Hey,
I just wanted to thank
you and tell what a great ceremony that was. I have had many
compliments...lots of folks said it was the best wedding they ever
attended, and many people have asked for a copy of the ceremony.
I had one comment from a
long time friend that I wanted to pass along. She said that
she wished you had stayed for a while after the ceremony...she
felt that you had so much to offer and she wished that she could
have talked with you. That is a high compliment indeed, and
you impacted many people in a positive way on June 21st.
Thanks again!

Dear
Kayelily,
Thank
you so much for performing the wedding ceremony for Andrea and Jeff.
We found it quite moving as did all those in attendance. It was
especially meaningful to them and created a memory they will cherish
always.

you,

Kay,
There are no words that Mary and I can think of that would describe
how happy we are about having you marry Jen and Martin. Having a
friend and a connection to both our lives and heritages conduct this
celebration is a sign that fate is truly guided.
All we heard at the reception was about how "perfect" the
ceremony was. Our take on that is that is was truly spiritual,
meaningful, heartfelt, sincere, trusting, warm, funny, caring,
"blah, blah, blah---" (only referring to how efficient your
rehearsal was without removing the relevance of what was to come...).
You are indeed 'ordained' to give meaning to people who want and need
to care about each other. How better friend could any one person have
than to be able to say, you and I knew and cared for each other
then, (40 some-odd years ago) and we still know and care for each
other today; you and Mary know and care for each other even today and
we are all sharing in passing that love and caring on to our kids, who
get it.
Kay, Mary and I are blessed with having you sanctify the love and
marriage of our Jen and Martin. Thank you and we will forever be
grateful.

It was a thrilling moment and will be a lifelong memory in my life to
officiate the ceremony for Jennifer, the daughter of Dave and Mary.
Dave and I graduated from high school together in Cedartown GA many
years ago. Mary and I work together during the week in the same
agency.

Dear Kayelily,
How do you thank someone who has given you the greatest gift
of all—the gift of becoming husband and wife? I have been
struggling to find the words. I feel like I have heard your name
practically all my life. The connection you have had with my dad [friends
in high school], and then my mom [work
together], made the wedding all the more special.
Everything met and exceeded all of my childhood dreams. It was just
perfect. Thank you so much for helping us have
such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much.
Love,
Jennifer
Dear
Kayelily,
Thanks so much for the beautiful ceremony. It was
perfect!

Dear Rev.
Kayelily,
I thought the ceremony was just so beautiful, and you did a
wonderful job. You were so natural and gentle, and Hilarie and Bret
said their vows so well...so clearly and sincerely. I loved it all,
and much of it is thanks to you. I really appreciated your kind and
gentle ways. I had the ceremony augmented and a CD of the entire
ceremony produced as a gift for Bret and Hilarie....music, readings,
and all. It is such a wonderful treasure for them.
Thanks again for doing a great job on August 9th.
Most sincerely,
Mary Jane--mother of the bride

Dear
Kayelily,
We
want to thank you for the beautiful ceremony and for everything you
did to make our special day happen! You did a fabulous job! Our
family and friends are still talking about the ceremony. Thank you
also for recommending St. Mark’s Chapel. It seems as though it was
meant to be the way it all worked out. We are very happy.
Love,
Maria and Travis
Maria
and Travis’ wedding was originally scheduled for September 21st
at Outer Banks, but it seems that Hurricane Isabel had other plans
for them. Determined to get married that weekend,
they called Kayelily on Thursday the 18th to see if she
could officiate a wedding somewhere in Raleigh that weekend. The
search for a new site and the ceremony creation proceeded at
“hurricane” speed and they had a wonderful wedding, flip flops
and all, just as if they were at the beach!

Dear Kayelily,
Bruce and I are
now back from our honeymoon and getting into our daily routine. We had
a wonderfully fun and relaxing week!
I want to pass
along that I got several compliments on the wedding ceremony and
wanted to thank you for all your guidance in getting us through this
special event. I loved the final ceremony, and even through my tears,
I was still aware of what was happening. I had hoped to not cry during
the ceremony, and was truly calm and at peace that whole day until I
took my brother's arm.
But despite the
tears, I really enjoyed the ceremony and special day overall. I will
cherish the words you, Bruce and I spoke.
Also, thank you
so much for the pictures you sent! Thank you also for the
handkerchief. I'll keep that specially too.
Most of all,
thank you for being part of our special day! We were delighted to have
you officiate.
All the best to
you in the future.
Connie and Bruce
