Two years later, thanks to emerging video technologies... we're finally posting our wedding video online! Each is about 10 minutes long. For a very condensed version, click here.

"He has made all things beautiful in time...
The wedding was perfect.
It was MADE perfect, actually -- because before the wedding, the lesson I would tell everyone I was learning is that, "NOTHING is perfect, but that's okay." I could have told you the something that was not quite perfect about every little element of the wedding. But as I see it now -- God took all of those imperfect things, and somehow made them into something absolutely perfect.
So it often is with the work of God! And he carried out much of this work through some INCREDIBLE people: What was perhaps the greatest part of this wedding, was the opportunity to bless so many people, often by doing nothing more than allowing them to bless US. We were blessed by SO... MANY... PEOPLE... Especially by family (as the Webers kept saying: "family -- that's what it's all about") and close friends, but even by people who hardly know us, and by everyone who blessed us by their presence. As soon as we can, we will be thanking you all one by one.
Anyway, after a honeymoon that was almost as perfect as the wedding, spent at Cape Cod, MA and in New York City, we're back in Columbus now, and our apartment is taking shape. The transition to married life was so shockingly smooth that in some ways it's almost as if nothing changed, despite all that is new. But I think this is as it should be. The wedding was perfect and wonderful, but in looking back, we see it not as a mountaintop, but maybe simply as a door through which we'll continue on as we did before, only now, together.
"The road goes ever on and on, and I must follow if I can."
When I told friends that our wedding would have a “Lord of the Rings” theme, several raised an eyebrow as the image of a cheesy, “movie-themed” wedding flashed through their mind, and responded with something like, “Well then, can I come as an Orc?” But The Lord of the Rings, for Seth and I, is more than just “the movie that everyone’s been talking about.” This book, this epic story, has touched the way we think and talk about our lives and love. We have found that when we think in story terms, we can see life for the grand adventure it truly is. As C.S. Lewis wrote, “the value of stories is that they restore a rich significance to the mundane things of life we’re all-too-familiar with.” And so we planned our wedding. We took the traditional elements of a wedding—the elements we’re “all-too-familiar with” and rewrote each one in the language of our Lord of the Rings theme. We designed our ceremony to be deeply rich in significance and meaning, so that through The Lord of the Rings, we might have opened the eyes of our guests to the wonder of this epic narrative we are all a part of—a story that Seth and I are merely caught up in.

Books that inspired much of this ceremony's content are:
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
That is the fairy tale of the Gospel with, of course, one crucial difference from all other fairy tales, which is the claim made for it that it is TRUE, that it not only happened once upon a time but has kept on happening ever since and is happening still." Frederick Buechner in Telling the Truth: The Gospel as a Fairy Tale
