Lighting the fire

We still have not collected wedding photos from all of our guests, so I know there is a better picture of this moment out there....however, for now this one will have to do. Our next task was to try to do the impossible - we had to hold water in our hands. This task is about as easy as holding love in your hands. However, when we worked together (one pair of hands on top of the other) it was a bit easier... Then we got to clean out what was behind us in our past by throwing water behind us (got those people nice and wet!), clear our future by throwing water in front of us, and enjoy the moment we are in (one more time - tris lietas labas lietas - good things come in threes!) by throwing water straight up! :)
The area for the fire was decorated with fern leaves, and together we built and lit the fire for the ceremony...

KB's godson really wanted to help build the fire... We let him do as much as he could, but then he just had to stand back with dad...
