ABOUT THIS WEDDING

"Officiating Deborah Vance and Kevin Davis’s wedding in the mountains of Cleveland, Georgia was an incredibly meaningful experience. From the moment I arrived, the setting itself set the tone—quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains. It felt like the perfect place for two people to begin their next chapter together. I’ll admit, I felt that familiar mix of excitement and just a touch of nervousness before the ceremony—not from uncertainty, but from knowing how important this moment was for them. As Deborah and Kevin stood together, any nerves quickly melted away. Their connection was unmistakable. There was a calm confidence in the way they looked at each other, as if the world had slowed down just for them. It was one of those ceremonies where everything felt centered and intentional. One of the most beautiful surprises was how emotional the moment became. The mountain breeze, the quiet stillness, and the sincerity of their vows created an atmosphere that felt almost sacred. It wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a shared experience that everyone present could feel. What I loved most was the simplicity and authenticity of it all. Nothing felt rushed or overdone. Every word spoken carried meaning, and every moment felt genuine. Standing there, guiding Deborah and Kevin through their vows and officially pronouncing them married was an absolute honor. By the end of the ceremony, I felt deeply grateful—not just for being part of such a beautiful wedding, but for being trusted to help create a moment they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. Deborah and Kevin’s mountain wedding was intimate, heartfelt, and filled with love, and it’s one I’ll always remember.**"
