Couple Decides Not To Have A Traditional Wedding And Travels To Iceland Instead
When Jeremy and Rachelle sat down to start planning their wedding, the daunting thought of picking a venue, creating a menu, guest list and all the other odds and ends became a reality. Not to mention the huge financial cost. They sat there silently thinking it over until Rachelle said: “Why don’t we get married in Iceland instead?”.
A few weeks later, with no set plans, Jeremy and Rachelle were living out of van travelling around Iceland. They were hiking over glaciers, under waterfalls, exploring moss worlds, playing with horses, and relaxing in hot springs. All with the idea that they would know the spot to get married when they found it.
One day they discovered the ancient ruins of an old church, the only building to survive a volcanic eruption that took place long ago. The lava flow from the eruption parted ways and went around the church sparring it. Immediately Jeremy and Rachelle knew they had found their location. On the spot they exchanged their vows, in what has to be the most intimate way possible; alone together, with only the natural world as witness. Jeremy gave Rachelle her ring, and she gave him his. They kissed, hugged, and jumped back in the van to continue their adventure.
With the extra money Jeremy and Rachelle saved by not having a traditional wedding, they were able to afford to fly me out at the end of their time in Iceland to document the trip. I am a fine art photographer who quit the fashion industry 5 years ago to live in a cabin in the woods.

a picture of the church where they said their vows was not included, as it was a pivotal part of the story...

I LOVED IT.THIS COUPLE IS THE ONE I AGREE WITH. - I HATE CONVENTIONAL MARRIAGES WHERE GIRLS CRITICIZE EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY. MAN CRITICIZE FOOD. EVERYBODY CRITICIZES THE MUSIC, THE DECORATION AND OTHER'S DRESSING. THIS IS SOOO BORING AND SOOO USELESS AND SUPERFICIAL... IN A MOMENT WHEN THE WHOLE FUTURE OF THIS NEW FAMILY IS BEING BUILT UP, NO SPIRITUALITY MAY BE FOUND IN THESE EVENTS. SO I UNDERSTAND WHY THESE COUPLES DIVIORSE PROMPTLY AFTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING SERIOUS INSIDE THEIR HEADֱ

While wedding are nice, a trip loke this is so much more than a once in a lfe time event. A trip like this can change your life and help bring you closer together. Even closer than a wedding. A trip like this can help define us as people, or as a couple. The church mentioned in the story was missing. Such a special mention deserves a special picture.

thanks Dr Oku for the restoration of my marriage after 2 years of separation with the help of Dr Oku the great spell caster my marriage was restored back, even through the trials and tribulations. My wife has returned home after much time with another Man after the spell of Dr Oku solution came through, at first I was having doubts and crying out to Him. Dr Oku promise and guarantee me that after 28 hour my wife will come back home begging, i thought it was just saying what he can not do until after 7 days casting of the spell my wife came back kneeling and begging for forgiveness I was shocked of the magical power spell of dr oku and I was very happy to see my first love in high school came back to me again Email okuspellcaster@gmail.com Whatsapp: +2349060261758
