Do you see how I step out of the way for your first kiss? Very demure. Very mindful.

Trust /n/:

1. firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something

2. one in which confidence is placed

Everytime I stand in front of my couples, and the people they hold near and dear, it's not mere happenstance. It's because they have trust in me. They trust I will deliver on my promises. They trust that I will give their story the care and attention it deserves. They trust I will make their ceremony unique and unforgettable.

To all Meet Me at the Altar Couples who have entrusted me with their love story and their ceremony, thank you for making me an essential part of your special day.

I will forever remain grateful.

Can you guess what my announcement is!?

As I put on this heart brooch for the first time, one of my favorite quotes came to mind..."Clear eyes, full heart, can't lose!"

Maybe it's the athlete in me, or my love for sports TV drama and movies, but many of my favorite mantras just so happen to be sports related.

So let's dissect this quote from Friday Night Lights...

Clear eyes - Stay focused
Full heart - Don't half-ass what you're passionate about
Can't lose - Go to bed knowing you did your absolute best...even when no one is watching.

Alright, Ope, what does that have to do with officiating weddings!?

My focus - My couples. Making sure I understand their vision for their special day .

My passion - People! Stories! Love! What brings us all together and connects us... no matter where we come from and no matter who we love.

My winning mindset - go above and beyond to create an experience my couples will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Ever heard that only a friend or family member can make your wedding ceremony intimate? That's a myth!

A professional officiant can bring just as much, if not more, love and personalization to your special day. Your wedding should reflect your unique love story, crafted by someone who understands and respects that.

Ready to have a ceremony that truly reflects your love story? Inquire about my services today, and let's create an unforgettable experience together!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms who show up day in and day out for their children. Motherhood is a selfless act, and your support, effort, and unconditional love don't go unnoticed.

A special thank you to my mom for being the rock of my family.

Happy 1st Anniversary Jessica & Stephen!

Just a year ago, you were saying “I do” surrounded by your closest family and friends. With joy and laughter filling the room you made promises to one another to last a lifetime. Reflecting back on your wedding day, I can’t help but smile. I feel so blessed to have witnessed the love and happiness that surrounded you both on that day.

May your anniversary be filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Cheers to many more years of happiness and togetherness!

I'm always so grateful for the honor to officiate my couples' wedding. There is something extra special when the couple you're marrying are your friends!

Surrounded by their family, Dennell & Bryan said, "We do!" and joy and laughter flowed naturally through the ceremony.

Just as many of their friends and family said, "being a part of Dennell and Bryan's community, you get to witness how their life is so playful, fun, and full of humor and joy on one hand, and on the other also so full of thought, reflection, and genuine consideration about the deep things that matter."

I wish you both a lifetime of togetherness in love, joy, happiness, and weirdness!

Me, when I get my couple's questionnaire back:

*smile*
*grin*
*hold back tears*
*laugh*
*awwwww*
*cheesing from ear to ear*

Then I read it again.

My couples are the best!
