The focus of the day (of course) was the ceremony. After over a year of planning, the big day was finally here. In less than an hour we were to be wed!After a week of stress about the weather, you can see that the sun shined bright during our ceremony. We did, however, arrange for a tent because of the forecast…

Mr. Peppermint and I both asked a special friend to pass out programs and petal cones to guests as they arrived:

I won’t bore you with our processional (set to Canadian Brass’s instrumental version of “All You Need Is Love”). The music changed to “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” to cue my entrance…

Mr. Peppermint waits…

It’s really happening….

For much of the ceremony, Mr. Peppermint and I held hands (at the minister’s suggestion). It was so nice to feel his comforting touch:

You may now kiss the bride…

Keep the photos coming! I’m still in complete and total awe of just how gorgeous it was! And I can feel the warm desert heat and realize how beautiful it all was on that bluff!
