"They took the time to get to know us, to understand what this day meant, and what he created in the ceremony was perfect.
The highlight of the entire experience was a couple of days later, when I was asked by a guest at our wedding who the pastor
was and they commented: "He (Pastor David) seemed like he really wanted to marry you two, it was almost like he was just as
proud to be there as you and your wife".
I could not have described him any better. Thank you, Pastor David, for making our day even more special."
