The Ceremony

Josephine and Chris exchanged vows they’d written themselves, which the bride says she felt was one of the most meaningful parts of the wedding. “We worked on them for the whole ten months leading up to the wedding,” she says, advising “make sure that yours reflect all of your feelings, thoughts, and aspirations. Those words, and the feeling behind them, will inspire you both for the rest of your lives together. They are the words that bind.”
