The Ceremony

Noelle and Chris married amid the picturesque landscape at La Mariposa. “The sounds of the birds and the fountain in the pond also added to the intimate setting,” Noelle explains. The couple chose their vows from a list provided by their officiant, but opted to keep them a secret from one another until the ceremony. “When we read them during the ceremony,” Noelle remembers, “we learned that we had chosen the same vows.” The ceremony also featured two readings and the lighting of the unity candle.
