Our Wedding Day: Ceremony Part I

Our ceremony was one of my favorite parts of our wedding. It was really important to us to do it our way and skip over some traditional aspects and include others. For example, we had a small wedding party and around 100 guests, so we opted to do away with ushers and let people seat themselves.

My brother escorted my grandparents and doubled back for my mother before joining the best man, officiant and celebrant on the front porch steps. Big Spoon escorted his parents and then took his place on the steps, followed shortly by my sisters, who were my only bridesmaids.

All of this happened during the same song - "All I Want Is You" by U2.

My father walked me "down the aisle" to Ingrid Michaelson's version of "Can't Help Falling (In Love With You)".
