This was my face (well, our faces) last night when we got the text that we had won the Gold Award in the officiant category
I felt so many things! First, surprised! Not because I don't think I'm a highly qualified (and quite funny) officiant, but because I didn't grow up participating in many activities that gave awards, so it's not something in my immediate thought pattern.
Second, beyond grateful. I couldn't marry people if they didn't trust me with one of the most important parts of their ceremony. The job literally wouldn't exist without all of the people who I married over the last 3 years, and the award wouldn't have been awarded if last years' couples hadn't have enjoyed it 😆
Thirdly, a little sad that we couldn't attend the award show, but we were doing the thing yesterday! I married Brittany and Sergio and Chris played piano for their ceremony, and sprinkled his live sets throughout his DJing for the rest of the night. It was actually pretty poignant to be doing the very thing that we were being celebrated for.
Thank you, past wedding clients. Thank you, fellow wedding vendors - it's fun working with your friends. Thank you, future wedding clients! We truly do love you all ❤️
