Beautiful Wedding

Today I was reminded about a wedding that I went to during the summer. I received a link to the photos which captured the spirit of the day exactly as I experienced it. It was the simplest, most unfussy wedding that was so full of joy and genuine intent. It was about family, friends, love and two people who just wanted to be married to each other more than they wanted a wedding.

Happily the bride decided against wedding hair and let it fall naturally down her back and that seemed to epitomise the whole mood-nothing overdone, nothing restrained , everything happening with ease. I have never been to a wedding with such warm and generous guests -the groom said that he felt surrounded by love -thats how he described his wedding day. I think that the guests were a true reflection of the two halves of this newly wed couple and covered all areas of each of their lives.

The simple, pure ceremony took place in a circle with the couple in the middle and the bride said that she loved every single special second of it-she was clearly relaxed, in the moment and able to take everything in.

We later returned to this same room to enjoy a fantastic Eastern inspired feast-with Bills Puddings for dessert! Then a Bhangra Band appeared and brought everyone together with their fantastic dancing and music.

Getting Married from the Inside Out is about preparing emotionally and mentally for the transition from being single to married AND about creating a wedding that is AUTHENTIC to who you are. This was absolutely an authentic wedding that expressed, reflected, represented, and captured the essence and intentions of the two people it involved. This wasn't about impressing guests, living out a fairytale, being the centre of attention or proving their status-this was about declaring their love,a desire to be united as a couple and celebration of life and its great events. Personally, I will remember this day always-I feel privileged to have been invited to witness it-the impact of this great day on the couple can only be positive and it will sit quietly between them as a familiar and reassuring bond for years and years to come. I'll put money on it!
