Finally, it was time for the ceremony to start.
The cellist was ready to go:
And he started playing:
Please indulge me and listen to the soundtrack of the event.
The glasses and wine were set; one glass from my family, and one from Mr. Peep’s.
The guests had been seated:
The programs had been handed out:
The Rabbi entered with our Chuppah holders.
As did our Groomsman, Groomswoman/SIL Peep, and Best Man:
FIL Peep and Step-MIL Peep entered.
At that moment, Mr. Peep asked his Mom to help hold him up.
To help get him down the aisle.
Hugs were exchanged.
Mama Peep made her entrance with BIL Peep:
The girls walked in:
MOH Peep walked in with her suddenly shy daughter (who was still carrying her bouquet):
And finally, the show stoppers: flower girl Peep…
followed closely behind by her little brother.
And then, I found myself alone, with Papa Peep.
It was our turn to take the walk down the aisle.
I tried to look around and take in the moment:
But I could only focus on one person:
And after a quick hug:
I found myself in the moment I had been preparing myself for the previous 16 months… or was that 29 years?
The feelings overwhelm me to this day. It was everything I could ever imagine.
Up next, the ceremony starts, and I try to stay focused.

Oh, that’s all so beautiful and romantic. I love the softness of the wedding against the backdrop of the city. It’s really awesome. Great programs too, btw!
I love the shot of Mr. Peep seeing you come down the aisle! I always love looking at the groom at that point. 
Beautiful! I think from now on recaps should always include music, especially the walk down the aisle, lol…it really made the experience!
gorgeous! I am going to cry
Those children are precious, and the little one carrying the bouquet while her mom has the basket is such a sweet picture
you are stunning!
Wow, what a beautiful recap! I love the shot of you hugging Papa Peep!
Your smile is infectious, Peeps. I love the picture of Mr. Peep seeing you coming down the aisle. Through the nerves you can see a lot of love.
Great post - totally made me tear up…and I couldn’t even hear the music!!
Mrs. Peep - I love your recaps; you look so beautiful and like Mrs. Cookie said, you have such a radiant smile!
I’m curious about your standing to the right of your groom. Usually you see the bride on the left… is it a cultural thing or did you make a choice to switch it? I have no idea why the bride is generally on the left, that’s why I’m curious as to the switch!
Oh how I love your recaps. And seriously, Mr. Peep has one of the kindest faces I’ve ever seen. Your whole wedding seems very very sweet.
Wow, the pictures of you and your dad really made me tear up!
YAY!!! I heart the Beatles after seeing the LOVE Cirque du Soileil show in Vegas in May. It’s on the top of my list for wedding music too
Congrats Peep!
love your recap… what a perfect song to go with it too! fabulous pics mrs peep! love it!
love the pictures and the music, your story has been such a wonderful one to follow, not only because I’m also in SF, but because you both planned such a lovely wedding. Can’t wait to see the rest of these, thanks so much for sharing!
PS. Were those real rose petals you used on the aisle? Are they fresh or freeze dried?
I know I’ve commented on this before, but I have to say I love your recaps! I get the tingle of tears with each post because I feel the emotion and intimacy of your day. On a more superficial note: your bustle and eye-makeup are rockin
It’s amazing. I absolutely love the overcast sky in your pics, it brings such a nice quality to the pictures. The picture of your sister carrying her daughter down the aisle is adorable. Congrats, it looks like the ceremony was very charming and endearing.
yay! I love the huppah and the petal-lined aisle. everything is perfect!
So lovely and beautiful! Do you know where your mom and MIL (future at the time) got their dresses? My mom is still searching for the perfect dress for my October wedding and I loved both of their dresses.
