A Celtic Wedding for Ben & Celeste Yates

  September 26, 2015
The Barclay Villa was the perfect spot to hold a Celtic Themed wedding.



The castle look added to the atmosphere of the whole wedding.


Entering the castle grounds we were greeted by Robert White, a Bagpiper playing traditional Scottish music.




The wedding begins with Officiant Samantha L. Heart leading the way with our Groom Ben (Bear) Yates.












The bride’s maids & grooms men came dancing down the main stair case and walked down the aisle. It was a very entertaining processional.




Here comes the Bride!



Celeste’s father Mark reads a beautiful Irish Wedding Blessing!


As Bear states is vows, Celeste was overcome with tears.


Celeste lovingly gives her vows to her beloved Bear


Bear not only vows to Celeste’s son Teren that he will love his mother but also to love him as his son. A very touching part of the ceremony.




Following Bears vows to Teren he places a manly Celtic style necklace 
around Teren's neck.
