Banquets of Minnesota – Fridley – Nov 1, 2025
Samantha & Alec rounded out my couples for 2025. I have to say Samantha was one of the calmest brides I have ever worked with. She was on top of everything and very organized! She looked radiant in her beautiful dress and Alec made a very handsome groom. The day went without a hitch and I see a long and happy future for these two!
Banquets of Minnesota – Fridley – Oct 24, 2025
I got such great energy from this couple, Kim & Aubrey, right from the moment we met! They are so in tune with each other and it shows. The love radiates from them. They both looked stunning in the contrasting dresses that they wore for their special day. There was so much joy between these two that whatever comes their way I see them smiling and loving each other through this life they are sharing! I was blessed to get to know these two!

I met Kevin’s parents to help them make a lot of the plans for this wedding. Kevin lived up north and so he and his lovely bride Liezyl really could sit back and enjoy the day that was planned for them with love and attention to details. It was a very simple and traditional ceremony and the couple looked so sweet and in love. I wish them all the happiness in the future!
Cozy Cabin – Up North Oct 11, 2025
Another of my son’s good friends, another bonus daughter! chose to do the small intimate wedding as the sun set in Northern Minnesota. It was a brisk but beautiful day with very close friends and a few that were viewing via phone due to being out of state. Katie & Saul couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting and perfect sunset. After personal vows and a handfasting with blessings to all of the elements. A large family table was set up in the cabin for a wonderful dinner and dessert to complete the day.
The Armory – Northfield Sept 26, 2025
I did not preside over this daughter’s wedding and got to enjoy just being Mother of the Bride – way more work! After 12 years together Caiti & Travis figured it was time to make it “official” they chose to have a night wedding (no dinner) so that they could invite everyone who was import to them. They had tables full of deserts and a Pizza truck at 9pm. They chose to do a pizza cutting instead of a cake cutting. The arch was decorated by me and I designed the bouquets as well. It was a nice ceremony but the after party was amazing there were close to 250 people there to celebrate this love. I am a tad biased but she was the most beautiful bride and Travis cleans up quite nice as well. They have an amazing foundation and I will be blessed to see their love grow as the years pass.
Luminaire – Minneapolis Sept 13, 2025
Grace and Reggie are very near and dear to my heart. I have known Grace since she was in 5th grade and she had a locker next to my son. I have always thought of her as a bonus daughter, so to be asked to preside over her wedding meant the world to me. The weather that day was beautiful and despite the “craziness” that always happens on your wedding day she was calm and ready for the day! I caught my breath when I saw her for the first time, the dress was exquisite and with the hair and make-up she looked stunning. Reggie made a very handsome husband down to the Nordic braids! In my humble opinion the ceremony was very heartfelt and personal without being overly so. They were surrounded by so many friends and family it was an absolutely spectacular day! Wishing them so much love going forward in their journey through life.
Brittany and Drew was the first wedding this May weekend! They were a wonderful couple I had the pleasure of working with for a very short amount of time. Their love and devotion to each other and this commitment was evident from the moment I met them. She was absolutely radiant and he was beaming with love and pride. I wish the the greatest life together! Brittany shared a wonderful story with me in a card along with a $2 bill – there is a story to that and it is wonderful, I will cherish it always, it hangs above my computer in my office.
Lashaunda and Ashley’s love declaration was a spectacular event! They were surrounded by so many friends and family we filled the stage! It was a fun afternoon getting to meet all the extended family and friends. They both looked stunning and it was a real celebration of commitment. Here’s to many, many more years of wedded bliss.
With the blessing of the brides, I will share that the following day they continued in the celebration with a commitment ceremony adding Rocklan to their commitment to each other. I am honored that they felt and understood that I am truly a “love is love” person, and that commitment can take on many different forms. While this isn’t a legal binding they all three took this commitment and dedication to each other very seriously and with great care. So thank you for the experience of writing and creating words to seal a Throuple.
I cannot say enough good things about Bridal Aisle! My daughter recently said YES to the dress and we were thrilled at the selection and affordability! The owner greeted us (Annette is wonderful – met her through a networking event) and the staff was wonderful. Our personal stylist, Tammy, was amazing and knew just what to look for. I highly recommend taking the trek to Osseo, you will not be sorry!
This little guy is what kept me away for the past 2 1/2 years – moved to DC when he was born 10 weeks premature (69 Days in NICU) went out to help for the summer and it got extended. Got back to Minnesota in August and was lucky enough to perform 3 weddings since I have been back – getting my feet wet! The family came for the holidays and I refilled my heart! I am looking to make 2025 the best year so far with weddings. So if you or someone you know is getting married, give them my name. I hope you and your family have a great year!
Brianna and Aaron were the last wedding of 2024 for me and what a fun bunch the whole group was. They were laid back and you could tell they were just ready to tie the knot! It was a very short, sweet and simple ceremony with focusing on their love for each other!
