On a path to finding forever, Laurie Worden has been there from the start.

Laurie Worden officiated her first wedding and was surrounded by love. She was joined at the altar by "two fantastic young friends."

Worden shared moments from the joyful experience, "I hope I was a better officiant that day than a selfie taker, but seriously one of the happiest experiences for all of us present! Just a really lovely day of promises and joy."

Seriously one of the happiest experiences for all of us present.
