After the vows, we did had the Arrhae Ceremony, or coin exchange. We had both dads present each one of us with coins and then we exchanged them.
Mr. Joey had some problems getting his coins back into his pouch, so I had to help him.
We also did the unity candles. We ask our moms to light the first candles. MIL Joey is laughing because she almost lit the unity candle.
We took the lit taper candles to light the unity candle. We still have these awesome candle holders from CB2. I love them.
And with a final blessing…
and a church kiss…
We were married!!! There aren’t any good pictures of us walking out of the chapel, but there are some nice ones of us leaving the building and heading towards the plaza.
We did a big group picture with our guests in the plaza and then we all took off for the reception.
I have to say, our ceremony was perfect. It was just the right length, it was traditionally Catholic, but still had enough of us in it.
P.S. We got to the reception with time to spare!

I love the photo of the two of you leaving the chapel- definitely blow it up & frame it! What a wonderful ceremony… Your wedding recaps have been awesome so far
@Miss French Fries: Aren’t those great? I want to get a few more for our dining room table. They have some great shapes.
I love the leaving shot too. We may actually hang a print of it in our house.
Your hallway shot is beautiful!!! The lighting is so perfect.

I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
