Jennifer and Richard: February 21, 2021 at Castle McCullough

Yesterday I married Jennifer and Richard at Castle McCullough in Jamestown, North Carolina. I don’t have pictures yet so I hope to be able to post some later. I just had to say what a wonderful wise couple they are. It’s easy to see their deep love for each other. I especially appreciate the way they included Jennifer’s, and now Richard’s daughter, Makayla in their ceremony. Richard made vows to Makayla as well as to Jennifer and placed a lovely little locket around her neck so she always has her own special memento of the day. It was very touching for everyone there. It was a moment to treasure having this family officially come into being right there in front of me. I love what I do. After more than twenty years I am happy to say every wedding matters. Every wedding is special and precious and this is what struck me as most special about the wedding of Jennifer and Richard.

 Many thanks to wedding planner Hannah Mills for a great job!

Lynn found these beautiful lanterns on a trip to Mexico with “her girls.” There is a story about how they came across the border… but I’m not telling. ;D

Congratulations Robi and Pete!

Robi and Pete love to travel whether it’s by car, plane, or the time they spend together riding on Pete’s Harley. Somehow they always seem to end up at a bakery so seeking the perfect cake was especially fun!
