Christel Stuart - Wedding Officiant

Super Good Hugger
Story Teller
Wedding Officiant Dress Floofer. Groomsmen Wrangler. Storyteller. Hello lovers... you did it! The hunt is over! You found me!
(19)

I knew you would. You’ve searched high and low, swiped left and right, endured blind dates and crappy coffee. AND THEN... you finally landed on the love of your life…

You’ve also found your:

- venue

- florist

- classical ukulele player

- butterfly groomer

- taco truck

NOW you need someone to MARRY YOU and here I am.

Obviously you have gathered that my name is Christel Stuart. Now, let

me tell you a little about me. I left a 10 year career with AT&T to do what I do now. Officiating weddings has been the most fun, rewarding, exciting, and joyous “job” of my life. My first ceremony was my cousin’s wedding in Costa Rica in 2014 in front of a breathtaking waterfall. Not a bad day at the office, am I right?

Cut to today and I have officiated over 500 ceremonies in several states AND countries! I am happy to dress in costume, perform rituals like unity candles and knot-tying. I offer custom vows or read the ones you have prepared. When 2 people stand before me, they are filled with love and nerves and sometimes whiskey! I say some pretty words and ask some important questions and PRESTO-CHANGE-O they are MARRIED! So “changing lives” isn’t something I take lightly. Some people want a quick ceremony to “get it done” and some want the puffy marshmallow dress and the string quartet. I respect all of those decisions. Lately, I have seen that people want their friend to officiate their wedding. My goal is to be your Professional Friend. To capture the essence of the two of you while knowing where to stand, how to keep groomsmen sober-ish, and work with your other vendors. Officiating isn't only reading a beautiful script and asking for the "I do's". It's listening and learning about your love story so that you and your guests feel like we have known each other for years. I would love to find out more about you and what your perfect wedding day looks like. I want to change your life and marry you to the love of your life in a field, under a tree, at an outdoor chapel, in a gorgeous venue, or even out of the country. My passport is current and I can always use more stamps in it! LGBTQ+ friendly vendor

I have waited not so patiently for this gallery because I knew it was going to be a good one!!!
I had a BLAST with Meghan and Jared. I am a little surprised that they didn't take MY last name during the pronouncement because we all fell in love that hard!

I give you the newly Cowards!

They got married on a Friday the 13th, which I already have an affinity for! They got married in the morning, which I fully support! They got married at Vintage Villas and had their wedding party watch the whole thing, instead of stand up with them, which I haven't seen frequently. They promised to....

One year ago I was about to officiate my brother’s wedding and was WOUND UP! A little downward dog before we walked the aisle and I was much better.

This is much harder in a suit, FYI. 😁

I asked my husband to accompany me to a wedding recently.
Knowing he was in the audience was even more special when I mentioned trying to use the groom’s tips and tricks to hack my own marriage.

If it weren’t for this guy, I don’t know if I would be able to talk about love as well as I do.

This wedding was spectacular.
Inside jokes. Long distances. Living with intention.

Yep.

Here’s to the Ellsworths!

Leaving this here to remind me what we are all doing it for!

As wedding season is ramping up, ya girl’s gonna be BIZZY!
When you see me, hug me and remind me to take a breath and drink it all in.

When Austin and I stated dating, we celebrated our monthly anniversaries. We would race to see who would say “Happy Anniversary” on the 13th of any month. Today we have been together for 172 months.
That also includes the 25 prior Friday the 13ths. (We got married on 9-13-13)
I remembered the tradition this morning, and added, “I choose to love you today. Just like I chose to love you on our wedding day. And every day we’ve had since before the beginning. Literally THIS DAY … I choose you. There have been days when it was sketchy for us both, but today I can confidently say I choose YOU with whom to move forward”
