Treely, Madly, Deeply: The Ceremony - Part One

Oh, Hive, I am so excited to share this post with you all.

Our Ceremony is completely and totally handcrafted. Rev. Fun wrote the entire thing on her own and Mr. Palm Tree and I knew nothing about it until it was happening. Mr. Palm Tree and I wrote our own vows (which, surprisingly, was his idea - long ago, I brought up the topic and he was all, "well, of course we're writing our own vows." Easy peasy), which we kept secret from each other. Friend B read I Like You, by Sandol Stoddard Warburg (another Weddingbee find!). It was so unique and freaking perfect. I love every single second of it, which I think is evident in our photographs.

Sidenote #1: I'm using real names in this post because I don't want anything to take away from the authenticity of these words. They are so powerful to me and I hope that can come through as you read, even just a little. 

Rev. Fun:
Friends and family, welcome to the beginning of a day that has been 6,135 days in the making. We are here today not to witness the beginning of what will be, but to honor what already is.
