The Ceremony

Staci and Craig married late in the fall, as the leaves were just beginning to turn colors, but at the ranch the grass remained a vibrant, summery shade of green. During the ceremony in the inn's rustic parlour, guests could glimpse the still-lush scenery through the room's many windows and glass doors. The ceremony lasted just fifteen minutes, officiated by two long-time family friends. Craig and I managed not to cry during the service, remembers the bride. But as soon as we walked down the aisle together, we both lost it. We just started crying and laughing.
