First Kiss at Searles Castle

Justina and Christopher incorporated a stone ceremony into the day, a gesture that symbolized the couple’s families and friends helping to lay the foundation of their new lives together. During this portion of the ceremony, guests lined up to place a stone, which had been placed at their seats, in a glass vase. “This was a beautiful way to include the guests, create a tangible memento from the ceremony and have a receiving line for the bride and groom,” Justina says.
