The Delicate Lodge

This beautiful willow structure was made by Joe's men's group. The couple were seated in this and the guests filed by on the way into the church. I believe the 'lodge' symbolizes the new space that the community must now grant the couple, to be theirs alone, to hold their relationship. It was a subtle aspect of the wedding and very beautiful.
After all the guests had gone in and were singing, a hummingbird came and greeted Andy and Joe, hovering infront of their faces for a time. I call that Auspicious!
