Sometimes the hamsters save me from myself, too. 😉

I finally got a marriage ceremony under my belt and it is addictive! Sorry to dig up this thread but at this point I’d marry a couple of zombies!

So?

What kind of a wedding was it, as in, how unique or individual?😛

In 72 hours I will be the Right Reverent Ru =) and I am seriously thinking of putting a crowbar in the wallet for the Doctor of Divinity degree to go along with it.

Hetero couple, first marriage for both, in their 20’s but both are EOD/bomb techs, as seen in _Hurt Locker_ (only USAF rather than Army). Small wedding, about 50 guests, outdoor venue at an Inn in Wasatch National Forest. Even though the staff managed to drop and ruin the top of the 3 layer wedding cake the couple was cool - they’ve dealt w/ FAR worse in their deployments! Easily the least controlling bride I’ve ever seen, including me.  
I found a [lovely, simple script](http://lowimpactwedding.blogspot.com/2007/04/ceremony-script.html) online and edited it to suit them, then added in a handfasting part at her request. I have it in a Google doc if ever anyone else might like to see it!

That’s beautiful. If I ever get married, I hope I have someone as cool as you to perform the ceremony. 🙂

Out of curiosity…how did they find you to do the ceremony?

I’ll be there w/ bells on if you ask me! The ULC ordination’s just as good in Canada so far as I know.

I’m their boss’s wife, as it happens, so I’ve gotten to know them pretty well over the last 2 years.

If anyone would like to see a few pictures from the ceremony itself, [here they are](http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o155/portia327/Tolleminicis%20Wedding/); the password’s millcreek. FYI, the best man’s holding the four cords we’d just used in the handfasting. Bride’s idea and entirely devoid of its original meaning or significance.

Flipping through the 100+ pics of the ceremony I’m practically invisible; on reflection that’s a good thing!
