Day 6: Wedding Day!!

After breakfast, Hannah asked her close girlfriends to join her for a walk on the beach before she got ready. We walked a ways, found a cabana, and covered her in prayer asking that God continue to bless Hannah and Garrett and to continue to use them to do the same in the lives of those they do life with. We asked that God give Hannah peace as the ceremony got nearer and that she and Garrett could really savor the day with the people that love them the most.

While Hannah met with the wedding planner to go over some last minute details, Collin and I got lunch at the adults only poolside restaurant. It was lovely just to share a meal outside!

Hannah and Garrett asked that no phones or cameras be present for the ceremony and asked that we be fully present. Hannah and Garrett compiled an outline loosely based off the Wedding Ceremony liturgy from Every Moment Holy and Meg filled in the blanks walking us through the best qualities of each Hannah and Garrett and why we all are so in support of their union. She did a wonderful job. Hannah looked gorgeous in the dress she and her mom created together. Carolyn kept telling me how she loved every single minute and hiccup that went in to bringing that dress to life and that she'd waited Hannah's whole life to be able to create that with her. It was so special to get so much quality time to connect with Hannah's family and friends and to celebrate her and Garrett. Everything was so beautiful.

The food at the ceremony was really nice. The thing that stands out the most to me was a roasted cactus! I don't remember many other specifics, but had to mention that before it escapes me.

Love this girl so much. Thrilled to get to celebrate her and Garrett committing to a lifetime of love, support, curiosity, and adventure. I can't wait to see all God has in store for them.
