Saturday afternoon after a morning of rain showers the ceremony of Vanessa and Adam was about to begin.
I was a little worried because the ceremony was to take place at an outdoor garden at the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens, however the sun was shining and the weather could not have been any better.
I’ve performed hundreds of weddings and met so many couples, but every now and then, I get a little choke up when performing a ceremony. When Vanessa and Adam joined me at I could feel their energy and love for each other.
Love is genuine, honest, and open, compassionate and kind, passionate and blind, love doesn’t know space or time, nor look through jealous eyes, and in the modified words of Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never dies.”
Vanessa and Adam had a family sand ceremony. Both of them individually collected sand from the beaches where they spent time during their youth before Vanessa knew there was Adam and before Adam knew there was Vanessa.
Thank you Vanessa and Adam for allowing me to be part of your day.
