Not many people get to officiate for the first person they got detention with in 8th grade. Or the first person they snuck into the woods to smoke a cigarette with. Or the person who some of their best young adult memories are tied to. On Saturday October 22nd, at Brierwood Country Club, I was …
I loved October 13th not only because it was my birthday (!) but because I finally was able to meet Roger and Josh who live in Germany and are part of our military! It wasn’t easy to plan an international wedding, but they succeeded and ended up in Grand Island together, ready to take the …
Ok, so it was raining on the evening of October 7th. So, it was raining a lot. That will not, cannot deter true love. So even as it pelted down on their perfect alter, and dampened their hay stack seats and fall flowers, Joe and Kim still met each other, in the beautiful back yard …
Saturday October 6th was an exciting day! Not only did I get to return to the beautiful Butler Mansion, but I got to see Bridget and Casey again (and I really love them)! Casey was immediate with the jokes and Bridget’s smile could not have been bigger. It may have been cold outside for some, …
Friday August 31st was beautiful not only because the sun kept shinning late into the day, but because Kelly and Brian were finally wed! Kloc’s Blossom Grove was full of smiling people as Brian and his groomsmen joked (sort of) about how nervous and excited they were. As Brian and I waiting for Kelly to …
Saturday August 25th was especially memorable for two reasons. Number one, it got up to over 90 degrees, and number two, the amazing and perfect-for-each-other Kathy and Theron were married! I first found Theron pacing under an enormous gazebo at Banchetti’s in Amherst. I’m pretty sure all of the sweat he was facing had nothing …
A last minute email led to a last minute wedding on Saturday August 4th at Delaware Park in Buffalo. And I LOVE last minute weddings! No time to fret or fuss, just remember why you’re there and it all works out! Aleah & Josh travelled from Ohio to be married here since they don’t support …
Although a group of about six kids chanted “rain rain go away,” somehow it didn’t work on Friday July 20th, but that doesn’t matter when you have a couple as perfect for each other as Dave and Michelle! While the rain came down at Woodlawn Beach in Hamburg, they grabbed umbrellas and each others hands …
So it has been a very busy summer for weddings and I’ve been lucky enough to officiate many of them. I’ve been getting some really lovely feedback that lets me know that I’m definitely supposed to be doing this in life and sharing in these moments. I just wanted to thank everyone who has left …
The weather today, Saturday June 30th, was unbelievable, and one would think it couldn’t get better. Of course the breeze off the lake at Jennifer and Angelo’s lake house would prove that thought wrong! A small and beautiful ceremony, their friends honored them with a wine toast during the ceremony and then their love defied …
