Congratulations to Irma and Leslie, just married at the .universityclub in beautiful Irvine, California.

Their first date was in Irvine so it was a nice, full circle moment for these two. They had a great story and a fun crowd. I was honored to be a part of their big day.

Back at First Presbyterian Church in Orange as a guest speaker today. Last time I was but overdressed in a suit, so this time I let my hair down and rocked a ninja turtle shirt.

Are you looking for a pastor for your wedding that isn’t uptight? I think you may have found him. 😉

Friendly reminder: Get out of the way for the vows!

You’ve heard it said 1000 times about the kiss, but you should move for the vows too.

Imagine if I was standing there just staring at them while they read their vows like most officiants do. Crazy, right? Most people don’t think about these kinds of details, but experienced professionals do. That’s why you should hire a pro.

Congratulations to Gabriella and Reginald, just married at the beautiful in San Clemente!

This was a lot of fun! The story, the crowd, the energy… everything was beautiful.

I love marrying my premarital counseling couples. I always feel so connected to them and that I know them in a much deeper level.

Meeting them face to face for the first time today felt like meeting old friends or family and I love that.

Gabby and Reggie, thank you for choosing me to be your officiant. I was honored to be part of your big day.

Late last night I posted a pic from my old DJ days, and nothing got the party started at a “white” wedding like Sweet Caroline. That got me wondering, what is the “black” wedding equivalent of that song?

What song never fails to get people singing and swaying or dancing along? Is there a song that EVERYONE knows that gets played at just about EVERY “black” wedding?

Let me know in the comments.

Also, I know this doesn’t have anything to do with being a wedding officiant. I just need to know…. for science.

School starts tomorrow so I may be slower to respond to messages and inquiries this week. Please be patient with me.

School starting also means that my Back-to-School promotion ends tonight at 11:59 PM. I’m not doing any more promotions after this so take advantage while you can if you can.

Thank you.

Blessings!

I saw this meme and figured I’d share. It’s marginally funny but it brings up a teachable moment.

By now you’ve heard me and a bunch of others talk about how important it is to get out of the way for the kiss picture.

You’ve also seen pictures and heard me talk about getting out of the way for the vows and other important moments.

One thing that I don’t think gets talked about enough is getting out of the way for the recessional pictures.

Just about every couple and every will have the couple pause and kiss at the end of the aisle after the ceremony ends. Sometimes they’ll do it twice and there are even fireworks or rose petals or whatever.

The officiant needs to be out of the recessional shots too. While I know some officiants feel the need to direct traffic down the aisle, you can do that from the side and out of the background of their aisle kiss picture.

I think I said this in a video before, but I stand off to the side holding back the best man to keep him from going down the aisle too soon and photobombing this very same picture. We talk about it BEFORE the ceremony but I always give a reminder and hold them back until the proper time.

Officiants, don’t be the reason someone requests editing you out. Get out of the recessional pictures too.
