Photos from two sweet couples I recently officiated for. Christmas is an even more special time when love is expressed in a pledge of faith in your partner.

Hello followers and friends! First, I want to let you know that I am still going to be officiating ceremonies. That said, I am definitely cutting back on the number of those I take on, as I have now began substitute teaching in my retirement. I want to be sure to offer myself fully to any couples I take on as clients, so the number of couples has to be more selective. I will no longer have a website presence, however as it just doesn’t make sense to spend it for so few couples, when I can keep costs down. I am always so honored and grateful when chosen for such a wonderful part of a couple’s story. Thank you to all who have chosen With This Ring, and those who supported me by referrals. I have enjoyed (and still do!) the thousand couples and almost 18 years of this experience. Please continue to recommend me to your friends and family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I didn’t get any pictures, however I wanted to congratulate yesterday’s couple, Ashley & Richard, who were married in their backyard. They were joined by a very intimate group of family members who shared their love and support!

I forgot to mention that while my website is in transition to a new provider, it is currently not available for links to make your payments, or for my contact form. You can make payment to the Venmo account shown here, have cash, or for PayPal my profile is . If you’re mailing check or money order, please contact me for the address and be sure it arrives two weeks prior to the ceremony. You can email all inquiries to [email protected] and thank you for your patience during this process!

With gratitude,
Carleen

Past wedding clients: my website is moving to a new provider and I’m going to be doing some updating the next few months. Would love some new pictures if you’re willing to share one from your wedding! Thanks in advance! Please DM
