With the iconic National Cathedral in the background adding a touch of history and classic romance to the occasion, Mamie and Nick read their vows to one another in the Bishop's Garden.
Romance and simplicity defined Mamie and Nick's wedding ceremony, which took place in the Bishop's Garden at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Unlike most municipalities around the world, Washington D.C. allows for self-officiated weddings, so this couple was able to guide themselves through the ceremony. Not only did their ceremony include the traditional exchanging of vows, but the couple also took a few moments to read letters that had been written by their friends and family, allowing them to feel connected to those who were not able to be there in person.
While many of their human family members and friends could not be in attendance, this couple was able to include their dog in their wedding. Sandy served as an official ring bearer, and was an attentive guest throughout the entire ceremony.
Upon the conclusion of the ceremony, the couple retreated to a quiet area of the gardens in order to enjoy a small picnic together that included wedding cake and champagne.
