I married this couple this evening at their home in Tamarac. They were surrounded by family and friends at their small intimate wedding ceremony.
The couple wrote their own vows which were very personal to them. David had worked hard on his vows. They were lovely and very meaningful. He had them ready, on index cards in his pocket. Debra did her, equally meaningful vows, without the benefit of cards. The love in their eyes for one another was there for all of us in attendance to see and feel.
I truly enjoy my role as a wedding officiant. It gives me the opportunity to share in such a special moment in the lives of the couple. I can look in their eyes and see the love that they feel for one another. I get to listen as they tell one another of their love. It's wonderful.
I sensed that David and Debra had both been looking for this very special relationship and were both so happy to have found it. They are a lovely couple and they were surrounded by people who were special to them. Don't ever think that a wedding must be big and expensive to be special. It doesn't. The thing that makes a wedding special is what made this wedding special. That is the love that the bride and groom feel for one another and the love that exists between the couple and their guests. It makes for warm vibes.
Congratulations David and Debra. Thank you for letting me share your moment.
