The Ceremony

Teddi and Keith wed in an outdoor, sunset ceremony at The Gatehouse at Lionsgate Center. The couple personalized their ceremony by adding unique blessings, including a rock ceremony (where their fathers dropped river rocks into a large vase as their officiant read the names of loved ones who had passed away), a hand washing ceremony (where the couple’s mothers poured water over their clasped hands and into the vase with the rocks), and a unity ceremony with bamboo stalks (where each of the attendants placed a stalk of bamboo into the vase, ending with two stalks that formed a heart at the center).
