✨ Looking to elope before the end of the year?
I’m now offering Quick Elopements and Micro Weddings at The Bee & Beyond — intimate, meaningful ceremonies in a warm, beautiful space.

Every ceremony I officiate helps support our son Benjamin’s ongoing medical trips to Mayo Clinic — so your wedding not only celebrates your love, but also blesses our family in the process. 💛

If you’d like to tie the knot this month — or plan a cozy micro wedding — I would be honored to be part of your day.

What are peeps saying about Chaplain Shawnna Schmidt - Author, Align With Love book ?? -> Be, A Story of Origin?

What peeps are saying about BE, A STORY OF ORIGIN...

Dear Chaplain Shawnna, BE: A Story of One Sky, One Beginning doesn’t just tell a creation story, it sings it, paints it, and somehow whispers it straight into your soul. 🌌 The way you weave faith, family, and ancient wisdom feels less like reading a book and more like sitting around a celestial campfire while God hums background music. The photographs alone could baptize an atheist in wonder, and that line about “One Sky, One Origin”? My brain stood up and clapped.

You’ve basically written a children’s book that adults secretly need more than the kids do (I said what I said 😤). It’s the kind of story that makes you want to hug your neighbor, plant a tree, and call your mom, all before breakfast. You remind readers that the Creator didn’t make us compete but to be.

✨ Wow, what a weekend ✨
It was a working weekend full of Weddings at The Bee 🐝 & Beyond… including officiating a beautiful ceremony on a boat. 💍🚤

After what feels like forever (seriously, before Spring 2024!) Hubbie and I even managed a real date — just the two of us. 💕

Mixed in? A medical emergency (praise God, our loved one is A-OK 🙌) and then… our house well went out. 😅 Hubbie, PTL, had it fixed once we got home.
