Fairy Tale Wedding for Nicolle and Sean!

Nicolle and Sean are true Disney fans. Their favorite Disney movie is Up. There were words like "Once upon a time" and "Happily ever after" incorporated into their ceremony. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkfsbaTQxNRSKoeBWLa0AetkeFGZCOeOcHZxDXezum4yMcvKsDBBbZptaRJuzTYQOwns0eLh8x5RV795VswzGH_CzepZLTIf0A8h2nCPCTJW6hQY_ZFYW4M7ms86HskN88bWzH6QvWCc/s1600/DSCN1408.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkfsbaTQxNRSKoeBWLa0AetkeFGZCOeOcHZxDXezum4yMcvKsDBBbZptaRJuzTYQOwns0eLh8x5RV795VswzGH_CzepZLTIf0A8h2nCPCTJW6hQY_ZFYW4M7ms86HskN88bWzH6QvWCc/s1600/DSCN1408.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>Their wedding program was one of the cleverest depictions I have ever seen for a wedding program. The house and balloons represent the movie Up and the mouse ears, their love of all things Disney. Notice too that the bride is standing on  steps to raise her up to the groom's level.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_VnIWtIN7mFzTwFgy9vQ8vatOVOSLdxKBAJCbeqMtAtHBZWXypclp4WMsC_RyH028tO0whkzNRcGtw-PVpvevCgWffZ73Eee2-Y2OLGUt_9nVcvlOKgrqF3QFpKgsBKN3VPpNUIf1gA/s1600/DSCN1405.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_VnIWtIN7mFzTwFgy9vQ8vatOVOSLdxKBAJCbeqMtAtHBZWXypclp4WMsC_RyH028tO0whkzNRcGtw-PVpvevCgWffZ73Eee2-Y2OLGUt_9nVcvlOKgrqF3QFpKgsBKN3VPpNUIf1gA/s1600/DSCN1405.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Their wedding was Thursday August 14th, 2014 at the <a href="http://www.second-empire.com/weddings/" target="_blank">Second Empire </a>downtown Raleigh. It is a wonderful place for small intimate weddings. Above is the East Parlor which has been all decked out by Kelley Kennedy of <a href="http://teacupfloral.com/" target="_blank">Teacup Floral </a>with petals in the aisle and bows on the chairs. I am seeing their delightful wedding program for the first time in this photo and noticing that the bride was standing on steps! Neil MacAulay of <a href="http://www.ourfamily-photo.com/" target="_blank">Our Family Photo</a>, relative of the groom's family, was our professional photographer. He is from Charlotte. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOGUxLS9g6D2figdr9tMvRACzF0mbRXM_OTQbF6GJunPnfM1QSFSh6ezIMVS1XED4CF0Up-w1vnl5uIND7M8SewPNUFhKiw5mRs1f9sBAL0-Wuh8qKJfC8EuoM-oJOgvMik-C4dqhZ00/s1600/DSCN1412.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOGUxLS9g6D2figdr9tMvRACzF0mbRXM_OTQbF6GJunPnfM1QSFSh6ezIMVS1XED4CF0Up-w1vnl5uIND7M8SewPNUFhKiw5mRs1f9sBAL0-Wuh8qKJfC8EuoM-oJOgvMik-C4dqhZ00/s1600/DSCN1412.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Downstairs the preparations for the reception are complete! Unfortunately the wedding cake had not been brought out of refrigeration so we don't have a photo. Another unfortunate turn of events was that the violinist who was supposed to play for the ceremony did not show up. Marilyn, event manager for <a href="http://www.second-empire.com/weddings/" target="_blank">Second Empire</a>, upon learning that, immediately sprang into action, procured a boom box and downloaded the Disney tunes for the ceremony and we had music! Good going, Marilyn!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8L5SA9JM9UT5bioFzW9An4RS4U2RoSEW5Vj9fTqEAl155oygSoNDTvT1SzvCm-FObVOIkoAgt2SnTDDwiQrURrLnAvugX-Z_7WWUcofn0OlL2HpMf1_qZJgOaYoVWA8mAVTxDbSNOeV0/s1600/DSCN1424.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8L5SA9JM9UT5bioFzW9An4RS4U2RoSEW5Vj9fTqEAl155oygSoNDTvT1SzvCm-FObVOIkoAgt2SnTDDwiQrURrLnAvugX-Z_7WWUcofn0OlL2HpMf1_qZJgOaYoVWA8mAVTxDbSNOeV0/s1600/DSCN1424.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>When it was time to begin, Christine, friend of Sean's mother who had been tapped to direct the wedding, signaled for me and the groom and his attendants to enter. Sean's father, Mike, was his best man, two friends, and Sean's sister, Shannon, also stood up with him.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CeUq_lkgMONQi2BGSqJd0yRx2LkmbktdbeWkVJJ5aF1BmiTjNiEdS3E-mkee12YhyNEjEBAIoPffiJjWu9JyGrsOUvUJgMKnwET-7P1RBT8Ucxloiih7PhwTuXFgqLkYMU1ThnfK8UU/s1600/DSCN1429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CeUq_lkgMONQi2BGSqJd0yRx2LkmbktdbeWkVJJ5aF1BmiTjNiEdS3E-mkee12YhyNEjEBAIoPffiJjWu9JyGrsOUvUJgMKnwET-7P1RBT8Ucxloiih7PhwTuXFgqLkYMU1ThnfK8UU/s1600/DSCN1429.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>The 3 bridesmaids entered, then Nicolle's sister Michelle who was Maid of Honor.  Nicolle's father, Mark, escorted in our "Princess" bride.

Jennifer and Brian Get Married on a Beautiful Farm in Angier!

Jennifer, Brian, and Brian's mother, Lynne, came to see me on March 28th to talk about their wedding ceremony which was scheduled to take place on the summer solstice, June 21st 2014 in Angier. Their venue was a lovely farm of a family friend out in the country in Harnett County. They had their hearts set on having the hand fasting ritual and Brian and his groomsmen wanted to carry arms. They are not in law enforcement but this was something that was really important to them. I told Brian I was okay with that as long as the guns were not fired at the wedding!! Brian is a very fine, respectful and intelligent young man I felt I could trust! He and Jennifer seemed very dedicated to each other and very much in love. And, you know, he brought his mom along--how sweet is that?

She did a beautiful job with our ceremony. She made everything involving it so much easier then we thought it would be. She spent as much time as we needed going over details finding out what we wanted and didn't want in our ceremony. After our ceremony all our guests came to us to express their feelings on how much emotion was put into the entire ceremony. We both would 100% recommend Kayelily to anyone.

Your Wedding Ceremony

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're the kind of couple who haven't attended many weddings, it can be difficult to come up with ideas when it comes to thinking about your own wedding ceremony. It's easy to get caught up in planning the party, the food and the cake, but many forget that it is at the ceremony they actually become husband and wife. It is the words they say to each other and the declarations made in front of their guests that will be looked back upon as the years pass.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Usually your celebrant or officiant will provide you with plenty of options to consider for your ceremony, but a ceremony that has been personalised with some of the things that are truly special to the couple and reflect who they are always leave those in attendance with a sense of connection and sincerity. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Today we thought we would bring you an actual ceremony that was put together by a couple who wanted to incorporate some Pagan elements to their day.  We hope you enjoy it and we look forward to bringing you some more ceremony options.</span><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><u>Welcome:</u></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeffpyogh0bfa4LWf6TqWnliOBjmaNy5pG-IVdyBPpKgChLMzIVe8ChdQvDVlxubyDLauB8If_RIsw3qirwqvzajUpihXgFOFxkEpvgeqzNkdHCIb7X8ONzGwHHIBiw06_G8OEcv_-K36c/s1600/daphne+rings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeffpyogh0bfa4LWf6TqWnliOBjmaNy5pG-IVdyBPpKgChLMzIVe8ChdQvDVlxubyDLauB8If_RIsw3qirwqvzajUpihXgFOFxkEpvgeqzNkdHCIb7X8ONzGwHHIBiw06_G8OEcv_-K36c/s320/daphne+rings.jpg" width="320" yya="true" /></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">(Warming of the rings) On behalf of Andrew and Kathryn I would like to welcome you here today to celebrate with them as they pledge their commitment to one another in marriage. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being here and showing them your support.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><u>Introduction:</u></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">We have come together here in celebration of the joining together of Kathryn and Andrew. There are many things to say about marriage. Much wisdom concerning the joining together of two souls, has come our way through all paths of belief, and from many cultures. With each union, more knowledge is gained and more wisdom gathered. Though we are unable to give all this knowledge to these two, who stand before us, we can hope to leave with them the knowledge of love and its strengths and the anticipation of the wisdom that comes with time. </span></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The law of life is love unto all beings. Without love, life is nothing, without love, death has no redemption. Love is anterior to Life, posterior to Death, initial of Creation and the exponent of Earth. If we learn no more in life, let it be this. </span></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Marriage is a bond to be entered into only after considerable thought and reflection.

With full understanding of this, Andrew and Kathryn have come here today to be joined as one in marriage. </span></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Giving of the bride:<o:p></o:p></span></u></span></b></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Celebrant:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Others would ask, at this time, who gives the bride in marriage, but, as a woman is not property to be bought and sold, given and taken, I ask simply if she comes of her own will and if she has her family's blessing.</span></div><div style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Celebrant:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Kathryn, is it true that you come of your own free will and accord?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Kathryn</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">: Yes, it is true.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Celebrant: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with whose blessings accompany you. <br /><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"></span></strong></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Bride's attendant:</span></strong> She’s accompanied with her father’s blessings.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><u><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">voking the elements:</span></span></b><o:p></o:p></u></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">In times past it was believed that the human soul shared characteristics with all things divine.
