We were married by Sallie Albertina and she brought to our wedding ceremony a soft, sincere, authentic insight, selecting words that uplifted the spirit as she guided us into marriage with beautiful words of wisdom. Family and friends spoke of the joy they experienced as they witnessed our ceremony with the words chosen, the exchange of our vows, the beautiful setting, and officiated by Sallie with her beautiful British accent. Sallie contributed to the wonderful memories of our very special day.

Ashley and Jack,
