We are coming together at The Kodama Sanctuary which sits on land that has been lovingly stewarded by the Black Family, a place created for connection, reflection, and shared presence. Our wedding is rooted in gratitude for the earth beneath us, the fire that warms us, and the community that surrounds us.
The evening will unfold slowly and intentionally. We will begin by sharing a meal together at golden hour, then walk as a group into the ceremony space as daylight softens into night.
Rather than a traditional format, this ceremony is designed as a collective experience. Family and loved ones will offer blessings, prayers, songs, and reflections, spoken from the heart, in the moment. There will be periods of quiet, moments of expression, and an open invitation to witness one another fully.
We ask guests to arrive present and unhurried, and to set aside phones during the ceremony so we may all be fully with one another.
After vows are exchanged, the evening will naturally transition into celebration - with music, movement, and joy - continuing around the fire under the night sky.
Thank you for meeting us in this spirit of intention, reverence, and love. We are deeply honored to share this sacred moment with you.
