Can’t begin to say what a blessing it is to be a part of these couples’ very first day of forever. To be front and center with them as they dedicate their lives to one another is something I don’t take lightly. I always say it is an HONOR to be their officiant, and I mean it. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day and for the opportunity!!

✨✨GOOD VIBES✨✨Beautiful wedding celebration yesterday celebrating Alex and Grace! The evening was awe-inspiring as the sun set over the gorgeous Chowan River. This family home is truly a special place. Thankful to have been a part of their first day of forever! 💍🙌🏽

Sidenote: While some took full advantage of the riverfront and jumped in the river, others decided the make the deck “behind the DJ” their dance floor as the night went on. We made it work!! 😆👍🏽
