It’s official! Well almost… 🤷‍♀️ After every “I do”, comes the paperwork. In order for things to be truly official, the marriage license needs to be recorded with the county recorders office.

My services don’t end on the wedding day. They end on the day a couple receives confirmation of their recorded marriage license either by phone or by receiving a copy of their marriage certificate in the mail.

While it may save some money and be trendy to hire friends and family to officiate marriage ceremonies, chances are if a mistake is made, they’re not going to know what to do to correct it. That was me after officiating my first marriage and that is why I provide every couple I marry this guarantee.

The last thing you want to worry about after your wedding day, is your marriage license not recording. Let me worry about the paperwork while you enjoy your honeymoon. I got the paperwork covered from the “I do” to the “it’s official”! Every step of the way.

Another happy couple. Kathy & Jim married 49 years ago, divorced for many years and 49 years later in the same day they married once before, they said “I do” again for the last time! What a beautiful reminder that sometimes a couple needs time to grow individually before they can grow again together, side by side.

This is one of the many reasons why I love officiating weddings. Who’s next?

It's not about someone stealing our heart. It's about restoring its aliveness.
It's about filling it with light. When real love enters, it doesn't take anything from us.
It gifts us with the everything.

✨ Introducing Forever & For Always ✨

Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m so excited to share this new space dedicated to my work as a wedding officiant.

I have been officiating weddings throughout Southern California for over 13 years now and also offer services for destination weddings, with services starting at $175, based on the level of service & personalization each couple desires.

As an interfaith minister, I create heartfelt ceremonies that honor your unique love story and personal beliefs. Whether you’re seeking:
💍 A blended faith ceremony
💍 A civil ceremony for non-religious couples
💍 A traditional or spiritual service

I work with you to make it meaningful, memorable, and true to you and your beliefs.

Beyond weddings, I also officiate life celebrations for departed loved ones and other sacred ceremonies such as right of life passages, self marriages and conscious uncoupling’s.

And if I’m unavailable on your ceremony date, I collaborate with and book out other trusted Southern California officiants to ensure you’re in good hands.

💌 DM me for booking inquiries or to learn more.
💌 Please share this post with anyone you know who is searching for the right officiant for their wedding or Minister for an upcoming life celebration.

You can also find me on Facebook at Forever and For Always.

With love,
Shannon
Forever & For Always

To bring others closer,
learn to love the space
that exists between you
as much as you love
being in their presence,
as it is the spaces that exist
between notes of music
that make the music beautiful.
