Nothing is typical about a Ukrainian Orthodox wedding ceremony. Dad does not walk the bride down the aisle, but rather the couple meet in back of the church and walk down together. Rings are exchanged in the middle of the aisle prior to reaching the alter and after the ceremony the couple do not walk up the aisle but rather great all their guests at the alter. Melissa and Jeff were married at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Trenton, NJ. After the beautiful ceremony we were off to the Grounds for Sculpture, one of my favorite portrait locations in NJ.
