Just about as genuine and down to earth as you can get. Spunky, and can light up a room.
I began officiating in 2013 - it began as a suggestion/favor from a friend - and then turned into a passion. Your special day is like a work of art - you put a lot of time, effort and thought into the most minor details - why shouldn't you do the same for the person leading your ceremony? Please - I beg of you - don't hire that old guy who talks for hours!! Just Kidding!
I believe that weddings should be filled with happy tears - laughter and most of all memorable moments! When the officiant takes time to learn about how you and your partner met, your shared love of animals/hobbies/ect or even - a story that will get the guests laughing - and infuses that into your ceremony - that's memorable. You want your guests walking away with a memory that will last a lifetime. I do this because I enjoy it!
I'm a single momma, with 2 tween girls, and a dog. I live in the country, was raised on a farm, and will swap fishing or hunting stories all day long, and LOVE to laugh. What do I believe in? I do indeed believe in God. Once upon a time I did not, I very much disliked him...thought he was out to get me. Blah blah blah - but I have recently come back to my own faith [insert a very interesting story] and as wonderful as that has been to me - I will not push that on anyone - because that's one of the very reasons I walked away - everyone had an opinion and their opinion was the only opinion and it was the right opinion. Baloney!!!!
Some of the most judgemental people I have met go to church - some of the most kind-hearted - give the shirt off their back genuine folks are covered in tattoos and cuss a little. But that's just my experience. I have opinions, but I save judgement for the man upstairs - that's his job.
We are all children of the same universe - it's what you do, while you are here, that matters.
Even though 2020 was quite the year for some - I was honored to be named the Central Iowa Wedding Choice Awards Silver Award winner! Coming in second lets me know that my clients truly enjoy the service that I provide! I am truly honored to celebrate YOU!
