‘With the recent changes to
the law in the USA making
same-sex marriage legal in
all states, we both agree
that the ruling has solidified
that we are not second-class
citizens. It has shown that the
majority of the US population
believes in equality and that
all citizens matter.’

sunny day, perfect for a garden wedding with a beautiful
Victorian bed and breakfast as our backdrop.
With our family and closest friends, we married in Asheville,
north Carolina, at A Bed of roses bed and breakfast. Small and
simple yet intimate – it was exactly what we wanted.
We dressed in coordinated outfits of light grey suit trousers
and matching vests, with white dress shirts and light dusty pink
ties. A boutonnière added just the right touch for both – a soft
pink rose set against a delicate thistle.
Our officiant, Jerry Conner, delivered beautiful vows of love
and helped us ‘tie the knot’ with the exchange of rings and a
handfasting ceremony. Memories have been made and many
more will be created – but we both hold fast to our love for
one another.

It says to all that the USA does in fact believe in
family, in whatever capacity that may be.
