Marcus and Lindsey are our given names, the names which we've had since birth. Many of you know us by these names! However, both of us converted to Orthodox Christianity in our twenties. As part of entering the Orthodox Church, we both needed to pick a patron saint from among the Orthodox saints. Macarius and Elizabeth (or Ella) are the names of our patron saints. Some of our friends know us by these names as well! Macarius and Elizabeth are the names that will be used during the wedding ceremony.
