I was planning a trip to Topsail Island when Ian contacted me about officiating his wedding. He originally wanted to come to our retreat center but since I would be near Jacksonville he and Jamie decided on a beach wedding.
A sand ceremony is a nice touch f you're going to get married barefoot on the beach. Ian and Jamie scooped up sand from underneath each others feet to symbolize the separate paths they once traveled.
It was the middle of October but plenty warm enough to step into the water.
Just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow,
may
there never be a day without your love for each other.
