Christine and Kenn had a Intimate Wedding in their home. I love the way they decorated the table with lights and petals. I also like the champagne jackets - one for the bride and one for the groom. It was my honor to marry this lovely couple that have been together 14 years.
As the final wedding blessing declares by yours truly:

Jossette and Kevin’s wedding reflected their personalities. I loved Josette’s wedding sword instead of a bouquet.

Sherry and Adam had a fun love story that I shared with their guests. Sherry was beautiful in that dress. I loved the burgundy bridesmaids dresses and the red accents at the wedding. The historic Hawkins House in Sanford was the perfect backdrop for photos. #raleighweddingofficiant #lgbtqweddingofficiant #lovestoryweddings #homeweddings #elopements #caryweddingofficiant #raleighweddings #ncweddings #ncweddingofficiant #caryweddings #caryweddingofficiant

Wedding ceremony on New Year's Eve
I am a Raleigh, NC native. I have been involved in the Spiritual Community in this area since 1987 when I began studying the Course in Miracles and became a Reiki I practitioner. My life changed suddenly a few years ago when I lost my husband of 17 years. I knew my seven-year-old son and I needed a new direction in our lives. Before coming out of the spiritual closet, I worked in biochemistry and public health labs. After a 35 year career, I knew I was longing to do more and serve my Raleigh community further.
I became a Trinity Energy Progression Practitioner, Reiki Master, and an Ordained Minister several years ago. I found that officiating weddings was a true joy to me and it became my passion. I enjoy working with all types of couples and all types of ceremonies – one of my favourites was being a Medieval Friar officiating a Medieval Wedding in a castle!
