July 7, 2012

I was honored to be officiant for the wedding of our eldest son and his lovely bride on this weather-perfect Saturday morning. After a brief yet hearty hike to a beautiful, sandy, crescent-shaped beach, we gathered for an intimate celebration of their joining.

Present were the bride and groom, their respective parents and two of their best friends.

In preparation for the ceremony, I asked each of the primary participants to collect a small amount of water from somewhere they found solace or special communion so that we could use it during the wedding. At the same time, I created special bottles for each of the wedding party members as well as bottles for the siblings of the bride and groom and the living grandparents.

I asked Kellin and Amanda to share with me some special connections that they had to each of these people so that I could customize the bottles for them. I have to admit, some of them still have me giggling. These bottles were all present during the ceremony and represented the greater community beyond the small group attending. I also created a small, altered wedding box (not shown) for the couple which contained a bottle for their blended water and two antique handkerchiefs.

Above is the wedding table set up with the bottles, gathered things from the beach, the wedding bowl and water. Close-ups of the nearly finished bottles are below.
