| Those were the words that were painted on a sign that once hung outside my Grandfather's one room court-house in Sutherland Springs, Texas for well over half a century. Of course, it once read "Two CAN live as cheap as one" back in the 1930's and 40's, but grandpa had to change it in the 1960's as the world changed. Now I don't know which phrase would apply. You be the judge. Anyway, during my vacations, when I stayed on my grandparent's farm, many a time I was dragged out of bed to witness a couple getting married at 3 o'clock in the morning. It seems my grandpa's place had a reputation as being the place to stop in the San Antonio area when you eloped...or maybe it was just that he was the only Justice of the Peace anywhere between San Antonio and Houston with a courthouse right on the highway (A little one room shack actually). Well, I guess the memory of all those wedding ceremonies got to me and I've set myself up in the marrying business. Yep, I'll drive on over and legally marry you and your soon to be spouse. In a civil, secular (non-religious) or non-secular (non-denominational, religious) ceremony. If you have a license, picture identification and two witnesses on hand (or, if you want, I can issue a marriage license on the spot anywhere in Los Angeles County).. And I'll be happy to help you as much as I can, although remember, I'm not a wedding planner. (However, a lot of your questions might be answered on this website). It's your wedding and I'll do my part, as best I can, to make it what you dreamed it would be. From a simple, basic ceremony to a large wedding with a custom written, beautiful and touching set of vows. I aim to please. So, check out this website for information on the "how to" of getting married and if you get to the point of needing me to officiate.....please e-mail me. (And don't forget to leave your contact number so we can chat...with no obligation). |

| Did you know the name of the two traditional bridal marches? Well, the bride walks down the aisle to the classical "Bridal Chorus" from Richard Wagner's 1848 opera "Lohengrin" and the Bride and Groom exit to the music of the "Wedding March" from Felix Mendelsohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" |

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDINGS FORMAL WEDDINGS - ELOPEMENT CEREMONIES |
What is a "Wedding Officiant"? Well, simply put, an officiant is the person who conducts the ceremony and pronounces the couple "husband and wife". The officiant is not a wedding planner, but does help you plan the content of the actual ceremony...vows, whether there will be a ring ceremony, rose or candle ceremony and whatever else you want your ceremony to contain. As an officiant, I'll provide a ceremony shaped to your desires, make sure your license and witnesses are in order and will file your papers with the county clerk afterwards. E-MAIL me for more information or... let's talk on the phone. |
| Did you know the first known white wedding dress (in the western world) was worn by Anne of Brittany in 1499. Later in the mid 19th century, Queen Victoria helped make the custom even more popular |
| Years ago, in trying to explain to my young son what the duties of a parent are, one of the things I said was "to create good memories for when you're older". Well, that's exactly what I feel I'm doing by being a wedding officiant. I hope to help in building good memories for the couples I marry. And though I want this website to be professional looking and extensive, I'm really just one person doing something I believe to be important. This is not a company, an organization, a group of people or Church. Just me. And if you choose me to officiate your wedding, I promise you'll get my personal, caring attention to make sure you'll have a wonderful memory for the future. |
Just for fun I've gathered an extensive list of customs, folklore, legends and history relating to love and marriage. Click on the link below and enjoy exploring the beautiful, sometimes nutty past of wedding traditions. |

| The television crew on the right taped the ceremony I officiated for a very special couple several years ago.The segment aired on the NBC program "Life Moments" |
 |
 |
| One of the great things about being an officiant are the interesting places I get to perform ceremonies. Like the one I did at 20th Century Fox Studios in the "Shirley Temple Room" for a very special couple...and in front of all the writers and creative staff of "The Simpsons". And no, donuts were not served at the reception. |
