There are a lot of people getting married on Valentine’s Day. But here in Corpus Christi, something special happened along the bayfront.
Wedding company, One Love Wedding Ceremonies , offered free weddings for couples who decided to tie the knot on February 14.
One of the couples was Daniel and Diedra Rainey. They have been together for nearly eight years after first meeting online. Diedra said it was butterflies when she first laid eyes on her sweet Daniel. He added that he didn’t really care much for the holiday until he met the love of his life.
“It’ll be 8 years in April. So I’ve never actually really liked the fourteenth,” Daniel said. ” I thought it was superficial, so she actually likes Valentine’s Day, so I wanted to also like it for her.”
The Raineys said there are only a few words to describe how they feel: happy, emotional, and enchanted.
Reba Gondara is the owner of One Love Weddings and is also the officiant. She began the company at least two years ago after officiating her best friend’s wedding in Hawaii. However, this is the first year she decided to offer free weddings on Valentine’s Day.
