Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Alan and Bobbi Proffitt!!
This past weekend I had the joy of joining these two lovely humans in marriage. We know Bobbi because our kids (Elliot and Kaylie) were best friends in Aiken, but it was just a fun coincidence that she hired me for the ceremony- she found me on weddingwire and I don’t think either of us made that connection until we actually got on the phone.
Bobbi and Alan are opposites in a lot of ways. He’s a bit of the strong, silent type; Bobbi is a therapist she’ll tell you exactly what she’s feeling. But just like the old adage, these opposites attract - they give one another perfect balance.
Surrounded by their kids and grandkids and family and friends, we performed a handfasting and they promised “til death do us part”.

Something I don’t generally do is stick around for the reception, but I did this time and I’m so glad I did. I had a fantastic time laughing and eating and dancing with their lovely guests. Bobbi planned and coordinated every detail of the wedding, from decor (purple and gold and skulls to honor the “til death do us part” theme!) to food and dessert (she runs a bakery so the sweets were on point🤌🤌🤌) to the music, timeline, and shoes 👟

Just a few of the beautiful, loving couples I’ve married in the past few years. There have been many more over the last 10 years, and there will be many more will follow ❤️

To all my LGBTQIA+ couples, friends, clients, future clients- I am sorry if you are once again in fear that your right to marry (among other rights) will be taken away.
I will do whatever I can for you. I’ll be as flexible as possible over the coming months to help you get legally married. If you’re not in SC, I’ll help find an in your area. I am here for you ❤️

***If you already have a marriage license in SC, I will be at the Sumter courthouse on Wednesday afternoon. Message me if you’d like to get in line to have your license signed that day.***

💍 How to Get Hitched in the Palmetto State

✨ Step 1: Get Your Marriage License
• 📍 Head to your county’s Probate Court (apply anywhere—it’s valid statewide!) or check online.
• 💸 Fees range from $30 to $100—shop around if you’re on a budget!
• 🕒 Reminder: There’s a mandatory 24-hour waiting period after applying.
• 📄 Bring: Your ID, birth certificate (if required), and know your Social Security Number.

✨ Step 2: Plan Your Perfect Ceremony
• 💍 Find an officiant who fits your vibe! If it’s not me - and I hope it is!- other options include ministers, rabbis, notaries, or even a friend ordained online.
• 📱 Check local wedding groups or Google for help finding someone experienced.
• 👀 Fun Fact: No witnesses are required—just you two and your officiant!

✨ Step 3: Seal the Deal
• 📝 Your officiant will guide you through signing your marriage license post-ceremony and return it to the Probate Court.
• 📑 Need certified copies for name changes or insurance? Check if your county sends one automatically. If not, request extras from the court or SC’s Department of Health.

Other Quick Facts:
• 🏠 You don’t need to be a South Carolina resident to marry here.
• 🌈 Same-sex marriage is 100% legal at the federal level—even if SC has outdated laws still on its books. 💖
