AN INEXPENSIVE WAY TO SET THE AMBIANCE!

            This is an inexpensive wedding idea that I simply had to share with all you Bride To B's.
      If you are planning an outdoor or barn type wedding I believe this would be the icing on the cake
      ...You buy the mason jars, punch a hole in the middle, tie a big knot in the cord and make the
      cord the length you want. Buy those battery candles and put them in the jars. A bunch of those jars
       hanging from a tree outside or inside of the barn will look so cool and they will set the mood
                                                                 and thyme of your wedding.

                                                                         Materials need:
                                           Mason Jars (can be all one color or assorted colors),
                                                                            Twine/Cord,
                                                        Tealight or Medium Size Battery Candles.
                                                       That's it and your ready to set the ambiance.

Scott & Robyn's Blended Family Ceremony




























It is amazing to be a part of a new family being joined together through love and a committed marriage.This intimate ceremony took place in Greenwood, Indiana at Winchester Place on July 26, 2013 at 4:30pm. As you can see from the lower left, captured by their photographer, that emotions were high for everyone, including me. I try to keep it together most of the time, but couldn't help myself this time. The special bond Robyn already had with Scott's daughter was too precious and incredibly meaningful. The way Emma looked at Robyn was priceless! The special charm bracelet that Robyn gave Emma showed how well she knew Emmas and was already invested in her life. Robyn was excited that Emma was included in the marriage to Scott, Emma's dad.  It is such a blessing to be a part of these moments as a wedding officiant of Happy Ever After.
