"I knew from the very start that Katie and Kenny were going to be unforgettable characters in my book—especially when, during our very first conversation, they mentioned bringing what I believe was a chicken as a witness to their wedding! That didn’t end up happening, of course, but what an impression—it had me laughing right away. From that moment on, their down-home, family-oriented vibe was clear. Their instructions were simple, their needs straightforward, and they made it easy to connect with them. As always, that initial nervous energy I felt was just a sign of how much I value my role in these moments. I didn’t get the chance to meet them in person until the wedding day, but when I did, everything felt laid-back and full of joy. I will admit, I struggled a bit with the pronunciation of their names—my mind kept wanting to say them differently than they were spelled—but they were so gracious and found humor in my attempts. I’m truly thankful they chose me to be part of their ceremony and send them my warmest regards as they begin this next chapter together!"
