It was a beautiful day on Sunday, June 23rd, 2024, when we gathered at The Viking Resort to witness the heartfelt union of Jack and Chelsea. As their Certified Celebrant and Ordained Minister here in the Algarve, it was truly an honour to officiate such a meaningful ceremony.
Love Story
I had the pleasure of sharing Jack and Chelsea’s unique love story with our gathered friends and family. Their journey began at the bustling Polpeor Cafe on Lizard Point, where their connection as colleagues blossomed into a deep and lasting bond. Over the years, their love grew stronger through shared adventures and the joy of raising their son, Oaklyn, culminating in a beautiful proposal in Devon overlooking the sea.
Vows and Rings
During the ceremony, Jack and Chelsea exchanged heartfelt vows, promising each other a lifetime of love, support, and companionship. The exchange of rings symbolised their enduring commitment, crafted from the raw elements of their love and devotion.
Declaration of Marriage
I then had the privilege of officially declaring Jack and Chelsea as husband and wife, a moment filled with joy and anticipation for their future together. As they shared their first kiss as a married couple, surrounded by the cheers of their loved ones, it was clear that their journey had only just begun.
Signing the Certificate
After the heartfelt ceremony that united Jack and Chelsea in marriage, the signing of the register and certificate marked a pivotal moment in their wedding day. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Jack and Chelsea, along with their two witnesses, Penny and Andrea, came together to formalise their union on paper. As they signed their names, it was a moment of reflection on their journey together and a celebration of their future as Mr. and Mrs. Casley. The signing of the register and certificate was a poignant reminder of the love and support they have from their community, marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with happiness, love, and shared adventures.
The Exit
After the heartfelt ceremony Jack and Chelsea’s wedding day continued with a beautiful exit surrounded by their family and friends. As they walked down the aisle together as husband and wife, petals showered down upon them, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. It was a joyous moment, filled with laughter, cheers, and the warmth of loved ones celebrating their union. The petals symbolised wishes of happiness and prosperity for Jack and Chelsea’s journey ahead, marking the beginning of their married life together in a shower of love and blessings.

For Chelsea & Jack’s wedding at The Viking, I anticipated walking on grass, so I opted for these gorgeous navy and white polka dot heels from Ruby Shoo. I received several compliments from guests on them. You’ve got to appreciate a fabulous shoe choice! 😉
