Today I met with two different couples to discuss their weddings.
(I’m an officiant. Reverend Lauren Hufft.)
Both couples told me “I knew I was going to marry them when I met them.”
Let me help plan your ceremony this Summer.

This is really really good advice.

Responding in an attuned and compassionate way after someone suffers a loss.

I met with a couple today to talk about their wedding ceremony.
I always ask how they met and what happened to make them move forward.
He brought her CHEESE to her job after their first or 2nd date.

He.brought.her.cheese.

I’d take cheese over flowers.

Happy Monday from San Francisco, California

Gather round all!
Auntie Lauren is going to tell you a very touching Christmas story.

It was Christmas Day 1987 and I was on-air at KRLT in South Lake Tahoe.
I had just moved to the lake a few months before and didn’t know anyone well enough to spend Christmas with.
After pulling a couple of air shifts, I stopped at 7-11 on my way home to pick up my Christmas feast: tater tots, hot chocolate and peppermint Schnapps.
Upon getting home, I made myself the hot chocolate adding a couple of glug-glugs of schnapps to my mug and put on my favorite Christmas album “The Forester Sisters”.
I kept drinking the schnapps and played the same cut over and over and over and over: “I’ll be home for christmas.”
Being drunk, lonely and missing my family, I drunk dialed my Mom.
Sobbing “The Forester Sisters keep singing how they’ll be home for Christmas but I WILL NEVER BE HOME FOR CHHHHRRRRIIIISSSSSTMASSSS!!”
Not my finest moment but a much talked about with my Mom for decades to come.

Fast forward to a few years later.

I’m working at KOZZ in Reno.
The sister station at the time is KICK fm, a country format.
Who’s being interviewed? The FORESTER Sisters!!
I go into the booth during a break and say “I have a story about one of your songs.”
The dj says “Lauren! Tell it on air!”
I’m like “nahhhh... can’t I just tell it now?”
Forester Sisters and dj all decide I’m to tell it on-air.
So I do.
I tell about the schnapps, the playing the same cut over and over and over, then drunk dialing my Mom.

*Silence*
Not even crickets.
Finally one Forester Sister starts to laugh. Another one joins in. The dj lets loose. The whole studio is laughing.

A Forester Sister says to me “we get story’s of inspiration about our music all the time but we’ve never had a ‘drunk dialing a mom while on schnapps’ story!!!”

Fast forward again...
I’m at The Nugget. I get on an elevator and who should be on that elevator but a Forester Sister.
She looks at me and points “YOU!!!! Oh my god!! YOU!!! We were doing The Grand Ole Opry’s Christmas Special and they wanted us to sing ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’. We kept cracking up because of YOU!!!”

Moral of this story: one person can make a difference.

Merry Christmas

In 2018 I had the honor of doing the commitment ceremony of Eva and Craig.

This morning I came across their ceremony and cried yet again.

“We gather today to celebrate the love of two people as they commit a lifelong promise to each other.
Seven years ago they made a choice to say ‘who are you and how can you fit into my life?’
We celebrate that choice today.
Craig/Eva please give each other your tokens and repeat after me:
I commit to you. I promise to be faithful to you, to give and to receive. To care and to console, to inspire and respond. Loving you now but even more in your growing and becoming.
I will love you when we are together and when we are apart.
When life is peaceful and in disorder.
When I am proud of you and when I am frustrated with you.
I will honor goals and dreams and help you to realize them.
I will stand next to you as your equal, stand in front of you to lead the way and stand behind you to catch you when you fall.”

I am booking for this year’s Burn.

If you’ve been asked to deliver a message at your loved one’s wedding, shake off those jitters and follow these seven steps for an unforgettable wedding toast.

Tuesday night at about 5:10 I got a call asking if I could officiate a simple wedding at 6.
“Sure!”
Here’s the thing: the couple has been living together for 25 years.
Her Mom has been after them to get married instead of “living in sin”.
Why last night? I have no clue.

Today I went to file the license.
I see a couple getting their marriage license.
We end up walking out together.
I say to them “I’m an officiant. We can do this ceremony right now! We’ll get the security guard to be the witness and BAM! You’re done.”
They both chuckle.
We continue to walk together.
I say to them the same thing I say to every couple “Just a reminder. This is your ceremony. If you don’t want someone you don’t have to invite them. That includes your Mother.”

She stops.
Looks at him.
Looks at me.
“How did you know?”

Let me help you plan your ceremony.
I’ll help you make it as unique as your relationship.
