Ever After with Deanna

05/31/2026

Today marks my 1-year anniversary of being ordained! ❤️

What a perfect way to celebrate—by having the honor of marrying a beautiful couple today during an intimate celebration.

The family wouldn't let me leave right away, and honestly, I didn't mind one bit. I enjoyed helping wherever I could, sharing great conversations, and making sure the other amazing vendors received recognition for all their hard work as well.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. Being trusted to stand beside couples on one of the most important days of their lives is truly a blessing. I am incredibly grateful for every couple, every family, and every love story I get to be a part of.

Love at its finest. ❤️

Cheers to the newlyweds, John and Elsa! May your journey together be filled with laughter, adventure, and endless love.

I can't wait to share photos from this beautiful day! ✨

❤️🥂💍

Had another wedding today at the Iconic San Francisco City Hall. Pictures to follow.

On March 21st, I had the privilege of marrying another beautiful couple. They exchanged their vows in a charming courtyard at the Lucie Stern Community Center in Palo Alto, surrounded by so much love.

The turnout was incredible, with family and friends coming together to witness their union. For those who couldn’t be there in person, they thoughtfully included them by setting up Zoom so everyone could still be part of their special day.

Moments like these are why I love what I do—love truly is in the air. I can’t wait to share photos in the coming weeks 💕

On February 13, I had the pleasure of officiating a beautiful ceremony for a very special couple. From that day forward, they will proudly be known as Mr. & Mrs. Yovanovich. 💍

Being able to stand with couples as they begin this new chapter together is something I will never take for granted. Wishing them a lifetime filled with love and happiness.

There are so many parts to officiating a wedding, but after the ceremony itself, my absolute favorite is creating the vows. Every couple fills out an intake form, which gives me insight into how they envision their special day and their love story.

If I’m lucky, I can hit it out of the park on the first try! But if I need a little more clarity, we’ll set up a call or Zoom meeting, and I get to hear more about them—their story, their dreams, and the little details that make their relationship unique.

Meeting the couples brings me so much joy, even before the wedding day. Sometimes I only get to see them once, so it’s such a gift to connect and get a true sense of who gets their Happily Ever After.

On January 14, 2026, at the beautiful San Francisco City Hall, I had the pleasure of marrying Eda and Trevor. It was an intimate ceremony with just a handful of family members present, which made the moment feel even more special.

They are such a sweet couple. I truly love hearing each couple’s story—how they met, how life brought them back together, and the journey that led them to this moment. With Eda and Trevor, it was one of those stories that reminds you that when you know, you just know.

While they plan to celebrate with a larger gathering in the Sacramento area in the future, they wanted to make their love official as soon as they could. I feel incredibly honored to have been part of such a meaningful day. 💍❤️

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Zavala, who were married on February 22nd in Manteca. It may have been a little chilly outside, but the love surrounding them kept everyone warm.

They were surrounded by so many family members and friends who came to celebrate their special day. You could see the beautiful details and the love that was poured into every part of the celebration.

Moments like these always bring me so much joy as a wedding officiant. Seeing the love between two people as they promise forever is something truly special. Sometimes love stories are simply written in the stars—and by all odds, these two were meant to meet and fall in love.

Wishing the Zavala’s a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories. 💍✨

Brides on a budget

If you’re planning a wedding on a tight budget but still want that beautiful, elevated look — don’t sleep on Facebook resale groups!
So many brides sell their gently used décor, signs, centerpieces, and extras for a fraction of what they paid.

You can score amazing deals and make your day look stunning without overspending.

And here’s the best part — after your big day, you can resell your items and put some of that money right back in your pocket.

Smart brides budget wisely 💍✨
