A Beautiful Soul - Wedding Officiant

This month is flying by! It's already the Summer Solstice, and I'm thrilled to celebrate these June newlywed couples who are beginning their journey together. It was a joy to officiate each of their weddings, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness and love.

It was my honor to usher in the month of June by officiating for this amazing couple at DanWalt Gardens. Mother Nature blessed us with spectacular weather, and everyone loved seeing the garden, showcasing all the new blooms. In honor of this garden, I wrote a poem about getting married there.

“I do” in a Garden of Glorious Hues

DanWalt Gardens, a place to say, "I do",
With flowers aplenty, in every hue.

In April, tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths bloom,
Spring’s call to romance and a reason to swoon.

May brings alliums, phlox, and hostas too,
Hellebores and lungwort, a dream come true.

June's larkspur, peonies, and roses so fair,
Create a backdrop of color for the couple to share.

In July, under the sun, the garden blazes with color,
Hydrangeas, daisies, and roses, blessing the summer.

August's angel's trumpet and the hibiscus delights,
A magical garden, still bright in the moonlight.

September’s dazzling dahlias, daisies, and asters,
Bloom with Chrysanthemums, to invite a new chapter.

October’s garden lingers with the last-colored petals,
Ideal for the couple to share their heartfelt nuptials.

From November to March, this tranquil garden sleeps,
Preparing for another spring, when once again love leaps.

The rain broke just in time to marry this amazing couple at Camelot Ranch. My favorite part was their unity ceremony. They chose the "Wedding Plant Watering Ceremony". In this ceremony the couple adds water to the plant three times celebrating the past, present and future of their relationship and love. And this plant becomes a symbol of the success of their marriage, and how both need nurturing to succeed.

This lovely couple exchanged vows at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center. The religious language they selected for their ceremony was deeply touching to officiate and resonated perfectly with the couple and their loved ones. 😇 They additionally loved the idea of being married by a "Saint", which is my last name. 😉

The elegant simplicity of this gown takes my breath away! It is another piece of art created by THE ATELIER, BY JIMMY CHOO.

I am officiating two wedding at this beautiful venue this year... and would love to officiate more. Perhaps I'll see you here. My mom and I are making an appearance. ❣

I am a huge fan of Grace Kelly! She was such an icon, plus I thought my mother looked like her. Now that I am in the wedding business, I look at images like this through different lenses. I see the artistry! I feel so lucky to have discovered this calling.

03/14/2024

As an artist that officiates weddings, I am obsessed with the design of "couture" wedding dresses. One of my favorite design houses is ATELIER COUTURE by Jimmy Choo. These high-end dresses are insanely expensive, but they are also works of art! ❣

Especially for the artists.

03/04/2024

From BIG to little, I officiate all types of weddings.
This sweet couple couldn't get in at the courthouse, so I got the call. I helped them tie-the-knot at Zimmerman Park. I also thought their outfits were creative, and warm considering it was cold outside.

Frozen Promises
Flora & Jason’s Winter Wedding

In Zimmerman Park, on a chilly February day,
Flora and Jason pledged their love in a timeless way.
Amidst the snow's shimmer, under the sunset's glow,
They embarked on a journey, together to grow.

Surrounded by loved ones, they exchanged vows so true,
With hearts full of joy, and eyes that softly knew.
As they raise their glasses, to past, present, and beyond,
In love's embrace, they joyously respond.

In this month of love, their union did commence,
A celebration of love, in its purest essence.
May their days be filled with laughter and delight,
As they walk hand in hand, into the starry night.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the couples I have wed... and to those I have yet to wed. This poem is for you.

WHISPERS OF LOVE

In the heart's quiet chamber, love does bloom,
A symphony of passion, like a sweet perfume.
On Valentine's Day, our souls entwine,
In a dance of affection, divine.

Roses bloom, their petals deep in red,
A testament to love, forever widespread.
Cupid's arrow, a gentle, piercing art,
Binding souls together, never to part.

With every heartbeat, a vow we renew,
For love everlasting, forever true.
On this day of hearts, our spirits soar,
Entwined in love's embrace, forevermore.

I find immense satisfaction in sculpting prose that brings stories, including my own, to life. My ability allows me to intricately craft wedding scripts, evoking the poetic beauty reflected in the verses below. Envision the transformative impact I could make on your wedding ceremony. To me, every wedding, no matter how modest, is a canvas for creating a true work of art.

In honor of this "month of love", I laughed out loud from this one...

I know my own soulmate needed to be saved from the players! ❣

I married this couple while they stood by the brick with their son's name carved in it. In honor of the son they lost I wrote this prayer for them.

Bryson’s Brick

In Rose Park, where memories bloom,
Underneath Heaven's vast, eternal room,
We gather today, with hearts intertwined,
A sacred space, love's legacy enshrined.

In the circle of bricks, Bryson's name,
Carved with love, an eternal flame.
A child's spirit, forever near,
In this sacred moment, you hold him dear.

Lord, bless this union, this sacred vow,
As they stand before You, here and now.
In joy and sorrow, in sun and rain,
May Bryson's memory soothe your pain.

Grant strength to this couple, bound by grace,
Walking this path, hands in embrace.
Through trials and triumphs, let love prevail,
A testament to a story that will never pale.

In the Gift of Life, where roses sway,
Guide them, Lord, in Your gentle way.
Bless this ceremony, under the sky so vast,
With Bryson's memory, everlastingly cast.

As vows are spoken and rings are exchanged,
May Your love, dear Lord, be unchanged.
In this sacred space, where memories reside,
Bless this union, in You, let them confide.

Amen.

A stunning formal wedding unfolded at Sage Lodge in Paradise Valley. SiLaine Closson, the wedding planner, orchestrated every detail seamlessly. The couple brought in family and friends from around the globe for this extravagant celebration. Despite the unexpected rain during the ceremony, it added a unique touch, symbolically washing away the old and ushering in the new. Explore some captivating photos of the event captured by Wild Mountain Photo.

Itch-Kep-Pe Park in Columbus and this amazing boulder played host to this sweet couple as they tied the knot. Thank you, Mother Nature!

PS - I wish I had photos from all the weddings I officiated. If you have one I'm missing please post it. Thanks!

I have a lot of photos to sort through from my summer weddings, but here is a recent one from a ceremony on top of the Beartooth Pass at 10,947 feet. The scenery from up here is jaw dropping~!

As soon as I get more photos sorted, I'll post more ❣

There is nothing quite like taking formal into the outdoors, especially when it is in Yellowstone Park. Six bridesmaids in long dresses and the bride's train had to be carried by her dad through the sagebrush to the site where they got married. Everyone really enjoyed it! I'll be excited to see the photographer's photos, although that usually takes a few months. At least you can get a sense of the drama from this one.

I am off to Hamilton today for another wedding. My mom is going with me, so we'll get some mother/daughter time! The couple I am marrying were college sweethearts, but now they are older and rekindled the love they never lost.
Lots of family, including grandkids, will be there to support them. I normally wouldn't travel this far but they are compensating me well, plus I love their love story!

What a fun wedding! This couple was a blast to work with, fun personalities. They chose Nolan Reservoir near White Sulphur Springs to tie the knot. The drive through early spring in Montana was beautiful, and there are many more trips to make this year.

Bragging!
It is always nice to have validation.

This bride delivered big drama with this amazing train. I loved officiating this wedding in Helena at the Montana Club. It was a very traditional wedding that included a Ring Warming Circle, A Lasso Ceremony, and the 13 Coins Ritual, all of which were important to the bride's family & heritage.

See if I am available for your wedding.

I LOVED OFFICIATING THIS WEDDING!

On Valentine's Day, amid the snow
Two hearts entwined, their love aglow
They chose to wed, on Rimrocks high
Beneath Heart Rock, with love to bind

Their vows were said, in whispered tones
As snowflakes danced, like Nature's drones
A perfect day, to start anew
Their love, forever strong and true

With none to witness, but the snow
They said their vows, with hearts aglow
And promised to each other true
Their love, forever to pursue

What is A Beautiful Soul?

A beautiful soul is someone who radiates warmth, kindness, and compassion. They have a deep sense of empathy and are attuned to the needs and feelings of others. They are genuine and authentic, with a sense of inner peace and harmony that shines through in everything they do.

A beautiful soul is someone who sees the world with a sense of wonder and gratitude, and who approaches life with an open heart and an open mind. They are not afraid to be vulnerable, to take risks, or to stand up for what they believe in. They are guided by their values and principles and are willing to make sacrifices to uphold them.

A beautiful soul is someone who inspires others through their actions, their words, and their example. They bring light into the world, and lift up those around them with their love, their generosity, and their wisdom. They are a source of strength and comfort for those who are struggling, and they always seek to spread positivity and hope wherever they go. In short, a beautiful soul is someone whose presence makes the world a better place.

I was interviewed about my business. It was fun to describe the best part of what I do!

02/20/2023

It is fun to be inspirational. My choosing to be a professional Wedding Officiant was guided by my need to replace an old career with a new one. I have multiple sclerosis which has affected many parts of my life, and it got in the way of my old career. But being a good officiant, I do that really well. Plus, I cannot imagine a more heartfelt and inspiring career to have pivoted into. I get to vicariously feel the JOY of the couple getting married when I ask them to say... I DO! It can be quite a high. I LOVE... ❤️!!!

On a gorgeous summer morning last year, Karen Saint woke early to begin her trek into Yellowstone National Park. It was just before dawn and shades of pink started to paint the sky. As she met up with a young couple, geese squawked overhead. The morning was just beginning to awaken. Together the thr...
