Happy Couple Chronicles from Christian & Blair.

There’s nothing better than marrying your friends. And honestly this backyard dinner garden party was a midsummer nights dream. Plus, I got to say “blowjob” during a wedding ceremony and that’s a win I’m not likely to repeat anytime soon. Truly though, turning to a close friend (and fraternity brother) of 20 years as I read him his marriage vows was a privilege that made me emotional. What a joyous honor. & Thanks for letting me make fun of you in front of your families.

Does a more winning romantic wedding photo even exist??? Only on Valentine’s Day at The Madonna Inn can you have a winged Cupid and bright red heart floating above you during a ceremony surrounded by pink & red florals and not only does it NOT look ridiculous but is actually 100% on theme in visualizing the vibe for the entire event. I mean… shoot an arrow through my heart because I’m obsessed!
❤️💘💘💘❤️

Happy couple chronicles… from Nicole & Nick.

These two truly lovely humans and their wonderfully hospitable family are going through trying times right now, but they are all so vibrant that I know they’ll get through it together. I’m wishing the whole family my love!

Get a load of this dream team! Every once in a while in the midst of a ceremony, even while I’m speaking out loud, I’ll get this zen-like feeling and think… “I am killing this right now!” That’s how good I felt during Paulina and Ken’s wedding and I’m willing to wager that’s how every other vendor there felt as well. When a team comes together the way we did, everything feels so effortless and fun. It doesn’t feel like work; it’s a privilege. If I could jam with this team every time I’d be one happy non-denominational minister. Roll call…

Allie planned the first wedding I ever officiated. This was back when I was an amateur “friend” officiant and hadn’t yet obtained professional status. When I launched my business, she was one of the first people I reached out to. Her enthusiastic support galvanized me. It still does. Her vibe as an event coordinator is totally my lane as an officiant, and so long as I don’t end up in the hospital again so she’s forced to step in and do my job for me (true story)… I think this will continue to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

How many weddings have we don’t together now, Allie? As long as you keep settin’ ‘em up, I’ll keep knockin’ ‘em down. 🎳

(I didn’t like the way this photo looked on my feed yesterday, so I’ve revised and reposted. Gotta keep it classy on the gram. If you liked it yesterday like it again today. If you didn’t here’s your second chance. Like me Love me Fuel my attention seeking!)

Get a load of this dream team! What a joy it is to work with pros that know how to keep things light while prioritizing the couple.

DJ notices an audio issue and meets me with a fresh mic right as I’m entering the ceremony so I don’t miss a step? We got you.

Bride is feeling faint and needs some extra time before waking down the aisle? We got you.

The couple is anxious in the spotlight so your team of fabulous vendors rally behind you to ensure you’re comfortable, joyous and laughing your tushies off during the ceremony? WE GOT YOU!

What can we say, we’re memory makers, folks.

Happy couple chronicles from John & Lexie’s… Mom?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… moms love me! And we all love them. Moms are the best. And Lexie’s mom thinks I’m the best. Which makes her the best of the best. Of the best. Of the moms.

The Oscars might be postponed, but we’re sweeping up here at RomCom Weddings. (I said “we” but it’s just me 😉.)

Awards use to motivate me, especially as a filmmaker. Until I realized that external validation was fueling me more than the internal love of storytelling. So I cut all concern for awards out of my life. I don’t watch any award shows anymore because I’ve intentionally de-valued their importance in my life. Doing something meaningful shouldn’t be measured in the number of gold statues collected, but instead by the positive impact you’ve had in warming a single heart. In moving someone so momentously that they will remember your act of kindness, your creativity, and the space you created for joy all the rest of their days. That kind of success cannot be measured. And truth be told, more often than not, the artist never even knows of the impact they’ve had. That is true, meaningful success.

That all being said… it’s nice to fell appreciated!

Officially in my game show host era. Who wants to play “Does anyone object!?”

Happy New Year! It’s a new beginning, so allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Nico Raineau, a Professional Wedding Officiant and filmmaker specializing in stories that make hearts swoon and bellies jiggle. What I enjoy most is creating lasting, meaningful memories that become a part of your life. You know that one movie you watch over and over again because it holds a special place in your heart? Well, I try to do that. Sometimes with movies but every time with your wedding ceremony. Here are some more fun facts about me...

(1) I’m half French. My father is from Paris and much of my family lives there. I’m fluent enough to order pain au chocolat but by no means could teach a class in applied chemistry. So, if you need a ceremony performed in French, je suis ton mec!

(2) I directed and co-wrote a romantic comedy with my wife called HOOKING UP. It came out on March 20, 2020 - literally the weekend cinemas shut down nationwide due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We lost our big Hollywood premiere, our theatrical release, and everyone was too busy buying toilet paper to know that it even existed, so it never really had its day. BUT you can still rent it and enjoy it at home. And if you look long and close enough, you may even catch my cameo!

(3) This year, my wife and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. I never expected to be a professional wedding officiant. It’s not exactly something your High School guidance counselor suggests you major in. Every ceremony I officiate reminds me of the vows I made to my wife and keeps me accountable. It’s a beautiful job, one that I believe has kept me inspired in my own marriage. I try to sprinkle that inspiration into every marriage that I officiate.

My books are open for 2025 and I’ve already started sessions with a few of my couples! It’s shaping up to be another busy year and I’d love to be a part of yours. So give me a shout and let’s chat about how to make your wedding day unforgettable.

We’re all worried about AI taking our jobs but, in this photo, it couldn’t even turn my microphone into a candy cane. In other words, I think we’re safe for at least one more year. Happy Holidays, y’all. 🎤🍭🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m not a court stenographer but I’m pretty sure this is verbatim.

Happy one month anniversary to these two lovable love birds.

Congratulations to Tharsis & Brandon, who tied the knot during a simple signing ceremony with me at the courthouse this morning. And these two weren’t the only friends I made - their dog’s name is Miko, so naturally we hit it off too.

Unless anyone hits me up for another “Signed, Sealed and Something Special” license signing this month, this closes out my 2024 wedding calendar. Huzzah!

Congrats to the newlyweds! Let me know if you need a dog sitter 🐶

Five years ago today, our Rom-Com was released nationwide. It’s a story about two people who learn that in order to overcome personal obstacles and find love, they first need to learn to love themselves. I wrote it with my wife when we were still dating, we packaged the film while getting married, and we (exec) produced it together as husband & wife. It’s a story I had the idea for since college but I never would have succeeded in bringing to life without her. The trials of getting it made are another story, but I like to think of this film as a product of partnership. We built it together, faced it all side by side, and we’re still standing to tell the tale. It’s a chapter in the story of our marriage. Five years ago today I was a different version of myself. Since then my life has experienced immeasurable and unpredictable change. I became a father, a home owner, a professional wedding officiant, an award winning screenwriter, a displaced wildfire evacuee, and the husband of a cancer survivor. I’ve experienced joys beyond imagination and f*ck-my-life level lows. And it all seems to have started when this movie was released on the same day the Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. It’s been a hell of a ride. All I know right now is that I’m desperate to make another film, one that actually defines me more accurately, and to dig deeper into the profound meaning of performing marriage ceremonies. Anyway, if you haven’t seen the movie, check it out for some good laughs and some good feels. We all need that now more than ever.

The exchanging of rings is a highlight of every wedding ceremony. Every officiant has their own way of doing it. I continue to revise and refine what I say during this moment as I learn more about the history and meaning of this ritual. Did you know that men only started wearing weddings rings in the 1940s during WWII in order to symbolize their commitment to their partners back home, which the jewelry industry than capitalized on in creating marketing campaigns targeted toward men? Both partners wearing rings is not a time honored tradition. Here’s a short snippet of how tend to make it special, with customization for each individual couple. Lexie & John’s ceremony was a dream. I am absolutely relieved that @belairbayclub was unharmed during the recent Palisades wildfire and cannot wait to celebrate there again soon with Nicole & Sakib! This venue showcases what getting married in SoCal is all about. #RomComWeddings

This is a true story.

Broenyn & Alex celebrated their 11 year anniversary this past weekend by getting married. It was an honor to preside over their ceremony with a wedding party comprised of friends who have been with them from the very beginning. These two have already weathered some challenges but they are deeply committed to one another. Alex is committed to not asking her what’s for dinner every night and vowed to just make what he wants so that she’s doesn’t have to decide, and Broenyn is committed to not responding to tough emotional conversations by covering her head with a blanket and hiding from him like a Halloween ghost. Marriage level unlocked. This team of vendors was boss level, by the way. Everyone was so chill and attentive and ON IT. F*ckin’ dream team! This couple knows how to pick ‘em. Congrats to the newlyweds!

I’m fortunate to tell many charming meet-cute and proposal stories, but few couples have as good of a first date story as Paulina & Ken. Admittedly, it’s SO GOOD that this story commandeered much of their ceremony. When the bride thinks the date is going so poorly that she pretends to be asleep in the groom’s car… that kind of story ingredient gold deserves being made into a full meal. And theirs was yummy! We had so much fun celebrating these two as they got married, with the help of their ADORABLE pup Stanley. And now these two nursing school buddies are wifey and hubby. Who would’ve thunk it??

Jocelyn & Russell have a love story full of simple serendipities, seemingly insignificant coincidences that solidified their romance. As fate would have it, these simple serendipities manifested during their marriage ceremony as well - and a few of them even had to do with me! Video by @fatamorgana_photo #RomComWeddings

That time during a wedding ceremony when… I told a story about a butt plug. I don’t often get a couple that truly is an open book and is down for me to go HAM, so when I do you better believe I take full advantage of the goods. Thanks Andrea & Stephen! Video Credits to the GOATS —> @onestory.weddings Shout-out to planner extraordinaire @popthechampagne #RomComWeddings

Before every ceremony, I like to welcome the guests to the wedding, make any announcements the couple has requested in a playful way, and give the Bride & Groom a proper introduction. This sets the tone that (1) the ceremony is in confident hands and (2) no one here is gonna have to slog through another boring-ass wedding snooze fest - we’re gonna have some fun and do things a little differently. Welcome to your RomCom Wedding ceremony! Video by @fatamorgana_photo #RomComWeddings

🎁 Looking for the perfect wedding gift this year? 💝 Give the gift of a RomCom Wedding. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Why?? Because I have no other discernible skills! 💍 For real though - you won’t regret it if you do but you might regret it if you don’t. 📸 By… @sergeygreen @gaev_alexey @fatamorgana_photo @nicolecatherinephoto @pamelatatz @photoxjosh #romcomweddings

🚨PRO TIP🚨 Don’t invite guests to take photos of the couple at the START of the ceremony —> they don’t know what to expect yet. Instead, let everyone take selfies DURING the ceremony once they realize how much fun we’re having! Make space for an unforgettable moment 📸 I LOVE it when my couples choose this optional addition to their ceremony. And I’m getting a new phone in 2025 so that my selfies will look even better!
