A day of Love in Nevada County
I got married this month. I got married after being with my partner for 19 years. Why get married now? Daniel and I get that question a lot. We don’t really have an answer for you, other than, it seemed like we shouldn’t wait any longer! If you’re reading this blog, I’m assuming you know me as a yoga teacher, but are curious about how the wedding went! First of all, thank you and I’m honored you’re here! Please keep reading to learn about the special day.
A day to give back to our family and friends:
Daniel and I both acknowledged that we had to get married for ourselves and our relationship. But we also recognized that we were having the ceremony and reception for the people that are our closest family and friends. We wanted it to be a special day for us and also for them.
My sister and I dancing down the aisle:
The ceremony was set up in a spiral setting and my sister, Jennifer and I danced down the aisle to the song “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge. I picked this song because I wanted the ceremony to start on a light-hearted and fun note!
Making the spiral journey:
The spiral idea came to me because Daniel and I wanted to look at everyone and involve them in the ceremony. It was a blast to dance down the aisle and give people hugs as I made my way to the center of ceremony. Plus every guest got to walk under the arch and walk through the spiral. It’s about the journey! Thank you to DJ Vince for this picture!
No bridesmaids, just friends:
I didn’t want bridesmaids because it felt like too much pressure and too old fashioned for my taste. There wasn’t a bridal party, just friends, friends, and more friends. These ladies have been by my friends since 1986 and they always put a smile on my face!
It was a happy day for everyone:
The afternoon ended with an olive leaf toss while we exited the Nevada County fairgrounds. Thanks again to DJ Vince for the photo and all the great music and MC for our day! It was a lovely day had by all!
