Doing Things Differently "We asked one of my oldest and closest friends, Randy, to officiate. He was brilliant - now people call him The Reverend Randall! The women in our family spoke during the ceremony. We provided them with a word representing an aspect of our relationship, and gave them the freedom to run with what it meant to them and what they wanted to say from that feeling. We had the men in our family, as well as a few of our closest friends, involved in our grand entrance as a couple. Kellen has a collection of swords, and we wanted them to hold them up for us to walk under into the meadow for the reception. We needed a few more swords, so we rented them from an amazing place called Sword & Stone. Instead of a guest book we had a large scroll with a quill for signing, and our officiant read from a scroll as well.”
