Dominic and Sarah’s wedding was wonderful! The weather was perfect, the High Mass was beautiful, the music was inspiring and the couple looked lovely and happy!
I wanted to share with you these pictures. Most of them are taken by me. The newlyweds will end up having beautiful pictures and I may share some at a later time.
You will see in the following pictures the Marriage Crucifix. This Tradition was just introduced to us and Dominic and Sarah used it in their Nuptial Ceremony. I wanted to include a link to show you what it was about so I googled it. I found a great article on it and lo and behold!…the picture they used in their article was of my first daughter’s wedding. I have seen this particular picture so many times used in Traditional Catholic Wedding articles! Neat! Anyway, here is the link. It is a lovely custom, you WILL want to know about it!

What a beautiful day! Congratulations to all. thanks for sharing the pictures.
Very very beautiful, you are a very blessed mother and grandmother!!!!! Congratulations!!!! I have one calendar that has the Feast of our Lady of the Seven Joys on this past Saturday. A feast apparently honored/started by the Franciscans.
What a lovely day to be married, congratulations again!!!!
The colors are stunning, everything was so vibrant!!!!
Does Virginia have an embroider machine?? If so what does she use and how does she like it? If she was going to get one again would it be the same or would it be another? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Mary, Sorry I was tardy on this reply. 🙂 No, Virginia doesn’t have an embroidery machine. The skirt to the little dress she made Emma was a skirt she ordered for herself off of Ebay. It was too short so she remade it into a dress for Emma instead. It already had the lovely embroidery on it.
Thank you for sharing the custom. I was crying while reading about it.
Congratulations to you all.
I don’t think you saw my question in my post above. 😉 If you have a moment I am very very interested to find out if she has an embroidery machine. I have been looking into the different makes and models and it really helps hearing from ladies who have used one and what they like or would like better. 🙂 Look forward to hearing more about it. 😀 Thank you!
How beautiful ! Congratulations ! Prayers for the newly married couple !
