The new season has begun, and I was lucky it was with such a gorgeous couple, inside and out! On January 16th, I arrived at The Show at Shea’s Seneca, a stunning building, to find Todd and Heather, looking happy and ready for this moment. After over a decade together, they knew this was everything they wanted. And not only did I get to bask in their wonder, but I saw another couple that I had married that I adored. What a day!
Todd and I watched Heather walk down the aisle and he looked so happy watching her as she made her beautiful entrance. They immediately took hands and smiled at each other and truly you could tell this was a moment meant to be. Soon enough they were kissing as husband and wife and ready to celebrate this exceptional moment with their friends!
Congratulations Todd and Heather! This was such an amazing moment that the two of you always deserved. I’m so happy I got to share it with you! Much love always!

How is it 2026???

I’m not sure what happened to 2025, but it was over in a flash! I didn’t even get to post all the amazing December weddings I had 😔. I think I just ran out of steam. But WE LOVED YOU ALL! And thank you for letting Karen, Megan, and myself share in all of your joy. There is no better gig in the world, and we are sooooo looking forward to 2026. Thank you again for choosing us. It means everything. And all of the love you sent back to us in the form of reviews, secured us our 14th WeddingWire Award for the best in the biz! Here’s to another year filled with love and laugher and some of the best writing with these vows you all create. How have I not cried during a wedding yet?

Congratulations Sarah & Jake!!!

What a day!!! Firstly, I was at a venue that I’ve never been to before, which if you’ve read any of these posts over the years, you know I love. And it was amazing!!! I found myself at Bent’s Opera House on November 13th for Sarah and Jake’s wedding, and what a wedding it was. Sarah and Jake are both hilarious. Can a person be chill and totally anxious at the same time? It doesn’t make sense, but that’s them. Even though stress levels were high before ceremony started (20 minutes out and Sarah’s like, I should go finish my vows…) and a lot of running around (Jake trying to make sure the music is correct and his flower men knew what to do, more on that later), it still felt awesome and relaxed somehow. I think it was that, they knew no matter what happened, it would be perfect because they were marrying each other. And that’s all that really mattered.
Soon enough it was time for Jake and I to stand on the grand, beautiful stage and watch the wedding party make their way out. They all were great, but those flower men had a record scratch, and then went into a whole dance, which was hilarious and the guests loved. Then Sarah made her way out looking so beautiful and unsure of what to do with all her emotions. The whole thing was funny and fun and full of love, and people couldn’t keep it together during their vows. I could tell I was a part of something special, and was so happy for them when they kissed as husband and wife!
Congratulations Jake and Sarah! I know you’ll have a laughter (and stress?) filled life and you’ll love every second of it!

Congratulations Laura & Peter!!!

WOW WOW WOW, wedding 600! I can’t believe I’ve gotten to share in so many weddings, and it was a serious pleasure to spend this milestone with such an awesome couple. I liked Laura and Peter right away when I met them. They are very real, all the laughs, the drama, the highs, the lows, they love it all, so long as they are together. I was happy to join them on October 25th at Pearl Street Brewery for their big day.
Peter was there, greeting guests and checking every little thing. He was nervous, but not to get married. He just wanted everything to be perfect for Laura. When she did arrive, she seemed so excited that she was shaking a little bit. I knew it was going to be a moment that was as beautiful as she looked. They made their way to the altar, with tears brimming and their personal vows were touching and funny, guests couldn’t get enough. But sadly at some point I had to stop, and let them share in that long sought after kiss as husband and wife!
Congratulations Peter and Laura! I wish you so much happiness and a long life together!

Congratulations Morgan & Mark!!!

I love weddings at Resurgence Brewing Company, so I was stoked on October 4th to be there for Morgan and Mark’s wedding. Firstly, they are super cute and secondly, they are super chill, so I knew this would be a wonderful moment. They both looked stunning when I arrived, eager for the moment to begin. So many smiles with friends and looks to one another. And it was all captured by one of my favorite photographers, SMW Photography, so it made the day extra perfect.
I was happy to stand at the altar with Mark as we watched Morgan walk out to him. Tears and smiles and laughs and another moment that felt perfect to me. I think I had the biggest smile of all when I pronounced them husband and wife! And what a kiss to follow!
Congratulations Mark and Morgan. You’re such a perfect couple and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Congratulations Kadijah & Ray!!!

What an amazing year it’s been! I keep meeting the best humans and sharing in their big day on a GORGEOUS day! That was for sure the case on October 3rd, at Binksberry Hollow for Kadijah and Ray’s wedding. The energy there was good right from the start. Guests were excitedly talking and I found Ray, trying to play it cool. I don’t know how well he could possible do though, since once I saw how beautiful Kadijah looked, I almost lost it! Not to mention, how amazing their cake was with little Zazzy at the bottom taking a bite 😂
Soon enough, Ray and I gathered on the top of the hill to wait for the wedding party and Kadijah to make their entrance. It was such a lovely moment and I love looking back between the bride walking and the groom watching. I always appreciate my front row seat to these moments. Kadijah reached her groom and they smiled at each other as we began. They had a funny and moving reading from their groomsmen and everything just felt perfect as they held hands and looked from each other out to their friends and family. They shared their vows and then happily, it was time to kiss as husband and wife!
Congratulations Ray and Kakijah! You’re such a lovely pair and I’m excited to think about your future life together!

Congratulations Minde & Joe!!!

Oh wow, what a fun day! I found myself on October 2nd, about to have a blast at a Thursday wedding at Timberlodge at Arrowhead with Minde and Joe. They are so fun themselves, it was hard to not get swept away in the joy of this moment. Minde looked so beautiful and so jazzed when I saw her, and Joe had an excited energy that was contagious to his friends around him. They were READY for this moment, so it was very wonderful when Joe and I got to stand there and watch Minde make her walk out to him. They stood in the sunshine, holding hands and smiling, probably thinking about how this was the person they were going to get to play UNO with for the rest of their lives 😂
They said their vows with some tears and then kissed the most joyful kiss as the audience erupted! Congratulations Joseph and Minde! I was so happy to share in such a wonderful moment and am happy knowing you’ll have so many more ahead of you.

Congratulations Heather & Scott!!!

I love Pearl Street weddings. They not only look so good, but are organized and feel like a perfect spot to get married, and then to party! So I was very happy on September 20th, when I got to celebrate Heather and Scott’s wedding there. I found them hanging out on the balcony with their wedding party, seeming to already be having the best time. I knew this was going to be a good moment, because they were ready for it to be the most fun party they had ever been to! But first, they had to stand at that alter, looking so gorgeous and happy, and hold hands while they said their vows to each other and exchanged rings while smiling and laughing. Soon enough it was time to kiss and then get to the bar for a Baily or Josie drink (named after their puppers)!!!
Congratulations Scott and Heather! You both deserved a perfect moment and it seemed like you got that. Enjoy every moment after!

Congratulations Layne & Christian!!!

I was very excited for September 14th, because it was Layne and Christians 10:30am Sunday wedding, intimate, in a gorgeous spot —Spring Lake Winery,– no bells and whistles. They were only there for the ceremony and they were going to make it the best it could be. It perfectly matched their personalities and I was happy to be a part of it. It was surprising when I saw Layne’s mom, and we realized we were old work friends from two decades ago! It made me feel even happier to be there, to get to officiant her daughter’s wedding!
It was a perfect moment. I stood in the sunshine with Christian, one of the most down-to-earth feeling guys who just wanted his girl to come out so he could marry her. And when Layne did walk out, looking so beautiful, you could see how happy they both were. They stood under their gazebo, reading vows they had written to each other which was just another bit of understanding of how meant to be they were. Soon enough they were kissing as husband and wife!
Congratulations Christian and Layne. It was such a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you, and know we share a family bond! Much love always!

Congratulations Eliza & Danny!!!

You hope for a perfect day for your wedding, and Eliza and Danny surely got one. It was beautiful at O’Brien’s Sleepy Hollow as it should be for such a special couple. I found Danny hanging out playing some games with groomsmen, but when something wedding related came up, he was at attention! He was excited and wanted this moment to be as perfect as can be. He was so happy to see all his friends and family around, stopping to hug everyone he passed. Eliza was also ready for this moment, and she looked so gorgeous as she hid out, counting down until she’d be side by side with Danny. And I could tell the guests were maybe the most excited, since they were already all sitting and waiting, when usually you have to corral people outside! Soon enough she was walking towards him, and they beamed knowing they were about to become husband and wife. I was lucky (as always) to have a front row to their smiles and tears and vows that they shared with each other. And the best part of all, pronouncing them husband and wife and watching that most special kiss of all!
Congratulations Danny and Eliza! Truly, you’re such a remarkable couple and I’m so lucky I got to share this moment with you.
