LaKieta And Josh's Wedding Ceremony Script. Wood Burning Unity Ceremony. Falls Park Gazebo, Pendleton, IN.

LaKieta And Josh's Wedding Ceremony Script

Lakieta and Josh were married on Easter Sunday.  They had an absolutely perfect day to get married!  It was a perfect warm and sunny Sunday after a very cold and rainy Saturday.  Guests were able to wear shorts and even the ducks waddled by enjoying the day.  Lakieta and Josh rented the Gazebo for the ceremony and pictures and the community room for their reception.  With help from friends and family it was a perfect day. 

NEVER  let anyone tell you you can't have a nice wedding on a budget!  

This ceremony is very short and sweet, as they wanted it.  What they did to be a little different was a wood burning ceremony.  They got a big wooden S, for their last name, wood burned the date into it and then outlined their initials in the middle.  During the ceremony they burned their initials while music played in the background.  This is a variation on a branding ceremony.  Ranching couples often create their own branding iron and cristen it on their wedding day.
