Perhaps one of the smaller, yet amazingly important details of a wedding lies in the spoken word: who will officiate the ceremony?
Often times couples have someone they can think of off the top of their head, like a relative, pastor, or friend. However when they don't, finding someone they trust and vibe with can be quite the task.
Luckily for our giveaway couple, Crystal of Northern Michigan Wedding Officiants, donated her officiating services!
"Crystal is simply wonderful. Crystal took the time to really get to know Tyler and I. She met with us for dinner and wanted to learn as much as she could about us and our story," Maire said, "Crystal asked all sorts of questions to get a deeper understanding of the type of people Tyler and I truly are. As the person who will be uniting Tyler and I as one, I am so grateful she took the time and effort to learn more about us individually and as a couple."

Crystal is known for going the extra mile, and it really showed for Maire and Tyler.
"Not only did Crystal want to hear from us, she contacted our maid of honor and best man to get their input," Maire said, "To provide a ceremony that accurately describes Tyler and I, Crystal really went the extra mile to find out more about us from asking about what we love about each other to asking if we could meet one person who would it be."
Having a trusted individual officiating your wedding really alleviates some of the stress associated with planning. When you feel you're being taken care it, it makes all the difference.
"We are so grateful that Crystal will be the person marrying us. She is full of joy, humor, and has a heart full of kindness. Crystal is very accommodating and encourages couples to do things the way they want it to be done," Maire said, "Before Crystal, Tyler and I did not know who we were going to have marry us. We are so thankful to have gotten to know her and that she has gotten to know us. I know our ceremony will be timeless and very beautifully done because of the passion, grace, and joy Crystal radiates."
And timeless and beautiful it was. Check out a couple of sneak peak photos from the ceremony, and stay tuned for more, as well as the recap video featuring Crystal, and all the vendors who came together to make this wedding so beautiful.
