An Intimate Barn Ceremony

“When it came time for our vows, which we wrote ourselves, Jon said his to me and then turned and got on his knee and said his vows to my son, Sylas,” Amanda says. “Everyone was in tears. It was the most special and heartwarming moment of my life. I am so proud and grateful to have found not only my life partner and best friend, but also the most amazing father I could ask for to raise my son. His vows to Sylas were, ‘I promise to teach you how to throw a ball, bait a hook and how to treat a woman. I promise to love, protect and encourage you. I promise to give you hugs in public, even after you think it is embarrassing.’”
