I was honored to perform my first wedding ceremony of 2022 in March, which was my 49th ceremony to date. The freezing cold winds that day convinced us to head inside, rather than have the wedding at the park. Sometimes plans change and that's ok. It was still just right. Congrats to Loren and Chris!
