Wedding Party
Steve Smith
Officiant
We are honored to have Steve Smith officiating our wedding. Steve has known Rick since they were just five years old, and their lifelong friendship brings a special meaning to this day. Kind, genuine man by day, heavy metal drummer by night - we couldn't think of anyone better to stand with us and help kick off this next chapter in our lives.
