Weβre sharing this memory from 2 years ago. Sweet story. π₯Ήπ
We've had a few shy couples lately, and that's okay. If you don't want us to share your names and photos on social media, we understand. So, we're sharing some word pictures instead. A few weeks ago Rev. Tammy Russell officiated for one couple who had been together for, as the bride put it, "a million years," and just wanted to make it legal. They came dressed very casually in jeans and did not even bother with rings or any of the other trappings. Likely they expected it to be a semi-non-event, merely a formality so they could obtain legal status for practical reasons. I wonder if they did not expect it to touch their hearts, bringing happy tears. Though the blue heron that sometimes lands in the little creek outside out windows wasn't there for this particular occasion, we share a picture of it, for effect. We extend our best wishes to this officially newlywed couple for many more "forever" years together. π
