erich & vivian

i loved meeting erich and vivian. vivian was incredibly sweet. she and her family made me feel so welcome as this was the first time i'd met them. the ceremony was lovely and centered around god in such an amazing way. i love this, there was a mix up with the wedding bands when they ordered them. erich and vivan weren't happy with them so while they wait for the right ones to arrive they chose to use cigar bands in the ceremony. there's a history behind this. when a groom wasn't able to afford a ring or it was a spontaneous engagement a cigar band was used until a proper wedding band could be purchased. what a fun way to make a frustrating situation positive. i only spent an afternoon with erich and vivian but have a feeling this is indicative of who this couple is. here are the high lights from the day.
