Wedding Date: March 13th 2020

I first met these two at the beautiful Semple Mansion, where they would in turn say their vows. Tara is direct and knows what she wants while Mike is her steady ship. They love sharing life with others and they even brought my wife Janelle on board to help plan and carry out their wedding dreams. They got the whole Vick experience! The Semple Mansion hummed all day from start to finish as these two promised forever. Guests gathered and it felt refreshingly normal as the world was bracing all around for an eventual lockdown. We would hang onto this love story, these hugs, and these promises even today as I write. What a special time to witness the joining of these two soulmates, it is something I will cherish for many months to come. From my entire family to you, skol.
