We woke up early on Sunday morning for a quick breakfast before we had to start getting ready for the wedding. Eliza’s younger sisters helped me get her into her wedding dress, while Andrew and a couple of Nikolas’s friends helped Nikolas with his tuxedo. Afterwards, Andrew and I quickly changed into our suit and dress, then rushed to the beach to set up for the wedding.
With the help of some of the guests and the priestess officiating the wedding, we raised a traditional Moon Goddess altar facing away from the ocean. A pure white cloth aisle stretched between four rows of six white folding chairs, red rose petals sprinkled across the fabric and ending at the crescent-moon-shaped altar. A local string quartet had been hired to play “Here Comes the Bride”.
