First Impressions
With Bec and Ruben one week into their newfound roles as husband and wife we've finally had the chance to let this whole Get Hubbied experience begin to sink in. It's difficult to begin to describe something two years in the making that was over in six hours, especially when those six hours were filled with so many fun, funny, heartwarming, poignant, and outright beautiful moments. For the most part I was behind a video camera trying to capture them the best I could (videos forthcoming) but there are a few observations that I'd like to make before the images start rolling in.
It has been so gratifying to see this vision of Bettina's come to life and I really can't express the joy I had in sharing it with my close friends Bec and Ruben and their wonderful families. Bettina's family was also here to help and to witness the occasion for which we owe them many thanks. I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness of the artist's work as this was coming together and to see it presented in the midst of this real life wedding ceremony made more of an impact then any of us could have imagined. The resonance of each piece truly inspired all of the guests to contemplate exactly what was happening and to think about marriage in a more enlivened way.
I want to take this space to congratulate Bettina and express admiration for following such an unprecedented vision through. This was no easy task, but it was carried through with ease and I can't count the number of people who told me that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I wholeheartedly agree and feel so glad to have been a part of it. Congratulations Bettina and here's to you Bec and Ruben. ~Tif
