Okay, let’s rewind a bit. I JUST got my DVD of photos from our civil ceremony, which happened September 18th. I already showed you some teasers, but I thought I would do a more complete recap on the day since I have all of my pictures in now! I apologize if it is a bit repetitive, but I figured a refresher wouldn’t be so bad since it was over a month ago.

I look at these photos and the words that come to mind are mostly “sweet and simple.” Our civil ceremony was very low-key as we only had 12 people attending. Yes, my in-laws were there, and I didn’t say it before in the last post, but they were visibly miserable the whole time they were there, but behaved themselves for the most part.

My lovely details—they each made me so happy!

Momma Socks and BM Lea helped me get ready, and then Dad Socks walked in to see his youngest daughter as a bride:

Dad Socks looks so handsome, doesn’t he? We made it to the little gazebo where our family and friends looked on, and our officiant, Ben Hickey, launched into a beautiful marriage address. If you are in New Jersey or the surrounding area, I highly recommend him as an officiant. Our ceremony was secular, but he is available to do religious ceremonies as well, and I thought he was wonderful!

As you can tell, our ceremony was fun, light-hearted, and full of laughter!

We exchanged vows and rings…

And kissed!! It was a short and to-the-point ceremony, but it was absolutely perfect!

Next up: some formal photos after the ceremony!
