I received an urgent message from a daughter of an officiant on July 13. Her mother was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery and she was asking me if I could perform the wedding her mother was scheduled to do the next day. I already had a wedding scheduled for 2:00 p.m. that was close by. This wedding was 45 min. away. Then the bride called me saying they were desperate because their guests were coming to their campground where they have a trailer to spend the day and the wedding would take place at 6. I try not to do two weddings on the same day but I agreed to this one and I am happy I did so.

Tim and Melanie were just a friendly, fun couple who welcomed me with open arms. The wedding was casual with Shawnee Lake in the background. Melanie was just bursting with excitement and looked lovely in an all lace long gown. Tim was more relaxed and very happy. Their vows couldn’t have been more loving. I am very happy that I could help them out. They have been together nine years so I think I can confidently say that they will have a long and loving marriage. Wishing them the best.
