Welcome to Our Wedding Page — We're So Glad You're Here!

What a joy it is to share this special moment in our lives with you.

On this page, you’ll find a beautiful collection of memories from our wedding day—captured with love, intention, and a whole lot of gratitude.

We had a few microphone hiccups (of course!), but I didn’t want to lose the words that meant so much to me—especially the ones inspired by one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Marianne Williamson. They were spoken with such heart, and I knew they deserved to be shared.

The ceremony was lovingly officiated by Anita Alabi, and we’ve also included the script from our meaningful Arras Ceremony, performed by Tina Lim—a beautiful nod to Ivy's cultural and spiritual roots.

Here’s what you’ll find below:

  • đź’Ť A 2.5-minute wedding trailer featuring our amazing friends and family—whose presence made everything feel extra, extra special

  • đź’ž A 2-minute Vow video of the sacred promises David and I made to each other

  • 📸 A full photo gallery capturing the love, laughter, and magic of the day

Every moment was captured through the soulful lens of Grethel Pavon, and I’m so excited to finally share it all with you here.

Scroll on, soak it in, and thank you for being part of our story. đź’–

 

Our sacred words from our ceremony

Ivy and David, we join with you on this day, as you commit before God and humanity that from this point forward you shall live as one.

I remind all of our guests that you have been invited here for a holy purpose, not just to witness, but to participate fully with your thoughts and prayers, asking God to bless this couple and their married life.

You are here because this couple feels close to you and asks that you join with them in this dedication of sacred purpose.

You represent symbolically all the people in the world who will be touched in any way by the life of this couple.

They have chosen this act of marriage and this public, holy ceremony in which to proclaim it.

Together we all thank God who brought them together and ask Him always to guide their way.

Ivy and David, we live in a time when very little in life is considered sacred.

But the One thing that must remain is and shall be, an agreement between two people.

This day we celebrate a sacred agreement between the two of you. I congratulate you on the journey of your lives, on the strength and the courage it has taken for each of you to make your way to this place.

You receive on this day the blessings thereof, for yourselves and all the world.

We live in times that are beset with problems.

This marriage is not to be an escape from the world, but indeed it is to be a commitment to greater service to the world.

You shall not exclude the world but include it in your love. Together, in this marriage, you shall contribute more fully, for you shall be more full.

Ivy, David is God’s gift to you, but he is not a gift for you alone.

It is God’s will that in your love, this man might find within himself a greater sense of who he is meant to be.

 

You are asked by God to see the good in this man, to accept him for who he is and who he shall be, that thus he might be healed and made strong.

In this way, God’s purpose shall be accomplished in this relationship.

May this man find, literally, the kingdom of heaven through the love you share.

 

And so it is with you also, David, that although Ivy is God’s gift to you, she is not a gift intended for you alone.

 

You are asked by God to so love this woman, that in your love she might find herself as God has created her, so beautiful and strong and brave and true, that the entire world might be blessed by the presence of a woman who shines so.

May she relax in your arms as she has never relaxed before.

May she know, from now on, that there is one on whose love she can depend forever.

Our prayer for both of you is that you might find in each other’s love such profound acceptance and total release, that together you might experience the forgiveness that shall free the world.

May you create, with God, a piece of heaven on earth. Into a darkened world the Lord has sent your love for one another, and accomplishes between you, the miracle that will heal us all.

From this point forward, Ivy, David’s needs will carry the same priority as your own. Likewise, David, from this point forward, Ivy’s needs will be seen to be as important as your own.

You shall not be as two conflicting or competing forces, but rather the energies of your lives shall blend into harmony and oneness through the grace of God.

 

The angels shall dance between you, and they will rejoice in the dance of life you do together.

To both of you, I urge you to release at this time all impediments to your joy. In this moment may you forgive each other any past transgressions, that you might enter this marriage reborn.

Allow the waters of forgiveness to wash you clean.

You are given the chance to begin your lives again this day, as God grants you radical renewal through the power of this commitment.

You commit to a compelling future for yourselves and your family.

Receive fully God’s gifts on this day, as He receives so fully the gift of your love for each other.

May you rejoice in Him, as He rejoices in you.

Our Wedding Trailer. So fun!

 

 

Acknowledgement to our children...

 

To the children of Ivy and David: Savannah, Jessica, Bianca and Davianna, today is not only a union of two hearts, but also the fortifying of your family.

Your presence here is not only a blessing, it is a testament to the journey that has led your parents to this moment.

You have each, in your own way, shaped them into the people standing before us today — people capable of deep love, unwavering commitment, and fierce devotion.

Through this marriage, Ivy and David are not only making a vow to one another, but also renewing their lifelong vows to you — to honor, protect, guide, and love you as they always have.

This joining is not just between two individuals, but between all of you. A family bond being strengthened, by honoring the past — and by choosing to move forward together with more love, more strength, and more understanding.

May this new chapter deepen the bonds between you, and may your family continue to grow in joy, laughter, and connection.”

Arras Ceremony by Tina Lim 

 

CANDLE CEREMONY by Savannah and Jessica

Let these individual candles represent each of you and your unique selves. They symbolize who you are in this very moment, and all you will be. 

By lighting a third candle, the couple has made a promise of unity. It is the two of you coming together as one to create new light and a new promise. You have come together as individuals to continuing radiating your love, to be stronger and bolder. 

This is also a symbol of everlasting commitment, because it takes both of your fires, working together, to keep it ablaze. 

 

The Veil by Lea and Davianna

This act of laying a veil over you allows you to be clothed as one. 

Let this veil represent the support from friends and family, who cover you in love in your marriage through good times and bad times. 

Let their love cloak you and make you stronger, ready to face whatever lies ahead.

The Cord by Lucy and Sandra

This cord symbolizes everlasting love and fidelity. 

Your love, like this cord, ties you together and intertwines your destinies. 

You are no longer two, you are united as one, stronger together in the face of adversity and capable of facing anything. 

Let this cord symbolize the strength of your love, an unbreakable bond which will only grow as time passes.

 

The Coins by Sydney

These coins represent, well being, stability, and prosperity in married life. 

Today David and Ivy have exchanged the arras coins between them as a symbol of their commitment and mutual respect for one another. 

The arras symbolize the sharing of earthly possessions and a promise to continue building a beautiful future together. 

It is a pledge to support one another in all their endeavors. 

 

Ivy and David, today you are choosing to celebrate your love, wholly and unapologetically, celebrating parts of your heritage and full selves.  

 

Let the Veil represent the love that cloaks you and protects you both. 

 

Let the cord symbolize your infinite and unbreakable bond. 

 

Let the coins be your promise to build together. 

 

And let the candle, whose light continues to burn, be a symbol of your courage and commitment to keep your love ablaze.

 

“Thank you for everyone for celebrating our love with us, it is a blessing to have you in our lives.”

Ivy and David
