The First AMM Yearbook! American Weddings Year in Review

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

 

 

It’s finally, officially, undeniably summer! With the Solstice behind us, and summer weddings stretched out in front of us as far as the eye can see, it seems like a perfect time to acknowledge the incredible AMM Ministers and wedding professionals that have contributed to the American Weddings blog this year. 

 

And what better way to do that than with a nod to vintage yearbook style? We present to you the American Weddings ‘Class’ of 2020-2021… 

 

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

 

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

 

Have an awesome summer! Stay cool!
