So yesterday I posted this photo for my weekly Wordless Wednesday meme. So now I’m going to tell you about it since it is…
Sorry so late today. I keep having mini-disaster after mini-disaster here at work. Sigh. Luckily it is lunchtime so I’m taking a break.
This week, I went with a photo from Mike and I’s wedding. We were married on July 11th so it will be 2 months next week. It has been such a huge relief to have the wedding over with. No more worries about booking things, budget stress, or constant phone calls asking if I have done this or that. I finally feel as if I can have my life back and boy am I trying to catch up – scrapbooking, cooking, cleaning, you name it, I’m working on it. LOL.
This photo is from the vow exchange portion of the wedding ceremony. We were married with the traditional Catholic Mass but at a church who likes to stick with a strict schedule. We were out of there within 50 minutes and had 20 minutes for photos before being thrown out. I rather appreciated their strictness. Our priest at the mass is the pastor of the church. He likes to do his cermonies a tad differently. Rather than standing on the alter with you, he joins the crowd of friends and family as he is a “witness” as well rather than someone marrying us. So we had to stand at the top of the alter and turn around to face everyone. Talk about being really scared! I am not one who likes to be the center of attention so I was nervous the most about this part. I was calm all day till we got to the church and I remembered this part. Then the nerves came out! I was glad at that point that we kept the guest list small and that we had a little less than 100 people come because had the church been full I would have never made it! It was a great photo opp though so I am happy we did it this way and we have great pictures to remember our wedding by.

Very nice indeed. Unusual way for the priest to do it. But great for pictures. Hope you are going to share them.
Have a good day.

I noticed that yesterday and was going to leave a comment about what the heck the priest was doing wandering around away from your vows – but I decided to just be patient and wait for your post here. So thank you! I have been to Greek Orthodox weddings where the couple walks around in 3 circles and it is nice for the guests to see them but I’ve never seen a Catholic ceremony done in the manner yours was. I think it is a great idea – albeit nervewracking for you!
