My very first wedding was never something I planned—it was something that found me through what I like to call divine intervention. Years ago, I met a woman at a training for an accounting firm we both worked for. From the moment we met, we clicked instantly—bonding over laughs, life stories, and a connection that felt deeper than coincidence. We adopted the monikers —“Pork Chop” and “Teddy Graham”—and stayed close even as life took us in different directions.
One day, she called me with some exciting news: she was getting married! I immediately said, “Send me an invitation and I’ll be there!” But she had something else in mind. She told me I was the only person she could ever imagine officiating such an important moment in her life. I was honored, surprised, and admittedly a little nervous. I asked her more than once, “Are you sure?” And she was. So, I said yes—and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
Since officiating her wedding in 2017, I’ve had the incredible privilege of marrying six other couples, each one a reminder that love shows up in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. Now, it feels like things have come full circle as I join Yvonne in this journey, officially launching the Pennsylvania division of Blissful & Blessed Unions.
Born and raised in “Steeler Country”—Pittsburgh, PA—I bring heart, humor, and professionalism to every ceremony I lead. I believe deeply in the power of love, and I know just how important it is to have the right person standing with you as you say, “I do.” I’m currently building a beautiful life with my girlfriend, Tasha—who I hope to marry one day—so I understand firsthand what it means to choose a partner and walk into the next chapter together.
Outside of officiating, I’m passionate about music, singing, traveling, food, and spending time with the people I love. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I treat every ceremony with care, preparation, and the kind of joy that reflects the love you share.
Taking on this role alongside my good friend Yvonne is a true honor—and I don’t take it lightly. My mission is simple: to give couples one less thing to worry about, and to bring authenticity, warmth, and presence to every ceremony I’m part of.
