A Festival Wedding in the Woods – Noelle and Braden

It's so beautiful. I love it. Can I see the back? Of course I do. Oh my god. I do like it. Where did this even come from? What is this? How do you always end up like a fairy tale? I've known both of you guys long enough to know that you guys have made each other way better people than you were six or eight years ago. This morning, when I first saw you Brayden, tears just came to my eyes because I've never seen anyone in my life so incredibly devoted to making a day so beautiful for his bride. You pour that devotion into everything you do. Here's the beautiful thing about Brayden. Brayden is insane. And he believes in the impossible. He gets so invested and he falls so in love with every situation he's in. Brayden, I love you. Because when I doubt and when I think things are impossible, you show me that it's okay to hope and it's okay to dream. It's okay to never give up and to barrel through the impossible. It's just beautiful. It's beautiful to see someone do that and it's beautiful to see your love for Noelle. And Noelle, it makes my heart so happy that you have that. Thank you. Hello, my name is Yela and you might know me as Noelle's other fiancé. We did rock, paper, scissors a couple months ago and Brayden won. So, he's here. Noelle, the first time I met you, officially, for some reason, you got down on the ground as you were taking our engagement photos and were inching towards us. And you said to us, I feel like a sensual inchworm. At that point, I knew I wanted to be best friends with you. But over that time, we figured out you are really very strange. As we had hoped that this beautiful person was, she was just as strange as she was beautiful. We are all here, you and I, to witness the joining of their lives together. And we're outside on a beautiful day, surrounded by the trees, the animals. They're kind of going, This is new, for this place anyway, camels and whatnot. Looking around at all the people that love you, it's kind of overwhelming. Now I'm going to get emotional. Because I'm thinking back to this moment and what I saw starting to happen and what has happened. That there's this girl that he wasn't even dating yet. But he really made him want to be this responsible man who could care for a family and take care of. And I remember him telling me, you know, what's happening, that he's falling in love. I'd never seen Brayden like that before. And it made me really happy. I'm thankful for all the unseen parts of life. The things that cause us to do things like make lifelong commitments with each other. The ability to express love to other people. The ability to have dreams and to create a life together. All these things that we can't touch in our hands, but they're so powerful that we live and we die for them. Noelle, with this ring, do you promise to commit to Brayden as his wife and honor your sacred vows from this day forward? I do. And Brayden, with this ring, do you promise to commit to Noelle as her husband and honor your sacred vows from this day forward? I do. And for the community, do you guys promise to love and support Brayden and Noelle as a couple from this day forward? With the power vested in me to pronounce you husband and wife. I hope that today you, Noelle and Brayden, can look around and realize how many people you have and continue to touch. This beautiful wedding in the woods pulled together by your community and family is a testament to your commitment to how well you both love those around you. We have the insane man who believes in the impossible and the beautiful weirdo. You guys are so beautiful and together you make it sounds cheesy but dreams come true amidst all the chaos. And I just want to raise a glass to the two of you, to the impossible and to the beauty.
