8/8 — A Date Worth Remembering
Some couples choose a wedding date for practical reasons. Others choose it because it carries a meaning — a number that feels right, a date that will be easy to remember, a day that already feels like it belongs to them. For Marie and Jonathan from Mt. Dora, Florida, August 8, 2026 — 8/8 — was that date.
And as Lynn Bodell, who officiated their ceremony at The Little Wedding Chapel of Love, so beautifully captured it: whenever they see the number 8/8, it will remind them of this day — the day they chose forever. There is something quietly perfect about a wedding date that becomes its own symbol. Every year, on the eighth of August, Marie and Jonathan will look at that number and be taken back to this day — to the chapel, to the vows, to the beginning of everything.
From Mt. Dora to Eustis — A Local Love Story
Marie and Jonathan came to The Little Wedding Chapel of Love from Mt. Dora, Florida — a town known for its charm, its beauty, and its own particular sense of romance. It is fitting that a couple from a place like Mt. Dora would choose a venue as full of character and warmth as The Little Wedding Chapel of Love, just a short distance away in Eustis.
For Central Florida couples, The Little Wedding Chapel of Love has become a beloved destination — intimate enough to feel personal, beautiful enough to feel special, and close enough to feel like home. Marie and Jonathan’s choice of it for their 8/8 wedding reflects everything that makes the chapel so cherished by the couples who find their way there.
A Blessing That Captured It All
“Celebrating the wedding of Marie & Jonathan on 8.8.26. May your marriage be filled with laughter, patience, adventure, friendship, and a love that grows stronger with every passing year. And whenever you see the number 8/8, may it remind you of this day — the day you chose forever.” — Lynn Bodell
Lynn Bodell’s blessing over Marie and Jonathan holds within it everything a marriage needs — and everything a couple setting out together might hope for. Laughter for the light moments. Patience for the harder ones. Adventure for the life they will build. Friendship as the foundation beneath it all. And a love that does not simply endure but actively grows — deepening with every passing year, every shared season, every ordinary and extraordinary day.
The number 8/8 will carry all of that meaning with it, for the rest of their lives.
The Ceremony
The ceremony at The Little Wedding Chapel of Love was officiated by Lynn Bodell with the warmth and sincerity that has made her one of Central Florida’s most trusted officiants. Standing beneath the chapel’s welcoming white exterior, framed by the Florida sunshine and the lush greenery of the grounds, Marie and Jonathan exchanged the vows that made them husband and wife.
The chapel’s iconic “love never fails” sign — visible in their photographs — provided the perfect backdrop for a ceremony built entirely around exactly that truth. Love that does not fail. Love that shows up, that chooses, that commits. That is what Marie and Jonathan brought to August 8, and that is what they carried with them when they walked out of the chapel as a married couple.
Their portraits outside the chapel — and alongside their striking orange Corvette — capture a couple full of joy, confidence, and a shared energy that is entirely their own. Theirs is a love with personality, with style, and with a sense of adventure that promises the years ahead will be anything but ordinary.
