Congratulations to Kelsea and Yobani on their beautiful elopement this afternoon! 💍✨ When I arrived, I discovered that Yobani was still learning English, so I made a last-minute adjustment to surprise him by saying his vows in Spanish for him to repeat to Kelsea. Seeing the emotion in their eyes during that moment was priceless. Wishing you both endless love and happiness on this new chapter together! 🥂❤️

Today, I had the pleasure of officiating the wedding of Isabellah + Joshua, a beautiful celebration filled with meaningful traditions. They chose to include the wine box ceremony, sealing a special bottle of wine and their heartfelt, handwritten vows, to be opened on their 5th anniversary. To add even more depth to their union, they incorporated a handfasting ritual, symbolizing the binding of their hearts and lives. It was an honor to witness their love story come alive with these touching elements. Wishing them a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories! 💖🍷✨

Quick marriage license signing this morning for Danielle + Tyler who had their big ceremony and reception this evening. They were able to have a friend officiate for them while I took care of the legal end for them. Win-win! 🥰

Today, I had the privilege of officiating a special marriage license signing for a wonderful couple who have shared 11 beautiful years together. This moment was particularly meaningful as the bride is about to begin an exciting new chapter, starting her career as a Navy officer. It was a touching reminder of love’s enduring strength and the new adventures that come with it. Wishing them both endless love and success as they navigate this next journey! ⚓️💍✨

19 years together and decided to tie the knot tonight! Received the inquiry call only one hour before I performed their marriage license signing. 🥰

Today, I had the honor of officiating an intimate and heartfelt elopement at the historic Old City Cemetery Museums and Arboretum for one of Lynchburg FD’s dedicated firefighters and his beautiful bride. Surrounded by the serenity of the cemetery’s gardens, they exchanged vows witnessed by their children and parents. It was a celebration of love, commitment, and the cherished bonds of family. Moments like these, steeped in meaning and connection, remind me why I love what I do. Congratulations to the beautiful couple! 🔥💍✨

My infamous bow collection. If I’ve officiated for you or worked a wedding alongside you and my hair was pulled back you know about my bows. I need suggestions for more colors! What are you all thinking? 🤔 🎀

🎉 Happy 8th Anniversary to these two incredible people! 🥂✨ Eight years ago, I had the privilege of officiating their wedding and witnessing the start of their beautiful journey as husband and wife. It’s been amazing to see their love grow stronger year after year. Your commitment and joy inspire everyone around you, and I’m so proud to call you my best friend. 🫶🏼

Here’s to many more years of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments! 🤎🧡

A huge congratulations to Kaylie + Nathan, who said “I do” today at the beautiful Monument Terrace in Downtown Lynchburg! It was an honor to officiate their special day, surrounded by a close circle of their family who came to show their love and support. Wishing you both endless joy, laughter, and love in this new chapter together! 💍🤎🧡

Today, we honor and thank all who have served and sacrificed for our country. As a wedding officiant, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing love stories that began while serving. Your courage and commitment inspire us every day. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

This afternoon, I had the honor of officiating an incredibly heartfelt elopement for Alanna + Joshua. ❤️ They chose a location that held deep meaning—the groom’s family cemetery, where his late father is laid to rest. Joshua’s father was supposed to be his best man, but he sadly passed away before that moment could come to life. To honor his memory, the bride suggested they elope at the cemetery so his father could still be beside him in spirit on one of the most important days of his life. The ceremony was rich with emotion as they incorporated a handfasting ritual and sealed their vows with a unity shot of whiskey, symbolizing their enduring commitment. It was a beautiful tribute to love, legacy, and new beginnings. 🥃✨

It was a BUSY wedding weekend! Blessed and honored to have been a part of 6 couple’s special days. 🥰🫶🏼

REPOST FROM MY FRIEND AND FELLOW OFFICIANT, Lhegendary Weddings, WHO I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ABOUT THIS TOPIC A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO…“Listen, I know some of the country is angry and grieving, and you may not know how to channel those emotions. But please stop fanning a flame that wasn’t even lit. Why are we creating fear and panic based on assumptions of what could POSSIBLY happen? I don’t do politics, but of course, you can’t help but to be exposed to it during the past year. The new administration has a lot on their agenda that raises many people’s eyebrows in shock, but same-sex marriage was not something I recall them being very vocal about. And they’re very vocal.But, I may have missed something.You realize that at 12:02pm on 1/20/25, there won’t be a total revamping of laws, right? I believe an overturning of a Supreme Court decision would need to go through Congress and then each state. Breathe. Grieve how you need to. But please don’t make any important decisions until you have had time to do so.To the non-hetero community, please take a breath. Don’t panic. And if you weren’t thinking about getting married before this election, a new administration and what they could POSSIBLY do feels like a fear-based, loveless reason to get married.Marriage takes a whole lot more intenion than that. And you have longer than January 20th. Sincerely and with love, LhegendThanks for reading my editorial.”

Today, I had the pleasure of conducting a marriage license signing for Emily + Derek who asked a close friend to officiate their actual ceremony. Typically, I don’t stay to watch the ceremony, but today I had the chance to do just that—and it was such a joy! Getting to sit back and simply enjoy the love, laughter, and beauty of a wedding reminded me just how special these moments are. 💖 Cheers to the newlyweds! 🥂

💫✨ The Arras Coin Tradition ✨💫

💫✨ The Arras Coin Tradition ✨💫 In many Latin and Filipino weddings, couples exchange 13 coins as a symbol of trust, unity, and shared prosperity. 💍💰 These coins represent their commitment to share resources and build a life together. The 13 coins also add a blessing of faith, symbolizing Christ and His apostles. A beautiful tradition for a strong, blessed union! 🤎🍁🍂🌾 #ArrasCoins #WeddingTraditions #MeaningfulCeremonies #LatinWedding #FilipinoWedding

Dear Diary… 📔🥰🤍

October was such a perfect balance of weddings and family time! Grateful for all of it. 🥰🌾🍂🍁🐾

When the couple steals a moment after their first look and before their ceremony to practice their first dance. 🥰

A month full of beautiful weddings and finding out I’m having a grandson! 🥰🩵

When you have the opportunity to officiate at this magical place multiple times a month. 🥰🪴🍄🧚🏽‍♂️ Vaughan House Micro-Weddings

Congratulations to N + J! 🥰🤍
