Operation: To Honor

About OTH

Operation: To Honor, LLC embellishes what we were born to be, servants helping others any way we can. OTH will fill the gap of whatever it is YOU need help with both personally or professionally for your business. From Elopements and Pop-Up Weddings to family events or destination corporate retreats. We can plan it all for you. Need someone to care for a loved one temporarily? We got that covered. There is no job too big or too small. 


The best part, our profits will go towards our unofficial nonprofit that will provide Military/Civil Servant Appreciation Weddings, Baby Showers, and family events in the near future. We will be a rescue to those in crisis, that have no where to turn. Being mobile for our business means we can be mobile for someone who has selflessly served and is in need of help NOW.

I’m grateful you’re here, and truly honored to help you create your special day.

As a lifelong caregiver, a wife to a 100% disabled Combat Veteran, and a mother and grandmother, service and compassion have always guided my path. My husband and I have walked through many challenges together—PTSD, TBI, cancer, and the ups and downs of military life—and those experiences strengthened our commitment to helping others.

We’ve spent years volunteering with veteran-focused and adaptive-needs nonprofits, especially camps that provide healing and support. Giving back has become a core part of our lives and the heart of this company.

I look forward to serving you with the same dedication, care, and integrity that shaped our journey.


In 2016, I earned my degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management (HRTM), specializing in Event Planning, a field that I am naturally inclined towards. My experience includes organizing "Mini proms" for 8th graders, various school dances, and serving on the PTSA as the teacher appreciation and hospitality chair. I have also decorated and coordinated eight weddings, themed birthday celebrations, and baby showers, among other events. 

     



I truly cherish every element of event planning! I enjoy being inventive and discovering unique touches for that special individual or couple. My goal is to create tailor-made experiences for each event! I have evolved in my journey, and I am incredibly proud to be operating my own business alongside my wonderfully supportive husband, doing what I love, serving others! 

For the past five and a half years, I have had the privilege of caring for my aunt, who has alcohol-induced dementia. We created a sober home for her, and she has successfully remained sober, now thriving in assisted living, which she chose to connect with peers her age.

Upon graduating with a degree in HRTM in 2016, I felt my education wasn’t complete. Guided by a higher calling, I attended Liberty University and earned my bachelor's in Psychology, focusing on Trauma/Crisis and Military Family Resilience. My goal was to support veteran families coping with post-combat challenges, as over 22 veterans—now believed to be around 40—take their own lives daily, not to mention all other civil servants and how their spouses are affected. 
We must do better! 


     


In November 2019, we held our first fully donated Military Appreciation Wedding for a 100% disabled Marine, launching Operation: Peacekeeper, our unofficial nonprofit. The event was made possible through the kindness of volunteers and donors who didn't care about a tax write-off! However, the pandemic disrupted our plans briefly. 

By August 2021, we acquired our land, but in October 2022, I was diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer. I underwent holistic treatments, followed by radiation therapy. On September 27, 2023, I had surgery, successfully removing the tumor, and by the grace of Yahuah, all cancer was gone. I am a survivor, and my journey continues as we continue to grow and head in the direction we have been called.

 I appreciate your consideration of us for your event, to assist you in giving back to those who risk their lives daily. We do not see ourselves as THE JUDGE; we believe in treating everyone with kindness. We are called to LOVE and show GRACE, engaging with you without imposing our beliefs. Thank you for trusting us with this part of your journey. 

LET'S START CELEBRATING!!!! 

OTH, His & Hers Vintage, and Operation Peacekeeper are all built in honor of those we’ve lost, those who continue to struggle, those who have served, and those still serving today. We recognize and deeply appreciate the selfless sacrifices made by our Military, Police, Firefighters, and EMTs—every single day. Our gratitude extends not only to them, but to their spouses and families as well.
Service is a family commitment, and we honor that fully.

We will never forget Rammon Macon—a respected Marine, devoted husband, and loving father to four amazing “Chickens.” He will forever be our friend, and his memory continues to inspire everything we do.

If you would like to honor a friend, battle buddy, or loved one who has passed—whether through service or through their own personal battle—you are welcome to share their photo and a short tribute. Please email it to us, and we will proudly add them here.

We keep their memories alive. Always. Forever in our hearts.
