I'm still participating in the "Completing Him Challenge" on the Women Living Well blog. This weeks challenge is "Remember the day that you entered you sacred vows. Post pictures from that day and tell your story".We were married on a beautiful summer day in June at the Von Bryan estate in Sevierville, TN. The estate used to be a bed and breakfast but is now rented out like other large cabins. We were very excited to bring our family and friends together at the cabin and spend time with them before our special day. The day was absolutely perfect. There was a bright blue sky and a gorgeous view of the Smoky Mountains. Everything went off without a hitch.
One of my favorite parts of the ceremony was pouring our unity sand. While looking up different "unity ceremony" ideas before the wedding, I stumbled across something called the Unity Cross. I loved that idea because it really focused on God being the center of your marriage and uniting the couple. The only problem was that there was only one company that made it and it was very expensive. Long story short.....we came up with our own unity cross by combing a lot of different ideas that we found online. We found a shadow box type picture frame, glued a cross on it, and then filled it during the wedding with unity sand. It was perfect.
The most important part of that day was marrying Jamie. Everything in the ceremony could have gone wrong, but it would have been ok with me. I knew that us making our commitment to each other and to God was what the day was all about.
