Old Cathedral Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony was held at the Basilica of St. Louis, King (fondly known as the Old Cathedral) in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, right under the arch. The church’s roots date to 1834, making it the oldest building in the city. There was family history at the church too. The priest who married the couple was Melissa’s dad’s cousin—the same priest who had married her parents 32 years earlier.
