I am about to officiate a wedding and I wanted to share just a beautiful bouquet that is near the area where the couple is going to walk to. This is my 6th wedding, and it's something I do when I get a chance when I'm honored to do it. And it's so different each time. This is taking place in a place called the Brambles, which is Northern California near a town called Philo

So I want you to meet the husband, to be the groom. Met Barnes. We're standing in front of his beautiful Ford truck. I think that's his first love. But don't tell Jessica. And he just came out and we're about to go over his vacation hours, and he seems pretty excited. Lots of eating the last 36 hours. So the Pant button thing might be a challenge, but we're going to work through that. And he's all bubbles, all excited

The rest is just fun for me to watch. People have a great time embarrass themselves, get silly, and that's all enjoyable for me, too. And can you tell us how people could find you in case they want a gorgeous, wonderful wedding like that? Absolutely. A lot of it's. Word of mouth. But social media these days, that is key. You can just search up my name with an A. There's the only few out there. Yes. A-R-I-C-A

So it's sort of awkward. I am. I've walked into a very beautiful moment when the bride is getting her makeup done, and normally, no one should do this, and I'm probably naughty, but here she is

And you have these incredible layers of Moss. And then you have hundreds and hundreds of years old redwoods just bursting up to the sky, just proclaiming themselves. And it's just so romantic. It's like, I hope you're hearing this swell and going, oh, my God loves, because it is it's beautiful. And I just want to snap this shot for you to see it. And I'll continue from there

I'm standing here with a beautiful couple who's one of the guests. And I just want to ask you how you know the guys and and some thoughts and that love and why you have. Well, I've known Matt for about 15 years. He and I both had a place down in Mexico where we we got to know each other very well. And through that time, I've seen Matt grow as a person

Okay. This is Matt's brother, Tyler, and I've been hanging out with him a bit and getting to know him. And I just have such excitement for you to have this moment to celebrate and find out how you're feeling. I'm feeling very excited for the future of my brother and his new bride. And I can't wait to see what life unfolds for them. How's your family feeling about it. Thrilled you guys are having a blast

I'm sitting here with a beautiful honey, who is Matt's grandmother, who'll be 100 in a couple of weeks. And I'm so excited to hang with you. I got to pick you up at the airport and we gotten to know each other. And I just want to ask you your perspective on what is love and what is this whole thing that we do in ceremony wise? I think love is the couple being kind to each other. Kindness. Kindness

Hey, I'm standing with Mountain Jessica's buddy, Sean, who is the sound guy. And you've been so beautiful in your arrangement of all the music and just bringing all the gear. Can you just say Hello, just a shout out to them, obviously. But also what this is, this whole thing means to you. It's just special to be a part of it, because here in this Valley, we all have to kind of come together to make special moments

She was living at the Beehive here in the Anakin Valley. And then Matt. I always heard Matt's name over and over and over again. I don't know if I'll ever meet this guy, Matt Barnes, Matt Barnes. And then I think that the two of them are so special. So I'm really glad to be here at their wedding and to be serving food and taking care of all their friends. I know

And may your love continue to grow. So, guys, it's an honor to be here. The venue is amazing. And Matt the caviar as we walk in the door off the table. I've never seen you smile like this.

Whew the wedding is now complete. It was so beautiful. It was super emotional in so many ways, just the perfect experience and really helped helped kind of hopefully launch them into their new life. I hope the family participated. Friends participated. Music was epic, and they planted some bulbs as a symbol of growth. And here's a picture of Jessica walking down the aisle. And I think I'm going to go party now. So I hope you enjoyed this little swell merit wedding
