June 1st Summer Wedding Season Kick-off!
Congratulations to Steve and Ayumi Garcia who tied the knot June 1st on a slightly hazy (this is great for pics!), summer afternoon at Anaheim Hills Golf Club in Southern California.
My friend, Reverend Bruce Danzara, officiated a simple and sweet service that included a Sand Ceremony, which is a perfect alternative to a unity candle…sand doesn’t blow out! The couple set aside a moment during the ceremony to fill a small glass heart with two colors of sand that made a really cool pattern once finished. They topped the jar off with a cork and now have their “unity candle” to display wherever they like in their new home. Reverend Danzara is great about offering this special service to couples, he even brings the conch shells, heart container, and sand to help out with the details.
Ayumi requested Canon in D to be played as long as possible, because this is her all time favorite song. So, I performed it for both the parent’s entrance and the bridal party, all the way up until the flowergirls and ring bearer made it up the aisle. Then she processed in with the traditional Bridal Chorus.
