Smith Family Chapel Wedding Ceremony

"The most important part of our ceremony is when we took Communion as a first act of marriage," Ellie says. They also had Jimmy McNeal sing "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" as the officiant prayed over them. A string quartet strummed quietly for the processional and recessional.
