Prayer Flags - a Wedding Ceremony Ritual 

As a wedding officiant, I’m often inspired by my couples to create new wedding rituals. This one, Lung Ta - The Wind Horse, was inspired by Jennifer and Chris. They wanted their guests to get a feel for the spiritual path they were exploring. My thanks to Kevin Kelly Photography for the shot of the guests coming down the aisle carrying the flags as they fluttered in the breeze.
