The ceremony took place at Nathan and Sarah's home. It was nicely decorated in a seasonal Christmas theme with Poinsetta plants and a Christmas tree they cut themselves.

The wedding cake was a double chocolate cake with a raspberry filling decorated with a Christmas poinsetta and pine cone theme. It was accompanied by a selection of light snacks, champagne and wine.

The Christmas colors gave the event a seasonal brightness.

The officiant, Dustin Anderson is a friend of Sarah and Nathan's. He graciously took time off from work to perform a ceremony specially written for them.

The small size and informal nature of the service allowed a light hearted expressiveness of their vows. Here, Nathan puts the ring on Sarah's finger, an action he repeated several times so all could get good pictures.

Sarah installs the ring on Nathans finger, also repeated several times, much to the entertainment of Dustin and all.
