At 5PM on November 2, Catherine and David were joined in marriage in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the golf course of the Aliso Viejo Country Club. The rain (hours earlier) made for magestic skies over the valley. When we met in my home for planning the ceremony and getting acquainted, they remarked that they sure were glad that Great Officiants facilitated my service to them. After the ceremony Sunday, they said that they tripled that feeling. I'm so pleased to help couples pull off the best wedding they or any guests have ever attended.
At 3PM on November 3, Rosanna and Oscar became husband and wife, blending five children into one loving family. The sand ceremony of Seven Vases into One was exciting and beautiful. The "Dia de los Muertos" table with flowers and photos of deceased loved ones was a great way to honor tradition, family and loving regard. To the DJ's surprise, I did not use a mic — keeping the beautiful natural atmosphere of the Hotel Maya courtyard, yet my voice reached all the guests. While softer, the vows spoken by the couple were heard as well. We met at my home to plan the ceremony and get acquainted, and after the wedding they said that although they were thrilled by what we crafted together, the actual event superseded their expectations. Feels good to help a family become lovingly and wonderfully united before God, family and friends
