The Ceremony

Amy and Cole wed in a courtyard overlooking the pool, with the hills, lake, and sunset behind them. Their family, who acted as the house party, stood around them. “We didn’t have traditional bridesmaids and groomsmen,” Amy explains. “Instead, we had our parents, siblings, and their spouses.” The friend who had initially set up Amy and Cole gave a reading that she had written herself, combining famous movie moments about love, life, and relationships. The couple also had two other close friends read scripture while they were taking communion.
