This weekend is a celebration of a love that we have grown for one another over years of friendship. One that is rooted in grace and will continue through the rest of our lives. We are here in celebration because of the love of God, who in His goodness caused our journeys in life to merge together into one glorious union.This wedding is a lso a celebration of you— t he wedding guests, and the integral role that you have served and will continue to serve in our marriage. We couldn’t be more thankful to have you join us for this celebration.
THE PROCESSION WELCOME GIVING OF THE BRIDE PRAYER HOMILY EXCHANGE OF VOWS EXCHANGE OF RINGS COMMUNION PRONOUNCEMENT
When we began to dream up what our wedding would look like, one thing we continued to come back to was a desire that our guests would leave with newfound friendships. We couldn’t shake this idea that “summer camp” perfectly illustrated
THE KISS CLOSING REMARKS THE RECESSIONAL
TONIGHT’S ORDER OF EVENTS
what we longed for. You show up to an unfamiliar place with many people you know as strangers and acquaintances, only to leave with memories and relationships that will last long beyond this weekend. Like summer camp, we hope that our wedding will leave you inspired and full of comradery. Orcas Island is a special destination for us. It holds some of our fondest memories, and will only continue to hold more after this weekend. We are so happy that you chose to celebrate with us and we are overflowing with thanks that you sacrificed time and money to be here. It is not lost on us. This is more than simply our wedding. It is a chance for all of us to reflect on love, friendship, adventure, and wonder. Thanks for joining us for our journey and enjoy Camp Schuyler!
