Here’s an oldie but a goodie for you, and honestly, one of my favorite early weddings!!
When I first spoke with Amanda, she told me she was having a hard time finding a Los Angeles offbeat officiant for her and Matt’s Star Wars themed wedding. They wanted something that was truly non-denominational for a ceremony that could both satisfy her traditional family as well as her own nerdy sensibilities.
After Amanda, Matt, and I met, it was clear we spoke each other’s language. And while they are Imperial and I’m Rebel, they decided that I was definitely their Los Angeles offbeat officiant.
As we talked about what was important to them, we really focused on their relationship, which started with a shared love of all things nerdy and cosplay at Comic Con. The fact that they could be themselves together was so important. I wanted to make sure I celebrated that in the words of their ceremony, lending something that was personal and fun to reflect their personalities and life together.
They wanted a ceremony that would honor their absolute love of Star Wars. And I mean, doesn’t the ceremony site kind of look like Naboo?
I’m telling you, these guys are Imperial all the way. (It was fun to switch sides for a minute!)
Well, I’ll let Amanda share what her experience was…
I had such a hard time trying to find an officiant for my non-denominational wedding ceremony. I really wanted someone who would make our ceremony fun and unique. As soon as I read that Minister Marie was a bit on the Geeky side like us I knew she would be perfect, and she was! We had a Star Wars theme and as soon as I told her, she was all for it! She gave us some great suggestions and advice and she was so easy and pleasant to work with. She surprised us with a completely personalized introduction about how my husband and I met and it was beautiful and amazing! All my guests told me how amazing the ceremony was and how great our minister was and I couldn’t agree with them more! If you want a personal, fun and unique wedding, Minister Marie is the officiant you want!
As you can see, I had no fun with them and their wedding lightsabers.
Absolutely no fun at all. That’s why there’s a video, evidence of the lack of fun. 😉
