Ceremony Deets

Like I've mentioned before, it didn't take Matt and me a long time to figure out where we wanted to have both the ceremony and the reception.

I spent my childhood attending Sacred Heart Parish inYarmouth, Maine, which is about ten minutes from my house. Yarmouth is where my maternal great-grandparents immigrated from Prince Edward Island back in the day. The church has special meaning for me and my family. My grandmother,who is 93, is the oldest living parishioner and still attends every Sunday.  Although I don't regularly attend church anymore, I appreciate the traditions and thankfully Matt does, too. He was also raised Catholic and we're happy to exchange our vows in such a beautiful place of worship:

My grandmother was married in the same church more than 70 years ago. There is a picture of her and my grandfather (who passed away 40 years ago) in front of the steps on their wedding day. We plan on getting the picture enlarged and holding it in the same spot where they once stood.
