It’s been brought to my attention that our ad management system has been acting a bit wonky for some readers and releasing drop down ads onto Once Wed. Even though advertising revenue allows us keep the lights on at Once Wed, it is very important to me that ads do not pop up or drop down automatically over your computer screen when reading our site.

We are working on this problem diligently and hope to have it resolved by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I apologize for the inconvenience it might have put on your viewing experience and appreciate everyone’s patience while we work out the kinks. Stay tuned for a lovely backyard wedding coming up next!

P.S. – This problem only seems to be happening on Internet Explorer, but if you are experiencing this issue on another browser or continue to experience this problem after tomorrow…please send me an email at oncewed <at> gmail <dot> com letting me know. Thanks!

Before dinner was served we all prayed together and Nathan and I renewed our vows. our own pastor from home lead the ceremony. We had really hoped that the emphasis for our party would be on eating and drinking together and everyone enjoying each others company rather than formality. The modest number of guests and the long communal tables really made this possible.

Thank you to Nathan and Rebecca for sharing their beautiful wedding with us. And to Tealily Photography for sending over her gorgeous images for us to swoon over!

nathan and i were married in november of last year in a tiny ceremony on a thursday. we’re both quite shy so it suited us perfectly but we still wanted to celebrate in some way with our families and friends who couldn’t be in attendance. we live in the blue mountains which is about an hour and a half out of sydney, however, we chose to hold our celebration in the city and stayed a few days.

we didn’t have a theme or “wedding colours” so we started by picking wheat as a motif. it is symbolic of eternal life, nourishment and fruitfulness. after a few months of searching i found a bakery large enough to throw our dinner party in and i couldn’t believe how perfect it was! we also carried the bread/wheat motif through to the invitations and nathan’s braided wheat wedding band.

Stay tuned for their beautiful reception coming up next!
