As a daughter with a wonderful stepfather, I love seeing blended marriage ceremonies. Jenny and her son, Ethan, were doing just fine before Evan came along, but now life is even better.
Instead of unity candles, Jenny, Evan and Ethan held a sand ceremony to symbolize their family becoming one. It was very cool to see Ethan participate. (Of course, it was even cooler to see Ethan dance with his friends later in the evening.)
I had a great time and especially enjoyed the grilled peach salad with goat cheese and raspberry vinaigrette. I loved it so much that I later recreated it with nectarines and added toasted pecans at a 4th of July picnic. Yummo!
Well, enough from me chatting about culinary adventures. Onto this gorgeous wedding, which happened to also have BEAU-TI-FUL light and fantastic friends and family.
