For some, this may be a date to avoid.  Especially when it comes to a wedding.  But for Michelle and Griffin, it was perfect.

These two people changed my life.  We met for coffee one evening and spent a long time talking.  When I left, I really hoped they would ask me to be their officiant – and thankfully they asked me that same night.  We worked together to come up with a perfect ceremony for their intimate wedding at All Saints Chapel in downtown Raleigh.  I wish I could put into words how special this couple is to me.  Their families embraced me, and I became much more than just their officiant.  This is why I love what I do.  Thank you Michelle and Griffin.  It was wonderful to be the one to pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Griffin Griffin.  Much love!

We all know the weather can be unpredictable.  Especially in the south. In October.  So when the rain began to fall, we weren’t surprised.  Nor were we surprised when it stopped just as quickly, which gave us a hot minute to get folks outside and into place for this gorgeous ceremony!

Lauren and Josh were married in October of 2017 at Simply Divine Bed and Breakfast in Dunn, NC.  The beautiful house provided a perfect backdrop for their ceremony which incorporated religious and spiritual components, as well as a time to formally acknowledge their fabulous kids.

Lauren and Josh, you two are wonderful!  Thanks for allowing me to be your officiant, and for all the laughter!
