As a wedding officiant and celebrant I often have couples who wish to have a private and meaningful wedding ceremony ask me to work with them to create their their special day.  Sometimes they bring 2 or 3 people, but often it is just the couple. Tuesday, I had the privilege of marrying Victoria & Va'Shawn, who traveled from Texas to become legally married in our Commonwealth.  With all the rain we have had, I was concerned we would need to move the ceremony inside, but timing was perfect, we had moments of sun and clear sky for their ceremony.  The ceremony was held in my garden alcove, and was custom designed and written for them as they combined their lives as friends, partners, co-parents and spouses for life. 
Congratulations Victoria & Va'Shawn!
