Meet David

A Life of Service, Love, and Family

My name is David. I’m a retired United States Marine with 20 years of service, a husband of 35 years, a dad to two incredible adult children, and a very proud grandfather of two beautiful grandchildren. Oh – and I share the couch (and most of the pillows) with a chocolate lab named Semper, who pretty much runs the house.

This business grew out of a simple belief: the same honor, loyalty, and commitment that carried me through the Marines and a decades-long marriage are the values every couple deserves on their wedding day. Your story matters. Your family matters. And I consider it a privilege to stand with you as you promise "forever".
  • Retired Marine – 20 years of service, discipline, and dedication.
  • Happily married for 35 years – a real American love story built on loyalty and laughter.
  • Proud father, grandfather, and dog dad – I know how important family is on your big day.

How I Serve You

Turning Your Story Into a Ceremony

Every couple I meet brings a different history, a different family, and a different dream for their wedding day. My job is to listen first. From there, I help you shape vows and moments that feel true to who you are, whether your ceremony is faith-based, spiritual, secular, or somewhere beautifully in between.

We’ll start with a relaxed conversation, no pressure, no script. I want to hear about how you met, what you love about each other, your families, your values, and how you want your ceremony to feel. From there, we decide together if I’m the right fit to stand with you on your day.

Together we’ll outline your ceremony from start to finish, readings, vows, family involvement, traditions, and special touches. I’ll guide you with structure and options, but you always have the final say. My goal is for you to recognize your story in every word.

When your wedding day arrives, I bring calm, clarity, and a steady presence, the Marine in me never really retired. I work alongside your vendor team to keep things on track, support your family, and make sure your ceremony feels warm, sincere, and unforgettable.

Rooted in Service

Twenty years in the Marines taught me honor, preparation, and calm under pressure. I bring that same mindset to your wedding day, so you can breathe, be present, and actually enjoy the moment.

Family at the Center

As a husband, dad, and grandfather, I know how big this moment is for your family. I’m there to support parents, grandparents, kids, and chosen family so everyone feels included and respected.

What I Believe

I believe in love that lasts, in showing up for one another when it’s easy and when it’s not, and in ceremonies that honor your story, your values, and your future, not just a script on a page.
