Stepfather = Officiant

August 22nd, 2009 @ 11:40 am by Mrs. Star

Well, it’s official: my stepfather is legally allowed to marry people in the city and state of New York!

Yep, you heard that right, my stepfather is going to be our wedding officiant!

How did this come about, you may wonder? Well, as many of you may know, it can be pretty tough planning a wedding when you have divorced and remarried parents. Don’t get me wrong,…

Mrs. French Bulldog, Orange County Age and Occupation: 28, Administrative Assistant & Interior Design Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Purchasing Analyst Engagement Date: November 8, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: Bernardo Winery About Me: I've lived in Atlanta, Dallas and Laguna Niguel; although I've lived in Orange County, CA most my life, I'm a Southerner at heart. I work full time for a Commercial General Contractor (aka my father) and I go to school for Interior Design at night. I love modern design, music, wine, crafting, DMailing, my family, my Westies, and of course, Mr Frenchie! Mr Frenchie and I met 3 years ago on Match.com and have been best friends ever since. I love his "old soul" and how he laughs with his whole body, among many other things. We are planning our summer wedding at the winery near his hometown, just 45 minutes south of Orange County.
About Mrs. French Bulldog

Mr Frenchie is SUPER nervous about our wedding ceremony. He hates public speaking and being the center of attention (one thing we are complete opposites about). Standing in front of all 130 of our guests with all eyes on us is really stressing him out.

Last night we got together to run through our ceremony so he knew exactly when things were happening and when and…

So Excited! We Just Can’t Hide It!

July 10th, 2009 @ 2:45 pm by Mrs. D'orsay

Last night we met with our officiant for the first time. Ever. As in, I had never spoken on the phone or seen her in person ’til last night. Mr. D and I aren’t particularly religious and we come from different faith based backgrounds. We don’t have a church we attend regularly (when we’re not country hopping) and as such, we don’t have a minister…

Rye Bread with Margarine

May 26th, 2009 @ 5:36 pm by Mrs. Bear Cub

Before we got engaged, before we even had “the talk“, we talked one evening about how we didn’t want a priest to marry us. Mr. Bear Cub and I are not religious, and this tends to confuse a lot of people (especially my family). Luckily, those that don’t agree with our beliefs at least respect our right to live our lives the way we want…

Can I Get A Witness?

May 4th, 2009 @ 3:35 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

Recently, Mr. Bruschetta and I met with our celebrant, Father David, to continue preparing for our ceremony — and, more specifically, our marriage.

He’d asked us to come with the names and phone numbers of two “witnesses” each, family or friends who we’d be calling together to conduct a brief “interview” about us. We were uncertain what to expect, but selected four family members — Daddy…

A Tony Award-Winning Wedding?

April 20th, 2009 @ 12:33 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

Normally, brides hope for a wedding day free of theatrics. But, when I marry Mr. Bruschetta, I’ll actually be hoping for a bit of flair. See, our priest teaches in the Department of Theatre at Villanova University — and once spent four years working as a professional actor in New York City.

Father David and I became friendly during my junior and senior years. We both love…

We Have Our Officiant!

April 18th, 2009 @ 6:20 pm by Mrs. Labrador

I’m extremely thrilled to announce that my hometown pastor will marry us! I’ve attended Messiah Lutheran Church in Valdosta, GA since 1999. My pastor, Rev. Richard Pieplow and his wife will travel to Savannah to officiate our wedding ceremony.

I was fortunate enough to get to choose my religious denomination when I was younger. My family never really attended church when I was a child, so…

A Crisis of Faith

March 15th, 2009 @ 11:20 am by Mrs. Powder Puff

Well, folks. It was inevitable. Plans have been coming together too easily. Things were falling into place too neatly. It was only a matter of time until something major happened, and that time was this past Thursday.

On that fateful day, I was in the local drugstore, shopping for soap, when I got a call from the pastor who I had asked last May to perform…

He is the calm, logical and number crunching finance guy. I can’t even multiply double digit numbers in my head and I am so indecisive that trying to choose between light green or slightly lighter green paper stresses me out (Wedding planning is going to be soooo much fun). We both find great joy in nabbing great seats at the movie theater for a blockbuster movie on opening weekend, and we are both absolutely crazy about snowboarding. And he loves to cook, I love to eat!

Finding Someone to Marry You.

October 8th, 2008 @ 5:54 pm by Mrs. Martini

I thought we had our officiant in the bag.

Early on in our wedding planning, Mr. Martini expressed that he had a specific person in mind when it came to who would preside over the ceremony. He became close with this person at the church he attended during college, and although it has been years since they’ve spoken, this man held a special place in Mr.…

Thanks to Mrs. Eggplant’s post about making an appointment online to get our marriage license, we took care of that with the quickness and no hassle. For San Francisco, it’s $89 for the marriage license and $5 for the convenience fee to make an appointment online. So prior to leaving for my “Girls Gone Wild” in Vegas weekend, Mr. CB and I are gonna get semi-ficial…

Choosing An Officiant

Planning an intercultural wedding can be a lot of fun. It’s really interesting to read up on Chinese traditions and learn more about Mr. Cream Puff’s culture. I really wanted to have a Jewish ceremony without squelching Mr. Cream Puff’s culture, which it turns out will not be too difficult (more on that later). There are a lot of questions to answer about how the…

Sweet Reverend

February 15th, 2008 @ 5:45 pm by Mrs. Canary

Finding an officiant was one of the last things on our list, which may be contrary to other couples, since many plan their wedding based on the availability of the officiant. Initially, we were hoping Mr. Canary’s aunt would officiate. She is a very spiritual person and has a very close relationship with Mr. Canary, but with all the hassles of getting the right documentation…

(What do you think — family resemblance?)

At a friend’s wedding we attended a few months ago, there was one absolutely touching moment in the ceremony when the groom’s mother got up to say a few words. Her emotion and pride were so evident that I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.
