Miss Capitol Hill Wedding Recap - The Ceremony

Now it's time for the ceremony - 

All photos below the work of Linda Wallace 

^We began with the reading of i carry your heart with me 

^In case you are wondering this is the look a bride gives when someone walks in late during the first reading 

^But the groom is paying attention!

^Ok, I'm paying attention now too. Both fiance and I got a little teary during this reading 

^Pastor Garth says a few words about why we are there 

^Time for more readings - I loved that our readers stood up where they were sitting to read. The church was small enough that everyone could hear, so they didn't need to be at the front with a microphone. 

^I like this shot of my dress and veil 

^Once the readings were done we moved up onto the alter to do our vows and the ring exchange. Fiance was crying when he said his vows which I think got everyone choked up. 

^Fiance putting my ring on my hand

^This is me putting his ring on.  He has huge knuckles so I really had to force it on...it was pretty funny as you can tell from the looks on our faces. 

^Our guests were snapping away 

^The Kiss

^Fiance wiping his nose after the kiss... no one ever thinks that the groom might get emotional and need handkerchiefs so we weren't prepared with any tissues! 

^It's official!

^Coming down the aisle 

^Outside the chapel

^Now we turned to greet our guests and get all the well wishes 

^Needless to say people were happy! 

^There were lots of hugs and kisses all around

Next up...the getaway!
