this wedding may have one of the most meaningful ones. \u00a0On a beautiful day in June 2015 Darrell and Donald were engaged on the steps of their church on the day that marriage became legal for everyone in the United States. \u00a0That same weekend a year later, they were married at the same place in one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies I&#8217;ve ever been a part of.<\/p>\n<p>All day these two gentlemen were just so darn excited to finally be able to celebrate their love\u00a0with their loved ones. \u00a0EVERYONE was so excited for these two and tears of joy were everywhere during the ceremony and huge grins and smiles were abound at the reception. \u00a0It was such a great day full of love! \u00a0That feeling will stick with me for a long time (hopefully forever).<\/p>\n<p>Many congratulations to you both! \u00a0Thank you for trusting me with your day and documenting your love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ceremony:<\/strong>\u00a0<a
