The Perfect Ceremony
I had a lot of concerns with the challenges of keeping our ceremony unique to us. There were many challenges;
Like simultaneously keeping it Christ oriented enough to appease my Christian parents and the ties that I hold to the church with out making my agnostic husband uncomfortable with the "churchiness". We wanted it to incorporate some prayers and some mentions of the lord with out it being a sermon. We wanted to focus on our story and our love and Benjie navigated that PERFECTLY. After the ceremony my father told me a couple of times "that officiant was so great!" A big compliment from my Christian minister father. And my husband was so happy with the focus on us and nature. Literally the perfect combination.
The second challenge is that we had to book Benjie less than 2 months before our wedding he was quick to get out questionnaires about our story and our details so that he could get everything perfect, and he did.
And thirdly, it rained through the entire ceremony. Just a cold drizzle he was freezing I'm sure, his notes were completely obscured by raindrops and he still managed to smile engage the crowd and do a great job 100% would recommend.
