Handfasting Ceremony

Our Wedding

Mary and Colleen's journey began in 2019 during their masters level internship. Their connection deepened significantly during the COVID-19 lockdowns, as shared isolation fostered a unique bond between them. The laughter and love truly never ends, even though and even when. Mary and Colleen celebrated their union in two distinct ceremonies. They were legally married on October 31, 2024, and later honored their commitment with a hand fasting ceremony alongside their families on April 19, 2025.

Even though, even when
