Please for the love of your vendors, the ones that are there most, if not all evening, need to be fed. Most are now including that in their contracts. Don’t be like this bride. Reading more of her comments on this post in another group, she thinks NO vendor deserves to eat as she is paying them to there working for her and not eating. That’s wrong on so many levels. That’s entitlement to the extreme. At both my daughter’s weddings, we made sure EVERY vendor had food and they ate when everyone else ate.

Hey all my LGBTQ couples! If I’m not officiating and you need a Mama there because you don’t have one or yours doesn’t approve of your choices, I would be honored. I have a few dresses to wear. I can travel anywhere in the Montgomery county area and surrounding areas. No fee. Donation for fuel only.

Thinking about adding a service of a wedding website for a couple. Fee would be contingent on how far out the wedding is. It would have things like a map of the venue, address of venue, nearby hotels, links to their registries, names and pics of wedding party, an RSVP link and any other info the couple wishes to include. I would also include a spreadsheet of the RSVP responses if they want.
What do you think? Think this would be a thing or not?

And an update to my last post: since many are going the “I’m going to have my family member or friend officiate my wedding ceremony” route 90% of the time, my days officiating may almost be over.

06/07/2024

So I saw this post in another group and commented on it. The post is the photo. This is my comment: “As an officiant with over 10 years experience, it’s not ‘just 30 minutes’. We take time to get to know you. Most of us write a customized ceremony, when we are wanted at rehearsals, we help the coordinator or we are the coordinator for the rehearsal, so we are essentially doing 2 roles. We have websites, most charge travel fees on top of that fee (I do not), we have wardrobes specific for weddings (at least I do). So a lot more goes into it than most people think.”

I know most couples now are having a friend get ordained online which is fine and saves money. But remember, that person has known you forever and you may not like the things they say during the ceremony. They may not share with you what they are going to say for your ceremony so you will be caught off guard with any embarrassing things. They may ramble on and on and make your ceremony longer than you want. They may say they are comfortable talking in front of a large crowd and then get stage fright.
I have over 10 years experience and have officiated over 800 weddings. I have done religious and non-religious, hand fasting, fisherman’s knot, cord of three strands, lasso, and many more types. I do NOT charge a travel fee like most others do. My questionnaire is very thorough. If you chose to use someone else that has never done this, I also offer to write the ceremony so you have all the legal things in the ceremony and know that your ceremony is what you want it to be.

So we are more than just a 30 minute vendor.

If you’re looking for a caterer, this is one of the best and one of 2 that I am constantly recommending. The food is delish. Their mashed potatoes are awesome! You won’t be sorry!!!

I help my daughter hide ducks when we go. I also find some on occasion. I also make the duck tags for ducks in my Etsy shop.
Speaking of making things, I will be adding a page to my website sometime of cruise shirts, tumblers, and of course, duck tags. Things for cruises that I can customize for you.

Have you ever found or hidden a duck on a cruise ship?

If you were going to get your marriage license today, call first to see what time they are closing. The weather is impacting them and they are closing early. Not sure if it’s just the main off or all county clerks offices.

Wedding #1 of the weekend is is the books. Wedding #2 is tomorrow. I can’t wait for the wedding on May 4 as it’s Star Wars themed. More the dark side than the light lol

After meeting this morning with TXDOT and local stakeholders, several details were ironed out to hopefully mitigate traffic back up because of the 1488/1774 railroad crossing closure.
1. It will be April 24 and 25, instead of the 25, 26 and 27 that was originally proposed.
2. Only the railroad crossing itself and Melton, from 1488 to Smith will be closed. 1774 north and south, along with Business 1774 will still be open.
3. There will be officers at multiple intersections working the traffic boxes or directing traffic to minimize the back up of regular light cycles.
4. Detour maps to be posted soon.
