Wedding Reading: Quote From The I Ching

ByBrent Deitrich July 10, 2014

I want to share a short and sweet ceremony reading with you today. We used this in our wedding but we didn’t have it read aloud, instead it was simply printed in our ceremony program. These words resonated strongly with me and I thought…

So far, for this Ceremony series, we’ve focused on non-traditional readings – for a change here’s a classic, biblical reading  – one which I used in my wedding as well. Marriage is not easy, especially when you’re a very strong-willed person, (guilty as charged!) so…

The kind of wedding that reminds you what it’s all The kind of wedding that reminds you what it’s all about. 🤍🏔️

Nestled beneath Colorado’s snow-capped San Juan Mountains, Megan and Luke’s wedding was rooted in faith, community, and intentionality. They started their wedding morning with a private run together, the bride created her own florals, and every guest received a handwritten letter before the night ended with swing dancing beneath the string lights.

Simple. Joyful. Deeply personal.

A château in the French countryside. Estate wines. A château in the French countryside. Estate wines. House music. Cake before dinner. ✨

Alex and Cole traveled from Canada to Southwest France to create a wedding experience that felt less like a traditional wedding and more like an unforgettable gathering of their favorite people. Set at Château de Longpré, their celebration blended timeless French elegance with personal touches that reflected their love of travel, wine, and meaningful connection.

From a château wine tasting during cocktail hour to a spontaneous dance floor that started long before dinner, every moment felt intentional, joyful, and completely their own.

Caroline and Sonny’s wedding at The LINE DC was the perfect reminder that the best celebrations don’t just look beautiful - they feel like you. From whimsical florals and bold summer colors to a one-of-a-kind dance floor and custom tennis balls from their dog (iconic), every detail was playful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.

This is how you do a modern city wedding.
