Officiated by Binta K Marriner at Cooper Hawk Winery Troy in Troy, Michigan on August 29th, 2025.
"Some love stories remind you that it is never too late. David and Verdia are that story. Walking into their ceremony, the room already told you everything you needed to know. Family everywhere. Laughter. Tears. The kind of energy that only happens when the people around you are genuinely happy for you — not just there to celebrate, but truly moved by what they were witnessing. There is something profoundly beautiful about two people who have lived full lives, who have seen things, who understand what love really costs and what it really gives — and who still choose to stand in front of the people they love most and say yes. Officially. Forever. To be the one chosen to officiate that moment — to be trusted to stand in that space with them — is something I do not take lightly. It was an honor. A real one. David and Verdia, you reminded everyone in that room that love does not have a deadline. That it can find you, and it can be beautiful, at any season of life. Watching you solidify your union and step into this next chapter together genuinely filled my heart. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Fox. May this chapter be your sweetest one yet. "
