Ashley + McLain | January 10, 2025

Ashley and McLain were married on January 10, exactly five years to the day of their first date together in 2020.  Ashley and McLain met at a party celebrating their two favorite teams playing in the Music City Bowl New Year's weekend, pairing up University of Louisville and Mississippi State.

Their wedding was held on a snowy, wintery Friday in Springville, Alabama.  The Governor had declared a state of emergency because 3 inches of snow had fallen just hours prior to the ceremony.  After much discussion and worry, the wedding was given the green light to proceed, and proceed it did!  It was a match made in heaven, two families joining together with the marriage of Ashley and McLain, and friends and family toasted, dined, and danced celebrating their marriage! 

A very special weekend for myself as Ashley is my great-niece, the granddaughter of my late sister Gloria.  I was very honored to have officiated the marriage of Ashley and McLain, and loved being with my family and meeting new family over the course of the many wedding celebrations.   

Parents of the bride are Dan and Tami, and parents of the groom are Michael and Martha. 

Here's to a long and happy marriage and life together, Ashley and McLain!

Darla + Ernie | October 26, 2024

A very special day for Darla and Ernie, along with their families, as they were married at North Beach, on the shores of Payette Lake, in Valley County, Idaho.  A special day for me as well, as Darla and I have been friends for 25 years, and I had the honor of officiating and performing a beautiful ceremony joining Darla and Ernie in marriage.  

Their love story is special, long distance at times, busy schedules, busy jobs, kids, grandkids, parents, but love was their mission, and being together was the most important thing for Darla and Ernie.  They made this happen, and I couldn't be more happy. 

Cheers and much love to Darla and Ernie, forever and always.

Loretta + Joe | July 21, 2024

Thirty seven years after their first date, Loretta and Joe officially made it legal!  Their private and heartfelt ceremony with their daughter and granddaughter present, was in their home, their safe place, the home built with love and filled with Loretta's incredible paintings.  It couldn't have been a more beautiful way for Loretta and Joe to officially declare their love for one another.  And you can take that to the track!

Keri + Dave | July 20, 2024

Childhood acquaintances, sharing hometowns and schools, then meeting later as adult neighbors, and finally a date, an engagement and now marriage!  Their families came together on a beautiful day to share their love story, at their home they will share together, and create lasting memories.  I felt like a member of their families as I've known many of them since our days in Mountain Home, and bonded over shared stories.

Wishing the best to Dave, Keri, Owen, Olivia and big puppy Gus! 

Nina + Eric | July 13, 2024

Classic Hollywood Meets Country..........for an amazing wedding!  A sizzling day of 105', so sizzling that my iPad with the wedding vows overheated just before the exchanging of the rings.  Thankfully, their close friend, Preston, pulled out my hard copy of the vows from my bag after a short but needed intermission and water break.  

The love, the florals, the food, the friends, the music...WOW!  Words cannot describe the intentions that were made for this beautiful union for Nina and Eric.  No detail was left undone.  A dream come true for this incredible couple. 

Celebrating Nina and Eric.
