This year we have a very very limited number of weddings since I spent half of it pregnant and now we have our sweet baby boy… but we have been so blessed that each one of our couples is truly amazing. I have been looking forward to August 15, 2020 since Zoe first called me… […]

It doesn’t seem like very long ago that Tara was sitting in my classroom telling all about this guy she was in love with and how they were just going to elope.
