Your Wedding, Your Way!

This ceremony was VERY unique! It was done on horseback and had a hand fasting unity ritual. I absolutely loved every minute of it and the horse kisses after were the cherry on top! 

Here is their ceremony:

We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments. We are here to witness the unification of two families. This is a special time of celebration that 💙 and 🩷 will always remember, and because of this, they are thankful you are here to share their joy.

Let us pray. Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. Help us love in practical ways so that nothing can divide us. May our words be kind and our thoughts gracious. May we remain humble enough to ask for forgiveness and wise enough to freely give. Amen.

What is the difference between I like you and I love you? When you like a horse you just pet it. But when you love a horse you water them daily. This is how love is supposed to work, always remember to tend to your marriage daily.

💙 please look at 🩷. Do you 💙 promise to love 🩷 freely without restrictions, honestly without deceit, now and without hesitation? Do you promise to accept her just as she is, scared to ride, but willing to just show you just how much she loves you? Sharing her fear, supporting her through all emotions, good and bad, happy and sad until death do you part?

I do.

💙, the path to 🩷’s heart is shared with God, do you promise to follow it and share in it faithfully?

I do.

🩷 please look at 💙. Do you 🩷 promise to love 💙 freely without restrictions, honestly without deceit, now and without hesitation? Do you promise to accept him just as he is, stubborn and hard working but willing to show you just how much he loves you? Sharing his fear, supporting him through all emotions, good and bad, happy and sad until death do you part?

I do.

🩷, the path to 💙’s heart is paved with hoofprints, do you promise to follow it and share in it faithfully?

I do.

Please exchange rings. These rings represent the vows and promises you have exchanged. They reflect the commitment those words inspire for all of your hopes and dreams for the future.

Please join hands. With this cord, I connect two souls as one. Just as this cord, the two of you are stronger together than you are separate or alone. With this ceremony, promise to give each other your heart. Promise to never walk alone. Promise that your love will shelter each other until death do you part. 

I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs 💙 and 🩷 "Lastname". 💙 you may kiss your bride. 

Now go and live like someone left the gate open.
