♥ David and Chelsea ♥

David is a Navy Seal and his love Chelsea is in the Army National Guard.  The two hope to be stationed together soon.  David and Chelsea are going to have a large wedding later on in PA but wanted to tie the knot now.  They were married in my living room and their wedding was witnessed by my husband and neighbor.


♥ Matthew and Tiara ♥

Matthew and Tiara were married today at the Rose Garden in Fayetteville, they had a beautiful wedding and the venue was free.  I provided their two witnesses.  Matthew has only been in the Army for seven months but decided to marry his sweetheart from RI.  Tiara is going back to RI to finish her accounting degree and then join Matthew as soon as possible.  It does not have to cost a fortune to have a beautiful wedding with the one you love!



We really appreciate everything you did for us, and most importantly helping us make our special day that much more wonderful. These are the pictures our photographer got with all three of us in them. Again thank you so very much,


Ty Gregg

Reverend Darlene,

We just want to say "Thank You" for performing such a beautiful wedding ceremony for us on November 11, 2011. It was an emotional experience and it was laid out beautiful; every word meant so much to us and we are so thankful that you performed a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget. 

With love always, Michael and Annmarie

A very charming couple named Loryn and Ty had a classy wedding Saturday at The Fountain, located in downtown Fayetteville, and I was honored to officiate. Their wedding theme was the 50's. The whole wedding party wore the 50's style clothing with the bride even carrying a lace umbrella. Their colors were red and black with the groom wearing black with white tie to include the 50's style black and white shoes. I am really looking forward to seeing their wedding pictures!


The fountain at the front of the park on Green Street is a popular site for weddings. To reserve the fountain for your special occasion, call (910) 433-1547.

I was honored to officiate the wedding of Jennifer and Darell at the Rainbown Room on 3-24-12, downtown, Fayetteville.  Jennifer and Darell are both in the military and Darell just recently returned from Afghanistan.  The colors were red and black, and the weather was perfect for the ceremony.
I was delighted to meet Becky King from The Belmont Village, a beautiful historic home in downtown Fayetteville where any perfect wedding can be held.  They offer Catering, Flowers, Cakes and Photography and DJ service, a one stop wedding event can be had there.
I attended a Wedding Expo at the Holiday Inn 3-25-12.  I met a very new vendor who just moved to NC from Ireland called Tie the Knot Films.  He not only films your wedding, but your wedding story as well.  He films couples starting with the story of their meeting all the way to their wedding day.  Go to http://www.tietheknotfilms.com/ to see his wonderful films and photographs.
