This past weekend was Carina and Ryan's ring ceremony, and I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid. It was absolutely beautiful! They had been sealed in the Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on the 17th of November, and they then came for their ring ceremony and reception down in Cape Town on the 24th of November. I won't lie, I almost cried a few times!
I had had the privilege of baking cupcakes for the reception, which they had as their wedding cake. I was constantly worried that I would mess them up, and would therefore be the cause for a ruined wedding (I know it wouldn't really be that bad, but I tend to feel under pressure!). Anyway, they turned out fine, and I had some pretty good reports.
I also had the privilege of singing a song for them at the reception, during which they had their first dance. I sang "The Way You Look Tonight", which turned out fairly well, despite all my nerves. I also played the piano for another couple who sang "All I Ask of You", from The Phantom of the Opera.
All in all, it was a really beautiful ceremony. Carina's and Ryan's messages to each other were really heartfelt and touching, and made me realise how much I want to experience a love like their's. They are so perfectly suited to each other, and I am so happy for them.
