The Meaning Behind The Name
Named for Dr. Harroon’s grandmother, Tommie Novella Pettit, Novella Vows is built on a simple idea: every couple has a story worth telling. Her grandmother’s voice still greets Dr. Harroon at the start of each day, a reminder that the words we speak to the people we love can carry us for a lifetime. Dr. Harroon is an ordained minister who officiates weddings for couples of any faith or no faith, with each ceremony written around who you truly are.
