Having a father who was a minister, my biggest dream growing up was to have my father walk me down the aisle and then preside over my wedding ceremony.....just like he did my oldest sister. However, the Lord had different plans for my father and took him home before I graduated from college. Heartbroken and disappointed that I would not have a special wedding because of that......Tony and I had considered just eloping. But in the back of both of our minds.....we wanted a way to blend our two families and have a "meaningful" wedding ceremony.
My sister helped me locate Susan Kennedy, and from the moment I first met her, I felt she was a very genuine and caring person. I had no idea the great sense of humor she had and just how much I'd grow to like her. I'm proud to say that even though I've moved three states away after my wedding, I feel as if I have a very dear friend back in NC.
Tony and I want to thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony........it was stress-free, fun, and absolutely perfect! I couldn't have imagined having a ceremony quite like that. It was totally different from the ceremony I would have had with my father
(a traditional one). So the Lord works in mysterious ways......because the ceremony touched our hearts and the hearts of everyone there. Thank you for encouraging the participation of my children.....my daughter has worn the little gift (silver anklet) we presented her with during the ceremony every day since.
God Bless you and your family, Susan. We love you.
Tony and Nancy Lanier
