Payment & Planning
The $300 honorarium is collected during the third premarital counseling session. At that time, couples are also encouraged to share the name of their favorite church or charity. In honor of the wedding day, April donates 10% of the honorarium to the designated organization.

​

During the third session, couples will walk through the wedding ceremony, selecting options for vows and the exchange of rings. April will also help couples explore creative ways to share their love story—through words, music, and meaningful moments—making the ceremony uniquely theirs.
