Andrew And Yuri
we selected several passages of the
Bible that resonated with us and i wrote
my vows. Andrew chose vows that
Bishop Blake had offered – he was truly
amazing. we chose all the music for the
ceremony and linked some of the songs
to what was happening at each moment.
we were really nervous and very
anxious when the day finally came. Our
desire was to have a flawless wedding,
where everybody could feel the love. So
in the morning we were both stressed,
but as we walked down the aisle, all the
anxiety and stress just disappeared and
from that point we simply enjoyed that
day like we hadn’t enjoyed any other in
our entire lives. it felt like tasting the
most amazing dessert from start to
finish and all of our hard work and
preparation paid off in incredible ways.
Our daughters walked us down the
aisle and we came in separately; first
me, then Andrew. My son was my best
man and Andrew’s oldest and dearest
friend was his. we kept the blessing as
the biggest surprise of the event. no one
had a clue and not even we could have
predicted the reaction to it. Bishop Blake
moved us and our guests deeply. when
he called for us to feel the love in the
room, we all felt so much love around
us. it was godly.
we loved the whole day and had
many comments from our guests about
‘As we walked
down the aisle,
all the anxiety
and stress just
disappeared and
from that point
we simply
enjoyed that day
like we hadn’t
enjoyed any
other in our
en re lives.’
