They had been together for around 5 years, and finally chose to take that next step into married life. It’s such a special moment to see two people so entwined together make a commitment to each other. Dianna and Joe wanted to have a very small wedding with just their family and close friends, and they got exactly that. It’s such a different look for me, as I’m used to a 500+ wedding every other weekend, so it was very refreshing to see a gathering like this. With such a small group, Dianna and Joe were able to share their special day personally with those they love, and you could definitely feel the love between everyone that day (especially these two!).

Some getting ready time…

Here’s a nice rendition of the wishing well…shaped like a cake! (It was surrounded by smaller cakes for the reception)

The pastor had received the rings earlier without the knowledge of Dianna and Joe…just before this he asked for the rings and there was a brief moment of silence/searching by Joe before he finally pulled it out.
