Chasidy and Dwayne married in front of the apple tree in their back yard.

Their close family and friends shared in the joy.  Both Chasidy and Dwayne wrote their own heartfelt vows and promised to stand side by side until this life is over.  Their love for each other and for their family/friends was so evident to me.  It was the biggest blessing to witness this new beginning and to share in their happiness for a bit of time.  I loved seeing the obvious closeness that they each have with each other’s children and family.  Blending two families with love and compassion is not always easy, but it’s worth the effort, and it’s the biggest blessing over time.

Chasidy and Dwayne, I wish you many years of laughter and joy.  We all know that life will bring moments and even seasons of struggles and sorrow, but you have found the one whom your soul loves. “Doing life” with your person is one of the our greatest gifts on earth and makes our valleys more bearable and our mountains a bit higher.   I’ll always remember your wedding with a smile and I’ll always be cheering you on.   Love and blessings,  Pat
