I'll tell you what, I was nervous at first...my wedding was at 2:15pm today at the downtown New Braunfels gazebo. You are told to get there no earlier than 15 minutes early. We were there exactly 15 minutes early and there was no one in sight to indicate that we would be getting married 15 minutes later. About 10 minutes in, my Mom notices someone and says I think that's the Reverend. We watched nervously and prayed that it was in fact the Reverend performing our ceremony. Thank God my Mom was correct, I was no longer in panic mode. First impression, Rev Jesse instantaneously put us at ease, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. He's personable and wanted to sincerely make it special for us. He asked us whether we had anyone else we were waiting on and we let him know that we were also expecting the photographer. He looked and said that he did not see it right away but that it would not be unusual if we booked it separately (which we did). Rev Jesse apologized for something that was completely not his fault (turns out the photographer was scheduled for the day before) and took action to make sure it was corrected for us! He let us know that he could get a photographer out to us within about 30 minutes, if we were willing to wait. It took about 40 minutes, but we didn't even notice because Rev Jesse kept us entertained with great conversation. The photographer who came out was so incredibly sweet and took many pictures. She let us know that if we felt like our package didn't provide enough photos that we could upgrade anytime...But she was not pushy, just informative...We appreciated that so much. Back to Rev Jesse...the ceremony was beautiful, he is eloquent, smiles, makes eye contact and is very much in the moment with us. He made me cry because I was so touched by his words and the fact that I really felt that it was important to him to make this special for us. He is the best and honestly the $75 we paid for him to marry us is a steal...because the time and care he provided us is worth at least triple. Rev Jesse, thank you...Thank you for making this so special for us, this was 6 years in the making and I'm glad you were the one that made it official. I can't remember the photographer name, but when I do, I'll update this post...but, Thank you, I appreciated how you took the time with us and how beautiful you made me feel. I don't get the negative reviews, it didn't necessarily turn out as planned but the hiccups were easily fixed and it was worth the wait.
