Beautiful Tallahassee Wedding Ceremony at the Southwood House

Last Saturday, I had the honor of officiating Kelly and Ayers beautiful Tallahassee wedding ceremony at the Southwood House.

The ceremony started at 11am and was held under the oaks trees so it wasn’t too hot. Pretty white chairs were setup in the grass. The oak trees with hanging Spanish Moss provide so much natural beauty there was no need for any decorations.

Kelly and Ayers are a very easy-going loving couple. Kelly wore a white knee lengthy spaghetti strap dress and Ayers wore khaki pants and a Tommy Bahamas type shirt. Kelly was walked down the aisle by her son then I officiated their special ceremony. Kelly and Ayers were very excited that I was open to personalizing their wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony that included 2 bible readings and messages reminding all that love is the foundation of a strong relationship.

After the ceremony everyone was going to gather inside the Southwood House for a lunch reception.

A few days after the ceremony Kelly sent me a very touching emailing:

Thank you very much. You did a great job and we really appreciate you letting us write the ceremony & vows that we wanted. Several of our friends & family members commented on how well everything went. I had looked at your website and was familiar with you prior to meeting Jessica. She did recommend you to us when she found out that we were looking for someone to officiate our wedding. We actually got our marriage license in the mail yesterday. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job in personalizing our wedding to fit us. Would happily recommend you to anyone seeking a wedding officiant.

Me with the newlyweds!
