Where is stones and flowers retreat

Joe announced to our guests that we still planned on having the ceremony outdoors, and if they wanted to join us then they were free to grab an umbrella and stand under the rain with us. Weeks after our wedding friends told us our ceremony was their favorite experience. With the rain coming down hard and not having mics, they really had to listen and be fully present for the moment. And standing outside under the rain for a wedding was something a lot of them will never do again.

It was one of those surreal moments during our wedding day. We knew the important vendors for us: photography of course, which was an easy decision for us as you can see from the photos! Besides food, we made sure we had a relationship with each of our vendors. Whether it was through email or face to face or because we already knew them.

We made it personal because we wanted to be sure we were comfortable with them. You May Also Like Ryan working on their vows on the morning of the wedding.
