It was a Robin Hood sort of a wedding in a natural woodland setting. We wanted our love to honour what God has given rather than the world of money and bling.
When heartfelt takes over from consumptive greed and ego, our marriage becomes a perfect picture in a minimalist frame.
Let the wedding be simple, for just as a minimalist frame accentuates the beauty of a photograph, the minimalist wedding accentuates the beauty of our love.
A gaudy frame detracts from the picture within; a gaudy wedding does the same for the loving bond of the blessed couple.
The love of a marriage is simple and pure, it is as the air and water needed daily rather than the firework. That's what we wanted to show in our simple wedding, that by being so steady with one another we could remain together all of our days.
Our wedding was a celebration of love, love each other and of all those who came to share it with us. It was a day of reaffirming our bonds.
As Gramps always said, if money is centre stage at the wedding, the marriage is in stormy seas from the get go.
