Their celebration unfolded over an entire weekend and included a lavish, black-tie reception with their two young daughters and 135 loved ones, but it was the private ceremony that meant the most to them, according to People. They made “deeply personal” handwritten vows to each other privately, dedicating their lives to one another in an intimate moment, before tying the knot in front of a cross cut-out set against the backdrop of a wall of white roses. Their outdoor ceremony was officiated by Pastor Joshua L. Mitchel.
“The next chapter looks exactly as God sees fit,” they told People. “We’ve learned throughout our relationship that some of life’s greatest blessings come from trusting His plan, even when we can’t see the full picture.”
