We loved having Orlinda officiate our wedding. Being out of state, we had a phone call with her for our initial meeting. She then had us fill out a questionnaire and send it back t...
o her. From this, she wrote out a first draft of what she would read out at the altar. She managed to make it feel very 'us' and was open to any edits and thoughts we had. We wanted a snowy wedding and Orlinda didn't complain, and somehow managed not to shiver, as she was marrying us. We loved what she wrote and it very much felt like she actually knew us and our relationship. She did such a great job. Thank you, Orlinda!
