💒 Our Officiant – Reverend Tonya Waller

Every love story deserves more than just a beautiful ceremony it deserves a spiritual covering. For us, that covering comes in the form of one extraordinary woman: Reverend Tonya Waller. She is more than our officiant. She is our voice of wisdom, our intercessor, and the heartbeat of the spiritual journey that has carried us to this moment.

Reverend Tonya Waller has walked with us through more than wedding planning. She has prayed us through trials, spoken life into our doubts, and helped us both grow as individuals and as partners. With every conversation, she challenges us to go deeper not just in love, but in purpose. She reminds us that love is not just a feeling; it's a calling, a commitment, and a covenant that must be nurtured with intention.

She has been a quiet force of encouragement during our highs and a strong voice of truth in our lows. Her wisdom is not only rooted in faith, but in lived experience. She’s the kind of woman who listens to what you say, but hears what you don’t. She has poured into us spiritually, emotionally, and even practically with grace, with firmness, and with an unwavering belief in who we are becoming together.

There were moments when we doubted ourselves, when we questioned our path, and when the weight of life made us wonder if we were ready for marriage. In those moments, Reverend Tonya Waller's words and prayers were like oxygen. She reminded us of our why. She reminded us of God’s promises. And most importantly, she reminded us that love is not about being perfect it’s about being present, accountable, and faithful.

The Reverend Tonya Waller has given us tools for communication, helped us break unhealthy patterns, and reminded us to always lead with love, even when it's hard. Her counsel has been firm, but never harsh. Her encouragement has been rooted in honesty. She doesn’t just care about the wedding she cares about our marriage. And that difference has meant everything to us.

It is her leadership that has helped us build not just a wedding day, but the spiritual foundation of a marriage. She has covered us in prayer, corrected us with love, and reminded us time and again that our union is a reflection of something greater.

Having Reverend Tonya Waller stand with us on our wedding day is one of the most meaningful gifts we could ask for. Her presence is a reminder that we are not just getting married we are being commissioned into a covenant, surrounded by the strength and truth of those who believe in us. She is not just officiating our vows she is anchoring our beginning.

Reverend Tonya Waller, Cleo and I would like to thank you for your grace, your fire, your truth, and your covering. Thank you for believing in this love, for walking with us when we stumbled, and for standing with us as we rise. We are beyond honored to have you lead us into forever. 💒✨
