Joyously lived.
Tags:Found this gem on Brene's blog recently.
I love what she said about it,
To choose joy over the fear and vulnerability of being different orweird or ridiculed is a tremendous act of courage - one that touches
all of us.
It also totally reminds me to stop just going through the motions, or doing things just because that is the way they have always been done. What a tremendously wonderful celebration of life.
It seriously makes me want to get up and dance.
I want my life to be so joyously lived.

I totally agree! Love this video. Love that they embraced their day and made it their own. A wonderful reminder to do just that everyday...make this day your own.

I wish i was brave enough to try something like this at my wedding :)
With my luck and ungracefulness, I would end up tripping on my dress going down the aisle. LOL.
I love that they shared it on YouTube though. It must have been a truly memorable ceremony.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!! My eyes filled up with tears - truthfully - because I feel these people GET IT. When all is said and done, when the ceremonies are over and day to day life begins - it's the JOY and HAPPINESS felt deep inside that really matters. I LOVE that they were able to put the traditions behind them and CELEBRATE this marriage from the very very start. Thanks so much for sharing this, Ally!!

I found this last week and have watched it about a million times since. I love it - I showed my sister and she said that it was a little disrespectful in a church. I see her point, but at the same time marriage is a thing to celebrate and these people fully understand that. I think it is an awesome way to start their celebration.
