If you scroll through these ceremonies, you will see some beautiful, happy couples❤️, but there’s one thing you can’t see 👀
A long time ago, a past employer told me that he values soft skills over experience. He pointed out my innate ability to adjust my personality based on the client’s personality, or better put-
adapting your communication style, demeanor, and overall approach to align with the client’s personality and preferred interaction style.
It’s funny because I never realized that I did such a thing. As a wedding officiant, I realized how valuable this skill is to my couples!
Obviously every couple is unique, and they also want to feel like they mesh with the person performing their ceremony. I, without thinking or trying, become who you need me to be. I am laughing with you, being strong and serious or a calming presence for you. I can read the room, read your energy and often, your mind. There’s been times that I’ve deviated from the script, just a tad, to inject a little icebreaker when I saw/felt some uncontrollable nerves from the couple. Every time, I received the same reaction following the ceremony: “Thank you SO much, you don’t realize how much we needed that!”🥰 (Oh but I did 😉)
