The Ceremony Decor

On the afternoon of the wedding, guests traveled a country road to the small country Catholic church situated on a hill where two pinecone wreaths hung from the doors. Since Erik grew up Lutheran and Maribeth was raised Catholic, they married in a ceremony officiated by his family Lutheran minister from Minnesota and Maribeth's family friend, a Catholic deacon. At the conclusion of the ceremony, a recessional was led by a bagpiper in honor of Maribeth's Irish/Scottish heritage.
