Obviously the most important part of the wedding is the ceremony right?

It happens SO fast but ultimately the whole purpose of the wedding is to end up marrying the person you love, and that all goes down in about 10-20 minutes out of a 6+ hour wedding. Craziness! And actually, since we had our marriage license signed prior to the ceremony, technically we were already legally married before all the fun started… (but shhh, no one is supposed to know that!!)

We had an amazing ceremony, though. Our friend Trevor played ‘CLEAR’ by NEEDTOBREATHE for our processional song, my bridesmaid Kate sang ‘Pieces’ by Steffany Gretzinger (it was SO good), and our friend/Pastor Jeremy performed an awesome service. It seriously was perfect!

Anyway, here are the photos from that awesome (but super short) part of our wedding. Next week I’ll share the photos from the party!
