From our conversations before the wedding to the ceremony itself, Pastor Frances poured into us in a way that truly made an impact. She challenged us to think beyond the wedding day, helping us understand what it means to build a marriage that honors God. We walked away with a stronger perspective on marriage, and we’re grateful to have someone we can still turn to for wisdom long after saying “I do.”
