Cassandra & Johnny ~ Love Recognizes No Barriers
It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope" ~ Maya Angelou
By Christine Tollette ~ Officiate
For him it was love at first sight. They were in high school and he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He tried to get her attention but no luck...so the next day at school he decided to walk right up to her in class. Only then did he realize she was deaf....but that didn't stop him. He told her interrupter to tell her all the things he wanted her to know....she is beautiful and he wanted to take her out!!!
He brought her to Anna Maria Island - his birth place - to marry her on the white sands of Coquina Beach. I was so fortunate to be the officiant and Paul of Chi Photography did the photos. Unbeknownst to us, both Paul and I decided we wanted to learn how to sign something for the bride. Gotta love YouTube....so I learned how to sign "Nice to meet you" and "Congratulations". Paul walked up and immediately signed "My name is Paul" .... The couple were so grateful that we took the time to do that for them. We were just so happy to make their wedding dreams come true.
