Shanar and Brandon: November 11, 2022 at Pullen Park

Congratulations Shanar and Brandon! This beautiful couple was married on Friday, at the gazebo on the island in Pullen Park in Raleigh, NC. They exchanged their vows in a small, intimate elopement-type wedding in this very lovely spot. The love and respect they share was palpable, as was the love and support of the family and friends surrounding them on their special day.

It was an honor to serve as their wedding officiant, and I wish them a lifetime of blessings and joy!

Nina and Andrew: October 22, 2022 at Old Holler Farm

Old Holler Farm was the perfect setting for this magical day.

Nina and Andrew are huge fans of The Lord of the Rings, so they had some touches of that theme in their wedding on Saturday. The couple stood together to take their vows with a beautiful pond in the background, loving family and friends to support them, and a perfect October day to surround them with soft, magical light.

There was laughter and a few tears when I shared the story of how we all had come to be there to celebrate with Nina and Andrew on this very special day in their lives. Nina and Andrew are a dear couple with big hearts. They have been through a lot together, and I wish them a marriage filled with all the happiness and blessings they ever dreamed of having.

Savannah and Chris: October 15, 2022 at Coker Arboretum

Savannah and Chris held their nuptials at Coker Arboretum, which is part of the North Carolina Botanical Garden on the campus of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Savannah created her own beautiful wedding arch and floral décor. Her florals were lovely and in perfect harmony with the surrounding garden. Savannah and Chris were married with the loving support of their family and friends.

I am so happy for Savannah and Chris, and wish them all the blessings life has to offer in the married life they now share.
