Traditional Methodist Ceremony
“St. Paul’s architecture and design reminded us of the Westminster Abbey in London,” Simi says. “We didn’t have to add a single item of decoration because it was naturally beautiful and had a great ambiance. The Rev. Matthew Russell was accommodating and hilarious, so we knew from the get-go that he was a perfect match to be our officiant.” The couple’s traditional Methodist ceremony included a hymn from both of their parents’ weddings, a unity-candle ritual and a bagpiper performing the processional and recessional (a nod to Kingsley’s love for all things Scottish).
