FunWed's Blog

This was from a couple I married at the shorebreak hotel in Huntington Beach. Here is a the link to the blog on them  http://www.socalofficiant.com/blog/2012/01/12/beautiful-pictures-of-a-beautiful-day/  and here are their comments…….

Alan married us in January and all I can say is Wow!  He surely made it special and fun for us.  The attention to detail and the quick wit of Alan are what we most appreciated.  He made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the first meeting we had with him, the rehearsal and the main event.  We wanted a ceremony which was fun and involved with everyone there.  Alan made sure to include everyone…I even thought I was missing something as he did a crowd warm up while I was waiting in the wings.  He even included a random guy sitting on a balcony (what fun).  There are photos further down in the blog (Anna and Mark) which show how fun things were.  Alan definitely goes down as the best…everyone we spoke with asked us who Alan was and how we found such a wonderful person to perform our ceremony. 

Thank you Alan from my Wife and I – Anna and Mark

Carolyn Leal of So Cal Officiants married us in mid January in Long Beach. We loved working with her … she’s smart and fun and funny, but makes sure her brilliance never overshadows the bride or groom. Carolyn took the time to understand us, and what’s important to us and that totally showed up in our ceremony. She met with us twice to get the ceremony right where we wanted it (Christian and Jewish with some extras:). She handled our rehearsal very skillfully, and became part of our extended family from that point on. Most importantly, she married us with heart and soul … left our family and friends marveling at how real, and fun, and loving our ceremony was that night. Carolyn and So Cal Officiants also handled our licensing, and we’re grateful for the great service and real care all around. Thank you!

I love doing Elvis Wedding Ceremonies.

When Markku and Meghan came in and asked me to do one…I was jazzed.

I sang several songs and did some fun vows with them.

They Loved it. I loved it, their friends loved it.

Afterwards they went over to pine avenue for dinner at one of the great places to eat there.

Here is the link to watch it. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/20011449

The first thing you notice when you meet David and Kristin is their TATTOOS. He has them everywhere and she has several. They were the coolest couple and very much in love.

I compared their love to a tattoo that will get brighter as the years go on.

I issued their license and did a short and fun ceremony for them before they boarded their limo and were whisked away for a romantic meal together.

Alicia and Patrick chose a beautiful venue, Etiwanda Gardens in San Bernardino County, for their ceremony. 

From their Award Winning Architecture to their signature koi pond, the Etiwanda Gardens was designed to encompass all aspects of your special day. Beginning your celebration in their beautiful glass enclosed chapel and ending it in one of their fantastic ballrooms, nothing will be left to chance as you take the first steps into your new life.they will help you create the memories that you ‘ll share for the rest of your lives.

Built in the 1960′s using rare California cedar, the chapel has long been recognized as a place of peace and beauty. With its glass walls overlooking lush gardens, it’s the perfect setting for your special day.

The day was captured and photographed by Fred Moayed with Creative Vision Photography.

The Couple sent Ralph this nice note.

Thank you so much!!! We got a lot of comments about you and how passionate you seemed about the ceremony. You will always come to mind when I know of someone who needs an officiant. You were everything we wanted and could not have been happier. Thank you and it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thank you!

A perfect day in Dana Point for Brent and Christina! They met on Friday the 13 and got married on a Friday the 13. A lucky day for them indeed!!! This ceremony was performed by Rev Tim, our Christian Officiant.

On Saturday the 14th At Castaways in Burbank, Brian and Julia has a very cool ceremony. They utilized a kneeler that has been passed down and used with many weddings in the family. They also signed a  Katuba as they were a mixed Cathoic and Jewish copule.

Heather and Michael had a cool little ceremony for 30 guests in their backyard. The bride wore a a full length Komono and he wore an awesome Asian looking jacket. They were so in love they cried the whole ceremony.
