AMM’s 2022 Yearbook! American Weddings Year in Review

Published Wednesday, Jun. 29th, 2022


Thank you!

Summer daze ahead, a year in review… We present to you, the second annual AMM yearbook page! 

 


As the summer wedding season kicks into full gear, it seems like the perfect time to acknowledge the incredible AMM Ministers, staff members, and other wedding professionals that contributed to the American Weddings blog during the past year. 

 

Last year's ode to vintage yearbooks was such a hit that we decided to do it again this year! 

 

 

 

We present to you the American Weddings ‘Class’ of 2021-2022… 

 

Scroll down to find the top linked article featuring each one!

 

These Ministers and wedding professionals contributed their time, wisdom, expertise, and personal stories to help other wedding officiants and engaged couples plan their perfect ceremonies during another very uncertain year. 

 

With your help, the American Weddings blog published hundreds of ceremony-focused articles this year, as well as dozens of new audio articles (find them here) and accessible vlog updates (find them here). 

 

Thank you for helping us share useful information about online ordination, how to officiate weddings, new ceremony trends, beautiful wedding traditions and rituals, marriage laws, and more.    
 
Have an awesome summer! Stay cool!
