Tonya knows how to walk with grace and authority at the same time. Her presence is peaceful, yet powerful. And as she stands with us at the altar, we know she’ll not only unite us in marriage but also bless this next chapter of our lives with truth, love, and divine energy.

Rev. Tonya, thank you for being a guide, a voice of truth, and someone we trust to lead us into forever. Your role is more than ceremonial—it’s sacred, and we are truly honored to have you bless our union. 💒✨

Our wedding party is made up of the people we cherish most, and we cannot wait to celebrate with them and all of you on June 14, 2025! 💍🎉
