A Wedding in Early November

Mr. Husband and I were
so glad to be invited to a wedding where we live!


It was beautiful, as I find all Orthodox weddings to be...


I always find the crowning at the end
to be the most moving parts of an Orthodox wedding.


 At the reception there were three
'first dances' that were quite moving,
the bride and groom,
the father and bride
the mother and groom.


Very beautiful!


The 'sweetheart's table'


Their wedding icons.


This rusynk was made by a dear friend
of theirs and the couple was hand-tied with it.


It was a lovely afternoon and evening!

Beautiful Wedding!

 
On Sunday July 21 2013
Mr. Husband and I witnessed a very
beautiful wedding.
*
I reminded us so much of our own wedding.
*
Their icons from a local monastery,
the prayer rope from the same monastery.
The sharing of clergy doing the wedding.
*
Beautiful Orthodox sermons.
*
They were married on
the feast day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
Most of the clergy wore blue to honour
the Mother of God.

It was very beautiful.
