Amanda and Trista were married at the Tacoma Art Museum, surrounded by family and friends who traveled from across the country to celebrate with them.
Guests were invited to leave messages on a vintage telephone, creating an audio guestbook the couple can return to over the years. During the ceremony, each guest held a smooth stone that Amanda had collected while rock hounding and later tumbled herself.
At the center of the ceremony was an oath stone—another rock Amanda had found and polished. Together, Amanda and Trista spoke their vows into the stone while holding it between them.
Friends from their theater community performed the processional on the ukulele as Amanda and Trista walked in, while another officiated the ceremony. Their daughters stood beside them for the oath stone ritual and later joined everyone on the dance floor as the celebration continued.
Long after the messages on the vintage phone are replayed, another set of words will remain held quietly in a stones that now carries their vows and the messages of love.
