Song fades… INVOCATION

"Dear family and friends, we gather here today to celebrate the love and union of Bill and Gemalyn.

Their journey together has been filled with joy, adventure, and shared experiences, whether exploring the stunning California coast, savoring the beauty of Napa Valley, or celebrating life’s special moments with their closest friends.

Their journey has included watching Chet grow and celebrating his accomplishments over the past several years.

Today, we witness the next chapter of their journey as they pledge their love and commitment to each other."
