June 18th I found myself at the Avanti Mansion for an amazing wedding. Kristin and Marquis are too stinking cute & perfect and I was very excited to share in their day. It was a scorcher for sure, but I’m in my summer wedding zone so those sun rays just roll off of me (and down my back in the form of sweat😂 ). Marquis was super excited and his stood with his mom, ready to escort her out, and Kristin looked beautiful and ready to go! When they stood across from each other I could see their love and they whispered to one another and smiled and laughed and it was wonderful to be a part of. I was so happy to pronounce them husband and wife and they went in for the biggest kiss! Congratulations Marquis and Kristin! You’re a wonderful couple and I see a long and happy life ahead of you. Much love!

Congratulations Alicia & Justin!!!

June 12th was magical…and I mean it since it was a Harry Potter themed wedding! Quickest way to my heart. At Templeton Landing Alicia and Justin had everything set up to match their “nerd” personalities, which I loved! The mimosa glass was the best of all (see below). It was a scorcher out and I could tell Justin was going to have an expiration date, but once Alicia made her way to him and stood beside him, he seemed completely comfortable. I think that is a real theme in their relationship. They shared their meaningful written vows, and while not everyone could hear them, it made them all the more special. They were for each other (and luckily an eavesdropper like me). Soon they were kissing and hurrying over to the shade! Congratulations Justin and Alicia! There is no denying that the two of you are perfect together and I see a long, happy, and magical future for the two of you!

Congratulations Dayna & Joel!!!

June 11th was gorgeous, especially at Niagara Falls on Goat Island. It was a perfect intimate moment for Dayna and Joel who said their “I do’s” in front of roaring water. It did mean I had to yell in their faces a teeny bit, but they didn’t seem to mind. They only seemed aware of each other and what a special moment it was. They held hands and eyes the entire time, and when it was time for their kiss as husband and wife, it was full of sunshine and love. Congratulations Joel and Dayna! It was such a perfect moment for the two of you and I’m sure just one of many perfect moments in your future!

Congratulations Anna & A.J.!!!

May 22nd was a perfect day, in a perfect backyard, with a perfect couple, and PERFECT good boy! It was a wedding that matched Anna and A.J. and couldn’t have been lovelier. They had a gorgeous tent with everything set up, and their closest people there to celebrate with them. They seemed to take everything in stride, and I knew they were going to enjoy this moment, because it was another thing they were doing together. And wedding dogs are my absolute soft spot, so I was won over immediately. Congratulations A.J. and Anna. You really are so well matched and I was thrilled to be a part of your day.

Congratulations Lyndsey & Dustin!!!

May 7th was a rainy, yet beautiful day, which matched the energy that Lyndsey and Dustin give out. They had gotten married during quarantine, but now they were ready for their wedding with friends and family! The Timberlodge at Arrowhead is a lovely spot and I was so happy to see Lyndsey and Dustin again. And I have to say, they made me feel pretty special when they gave me my own corsage! They didn’t want to say their vows in front of everyone, which I really respected. They were sharing this big moment, but some words were just for them. Soon enough they were kissing as husband and wife for a second time, and the room couldn’t have been happier. Congratulations Dustin and Lyndsey. You’re truly a wonderful couple and I wish you much love always.

Congratulations Nikita & Larice!!!

April 30th was full of cherry blossoms and a light breeze and most importantly, Nikita and Larice’s wedding at the Embassy Suites! When I arrived, Nikita was nervously waiting for guests (and her bride) to arrive. She looked beautiful, but I could tell wouldn’t feel completely comfortable until Larice was there holding her hands. When Larice did arrive, she seemed just as nervous and I was so excited to begin the ceremony and see their reactions as they stood side by side. Well, the tears came immediately and their love was a palpable thing. They held hands and smiled and couldn’t wait to kiss as forever partners! Congratulations Larice and Nikki! It was an honor to be a part of your day and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Congratulations Natalie & David!!!

April 24th was a magical day for Natalie and Dave. At the beautiful Curtiss Hotel, up on the roof, they said their “I do’s.” They’ve already become a little family with their two children, but this was just one more way for them to tell each other how happy they are that they found one another. It was a beautiful space, very intimate and low-key, and honestly felt perfect. They both seemed so genuinely happy that I knew nothing could go wrong for them. They held hands, smiled, and soon enough, were husband and wife. Congratulations Dave and Natalie! You’re so perfect together and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it. Best wishes always and thanks for my amazing glass full of sponge candy. That gets you to the top of my list 🙂

Congratulations Bliss & Todd!!!

April 10th was a beautiful day at Gregor’s Garden Grove, all set for Bliss and Todd’s wedding! I knew this was going to be a lovely event when Todd called me a few days prior, just to talk about all the steps he was taking to make sure everything was perfect. He wouldn’t leave anything up to chance when it came to giving Bliss a perfect day. When I arrived they were still getting ready, and it had a very low-key vibe which I adore. Guests were slowly coming in, excited to be a part of the moment. As I waited at the alter for Bliss and Todd to escort each other, I burst out laughing when they did to the Darth Vader Theme song! They know what they are about and the guests loved it. You could tell they were moved standing across from one another vowing to always love on, and I was happy to have been a part of their moment. Congratulations Todd and Bliss. You’re so well matched and I know you’ll have a happy life ahead of you!

Congratulations Kristin & Kristopher!!!

I woke up on April 2nd, the day after my second Covid-19 vaccine shot, and thought I was going to die. Not only was I sick, but I had Kristin and Kristopher’s wedding that evening. I think by shear will of force (and more than the recommended amount of Tylenol Cold & Flu), I pulled it together and made it to Wurlitzer Events for their big day. And honestly, once I saw Kristin and Kristopher, faces full of smiles, their energy made me feel better and I realized I would actually rather be here than on my couch!
Kristin looked beautiful when I saw her, and Kristopher very dapper in his Navy blues. It was a smaller wedding, but in an enormous space which made all the little flower girls and ring bearer super happy as they ran the room dozens of times. After all the guests gathered we were ready to start.
It’s very apparent that Kristin and Kristopher were made for each other, and after hearing their touching and hilarious vows, you’d have no doubt. You could feel their love and excitement and I felt very lucky to be there. Congratulations Kristopher and Kristin! Nothing could have kept me from sharing in this beautiful moment with you, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Congratulations Shelonda & Briana!!!

January 29th was Shelonda and Briana’s magical day at the Botanical Gardens. A couple that has been together for so many years, that when meeting them it was hard to ever imagine them apart. Since they loved the idea of an intimate wedding, no pandemic was going to stop them from telling each other how much these years have meant to them, and how much they are looking forward to the rest of their lives.
When I first arrived, I found Briana taking care of business and slowly getting more nervous. She kept checking with me to make sure I knew what I was doing 😂 She wanted to make sure I would ask everyone to stand when Shelonda made her appearance and I assured her that is something I always do. Since the intro song was long, I would as soon as I saw her appear. The SECOND the song started Briana turned to her guests and told them to all stand! It was so funny that I laughed alongside guests. She was leaving NOTHING to chance and wanted to make sure Shelonda had a perfect moment. And perfect it was. They looked at each other with such love, and their vows were unbelievably moving. They participated in a sand ceremony, aware of the fact that once the sand was combined together, it could never be separated again. This is what they were here for. Congratulations Briana and Shelonda! You’re a beautiful couple and I’m so happy to have shared in this moment.
