..........................: wedding

ANYONE can perform a marriage ceremony in this state. Yes, it's true, any person you feel fit to
Solemnize your wedding may do so. And so, here's a fun story to go along with my reason.

One Friday night, about 2 months ago I was bartending as usual when an unusual question came my way.

"Uh, Kristen, Is the power vested in you?" Nick asked with his wonderfully hicked out drawl.

"Well, kinda Nick. What are you talking about?" I questioned back.

"Well, uh, we were uh, wonderin' if you, yeah ya know, uh have the ability to marry people." (I shut my eyes)

"Yeah, Kristen, we were wondering if you would like to marry us December 2nd?" Loretta chimes in at oh such an appropriate time.

Humbled and amazed, with shivers running up and down my spine, I replied, "I would love to!"

So, this past Saturday at 2:00 in the afternoon, I performed a beautifully simple ceremony celebrating what God had already done in the lives of my two friends Nick and Loretta and joining a family together with a ring of promise to Loretta's daughter Page. It was one of the most truly incredible moments of my life. So, here's a few pics...enjoy! (click them to see more, or just scroll down to view what's here)
