How can a day be so wonderful, yet so hard and so much work? Preparation for this day started about 10 months ago. So much planning and so many decisions. All in all the day was everything we hoped it would be! Chelsey and Kasey, surrounded by family and friends, pledging their love and commitment to one another. The day was perfect, the setting spectacular, the people they love surrounding them. For those of you who were unable to be with us on that special day I am sharing part of the ceremony that we were so honored to be apart of.
A Quote directly from the ceremony:
"Chelsey and Kasey, real love goes far beyond the feeling of romance and bliss. It is caring more about the well-being and happiness of your marriage partner than your own needs and desires. Love makes burdens lighter because you divide them. It makes joys more intense because you share them.
When you enter into marriage, you enter into life’s most important relationship. It is a gift, given to bring comfort when there is sorrow, peace when there is unrest, laughter when there is happiness, and love when it is shared.
A successful marriage is not something that just happens. It takes work, honesty, and unselfishness. Most importantly, it takes commitment from both of you."
Part of the ceremony included a sand ceremony, this is what was shared:
"There are 3 vessels of sand before us, each representing you as individuals. Today just as you are joining your lives together so are the grains of sand joined together in the family vessel. As you pour the sand into the vase, remember that just as the individual sands represent each of you as individuals, it intermingles into a single unit, a family. Each layer supports the next, each layer unique yet bonded inseparably from the next; so is your family built in love and support inseparably mixed together from this day forward."
It was truly a beautiful ceremony and a beautiful day! To those who were in attendance, thank you for sharing this amazing day, to those who couldn't make it, you were truly missed!
To Kasey, welcome to our family! You are such a good man. I watch you with the little ones, you are such a kind and patient man. I love you so much, and that love continues to grow every day. To Chelsey, I love you more than you will ever know. I am so proud of the woman you have become. You are so beautiful, yet so strong. You are my first child, and now you are becoming my friend. Never lose sight of who you are and always reach for the stars! I love you sweetheart!
