The Ceremony
Jon and I decided we really wanted a ceremony that is personal to us. Neither of us attend church regularly and felt it would feel forced to have the long mass. We decided on attempting an outdoor ceremony and have asked a great friend of ours to become ordained. We plan to keep it short, 20-25 minutes, since it will be the middle of July and most likely VERY hot!
The Location
The ceremony will take place right outside the house. The view from this picture is actually from the house. Instead of facing the trellace you can see in the background, we've decided to use the house and the fountain there as our backdrop. There is a great paved aisle and the grass on either side is actually astroturf. We wont need to worry about it not being green or any of our guests sinking into the grass with their heels!
Rainy Alternative
With the ever changing weather we always have, I wanted to make sure that I would still love the ceremony spot incase we do have rain. This ceremony will take place in the atrium in the back of the house which is beautiful!
