Rebecca and Sterling chose to do a Ring Warming Ceremony. The idea behind this is that each person at the wedding is truly special and integral to couple…

...and by passing the rings through the crowd, guests and family have a chance to ‘warm’ them with love, blessings and well-wishes.

During his toast, Rebecca’s Dad told a story about a 4-year-old girl with a big, generous heart and then, voice trembling and tears about to spill, he spoke to the groom: “Sterling, this is the kind of woman you are marrying.”

To quote the bride, Rebecca had this to say about Sterling, “He is supportive of my dreams and gives me the space to explore them.” And what a rare thing that is to find! With it, I believe Rebecca captured something essential to true love and a happy marriage.
