Melinda and Steve [Plus Mckayla]

I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding. I have waited a long time to be able to officiate this ceremony.

It was a little chilly but worth the cold to have this great location in a family member’s backyard. The fire pit was blazing, the setting was lovely and the couple very much in love. I love sharing this time with a couple, but it is even more exhilarating when you have seen the relationship grow and develop over time. Their daughter McKayla arrived this year also, so what a memory laden year 2010 is for these folks.

Melinda, Steve and McKayla

McKayla goes on record as being my youngest flower girl, and she did a grand job of holding the basket. There were many tears of joy and lots and lots of love being shared. What a great family!

Congratulations to Melinda, Steve and McKayla!
