A blended family wedding with two brides and a long-lost ring

Nicole and Julie had a lovely outdoor ceremony in Washington full of emotional and sweet touches. They had lots of DIY projects and planned the whole shebang in only two months. One very sweet surprise for Julie was during the ceremony when Nicole and Julie’s father surprised her with her grandmother’s ring, which was thought to be lost.

Mariangela & Ryan’s beach brunch vow renewal

This pair are celebrating more than 14 years of happy marriage: they’re also celebrating a big change in faith. They started this new path with a beach-side ceremony and brunch-style potluck. They had singers at the ceremony, a sunny ceremony in a rainy day, and an epic and romantic beach run a la Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.
