It is a beautiful day. The clouds are thick, but the air is dry and the wind blows just enough to make the fall leaves dance.

Zoe's parents walk her down the aisle.

The bridesmaid dresses are an eclectic blend of styles utilizing the same fabric and color. The vibrantly colored bridesmaid bouquets are a wonderful contrast to the elegant green dresses.

Chris reads a passage to Zoe during the wedding ceremony
Zoe and Chris’ Jewish-Christian ceremony is officiated by 2 priests and a rabbi. The ceremony was filled with scripture, stories and music. The altar at Cathedral of the Pines was a beautiful location for Zoe and Chris’ interfaith ceremony.
Just one of many images of Zoe's smiling eyes.
You May kiss the bride!

The stone tower in the photo on the right features bronze placards created by Norman Rockwall depicting the contributions of women in WWII. Despite the fact that Cathedral of the Pines is an ideal location for a beautiful outdoor wedding for couples of all faiths, the Cathedral of the Pines was originally established as a war memorial.
“Sibyl and Douglas Sloane III founded the Cathedral of the Pines in 1945 . . . They envisioned that their cathedral without walls would welcome people of every faith in a spirit of unity and mutual respect. It was their hope that interfaith understanding would help bring world peace. ” (to read more visit cathedralofthepines.org)
