremony.
 
The ceremony ended and Mikey gave his approval with a big 'thumbs up'.

Best wishes to a 'new' family...
