Jonsson-Eiden Wedding
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you with love: Mr. and Mrs. Eiden!
The closest of friends and family gathered lakeside to celebrate Elliott and Danielle’s love story. The chilly November day was no match for the warmth of love that radiated from this group of loved ones. It was a joy and honor to get to know the bride and groom and to unite them in marriage.
Enjoy a few excerpts from this special ceremony below.

We are all privileged today to witness two friends, two amazing individuals, two parents, join together as husband and wife and commit to sharing a lifetime together. Along with their son, Cameron, Elliott and Danielle are uniting as one family. It makes me so happy to officiate this union.
3 years ago, Elliott and Danielle were blessed to find each other. The blessings have kept on coming as they welcomed their son Cameron into the world in 2022.
Elliott said, “Danielle is the best at being a mom. She is understanding, trustworthy, and loving. She came to me at the right time in my life. She was made for me.”
Danielle said, “Elliott is honest, kind, patient, funny, and trusting. He is the most supportive partner. If anyone has a problem, he is always willing to listen and help find a solution. He is the best at being a dad, and he is my best friend.”
Elliott and Danielle, with the wisdom of the years and with eyes and hearts wide open, you are called to be each other’s love story and embrace your happily ever after together.

Now you will feel no storms,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness,
For each of you is companion to the other.
You are two persons,
But there is one life before you, and one home.
Turn together to look at the road you traveled,
To reach this- the hour of your happiness.
It stretches behind you into the past.
Look to the future that lies ahead.
A long and winding, adventure-filled road, whose every turn means discovery,
New hopes, new joys, new laughter, and a few shared tears.
May happiness be your companion, May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead; and through all the years to come.
Go this day to your dwelling place and enter into your days together.
May your days be good and long upon the earth. Your adventure has just begun! -Apache Wedding Blessing

To Elliott and Danielle and a lifetime of love! Cheers!
