More Wedding

We wrote our own vows and this is where I got really emotional.





















































































































































































So beautiful. Everytime I look at her I think she gets prettier and prettier.




























































































At this part in the ceremony we took sand from underneath each other's feet and poured them together in a traditional Hawaiian shell....No not really, it was just a shell but it was to signify our paths becoming one now. It was a really nice part.





























































































































































The j0ke was that I (Courtney) scooped up a tiny amount of sand compared to Mike's big handful. The sand signified our pasts and I'm laughing because he has a much bigger past than mine! ;)























So I had to dig a bit deeper and add some more sand to mine to even things out!






































My dad and Simone sent us a beautiful arrangement of orchids that arrived on our wedding day, so I used one of the branches of cymbidium as my bouquet.





































































We got a hand carved(really) wooden dish and had in inscribed with the date, so I can always remember our anniversary, and brought the sand home. We also got 2 hand carved turtles. One for Aidan and one for Rowan. They sit in the sand.
