Oh my, they look so beautiful and peaceful. Looks like mother nature was on their side, too. Look forward to seeing more photos and especially one of you and Hanno. I think that you may want to add another chapter to your book on how to do a frugal wedding that is both memorable and fabulous!!!!! Hope you are enjoying all the hoopla and company.
All the best to the Happy Couple! Congratulations, as your family celebrates this joyful time and continues to grow in love together. (((hugs))) from Carolyne
What a beautiful photo to cherish forever. I feel a bit daft sitting here on a beautiful sunny summer morning in Sweden with a bit of a tear in my eye. Why? They look so young and happy, Shane and my youngest son are actually very similar in looks. I am impatiently waiting for him to pop the question to his young lady. Mostly I think it´s because your writing has made us feel that we know and care for your family. Thank you for that. Congratulations to all of you. Looking forward to more pics.

Can't wait to hear more about the day. I came over to your blog today hoping that you'd put something up early. Thanks for thinking of us. :o) Sarndra looks beautiful - love the bouquet too. Hope you all had a beautiful day together. Congratulations to Shane and Sarndra.
It looks like it was a splendid day not just for the newly weds (congratulations) but for all who attended. I loved reading about all the preparations for the garden wedding, and I always find them so more relaxed and enjoyable(perhaps not for the people whose garden it is in).lol
Perhaps it has been said before that your photos are great that you include in your blog. I would love to know more about them if possible.
What a beautiful photo! Congratulations to Shane and Sarndra and to you and Hanno for putting on such a wonderul, memorable, loving occasion! Blessings to the happy couple!
Lovely! The best weddings are those that concentrate on what really matters as Shane and Sarndra have done; a lifelong commitment and life after the wedding day. They will have a beautiful day to look back upon and no nasty debts to spoil it. Many congratulations.
Congratulations to the newlyweds. I can imagine that the wedding was lovely, and I can not wait to hear more about it. Well done, Rhonda, and blessings on the new couple.
