On Saturday, September 28, 2024, I officiated Stephanie and George’s wedding ceremony at the Carlisle Room in Dallas, Texas. Here are the remarks I shared with them and their guests:
Stephanie and George’s meeting began pretty conventionally. Stephanie says: “George and I met online through Bumble. Since women message first on the app, I wanted to make an impression right off the bat. My very first message to George was sending him a random number and telling him to remember it. He was very confused about what this number meant and eventually I told him that the number I shared with him was my ring size. To be fair, I had seen a video on social media about the best pick-up lines for dating apps. This goes to show that you can always trust what you read on social media because here we are!”
George describes the setting: “We arranged our first date in Deep Ellum.” I feel like first date in Deep Ellum is definitely a different vibe than first date in downtown or uptown. “The connection was instant. I felt such a clear signal that there was something special between us. Possibly the funniest thing that we bonded over that night was how we both loved ketchup on pizza. I mean talk about find the One!”
George leaves out a crucial detail. Stephanie adds, “George decided to take me axe throwing for our first date. I was very excited to go but incredibly nervous that my throwing skills would make the axe turn into a boomerang.” Like I said, Deep Ellum is just a different vibe…
Stephanie adds about that night and what followed, “I knew George was the one when we immediately started dancing together, without even saying anything, and it felt like we had been dancing together for years. The more I got to know George, the more I fell in love with him. His genuineness and kindhearted spirit drew me in instantly.”
George says about that time, “We fell deeper and deeper in love. The more time we spent together, the more it just made sense and at some point, it became impossible to imagine a future without her in my life. Not only did I fall in love with Steph, but also her family and her history.”
Stephanie sums it up when she says, “I cannot wait to love him as a husband and a father to our children. He makes me the happiest person on the planet. My inner child and I feel safest when we are with him. Not only do we feel his love but also his support of working on my continual relationship with her.”
And George agrees, “I know that in Steph, I have found my soulmate and the person who completes me in ways I could have never imagined. She is a beautiful and radiant woman that loves making others laugh and sharing meaningful conversations and experiences. Her kindness is like no one else’s. She constantly reminds me that it’s okay to relax because life is better when it isn’t so serious. In her, I’ve seen so much strength, stability, and peace.”
