The Most Heartfelt and Fun Wedding... like Ever

Debra was an amazing minister who took the time to get to know me and my husband. She is so friendly she tries her best to make everything special and memorable for everyone! She was always available by phone, text, and email. She was amazing at helping us write our vows. My husband is not very good with words. She helped him say exactly what he was thinking and the vows absolutely made me cry. She made our day special and made our ceremony an amazing time where all of my photos are just me laughing so hard, crying, and being utterly in love with my husband as we were getting married.
