And the 2026 Wedding Season is underway! I hit all the right notes, got laughs, some applause, some tears (always the indicator I’m doing my job right) and then pronounced them as husband & wife. Best job ever. #TheWeddingOfficiant #IDo

The bride is wearing a long flowing dress and the groom is wearing black pants, a black fest and a white shirt. They are standing on grass and you can see a Wedding Arbour in the distance behind them.

It’s 3 up, 3 down, and that’s the end of the inning. My work here is done. Don’t ask me how I pulled this one out in between the fast & the furious weather events of Georgian Bay, but I aimed for the fences & took it all the way downtown. Today I rocked it.
Best damn job ever. #TheWeddingOfficiant

A woman is modeling, a black dress in a very 60s style with circular appliqué attached to the dress. She has gray hair and is wearing glasses and is in her bare feet.

One of the things that I have loved so much about officiating weddings is getting to dress up! My 2025 wedding season has dropped into high gear & I’ve decided it was time to channel my inner LBD 60’s vibe and I’m loving this look! #TheWeddingOfficiant #WeddingLife

Call an Officiant.
Thats what we do. Married your way,

“Christine we want to elope at our special place. Can you do this for us?”

Me: Hell yes!!! Now where’s my PFD? :)

I’m just the Officiant, I have absolutely nothing to do with the filming. This was an elopement & the footage was shot by a friend. And lastly why don’t you just take in the beauty of Georgian Bay & hope the best for this sweet couple. You have a lovely day, the day you deserve. #TheWeddingOfficiant

Thank you! Isn’t that something. It’s out on Georgian Bay on Gin Rocks. There’s no place like the bay. #TheWeddingOfficiant

From the farms of Simcoe, in the town of Tiny. Yes, there actually is a town called Tiny. Happy Tuesday morning. BTW, I married a couple under this tree in September. I am #TheWeddingOfficiant and it is the best job ever.

It’s so lovely when couples share a random photo from their wedding ceremony. Often Officiants don’t get to see photos b/cse they don’t show up months post wedding. Received this today! Office views! On beautiful Christian Island on Georgian Bay. Yes, that is a cast on my arm. #TheWeddingOfficiant

Officiating weddings has always been such a privilege. Standing with a couple as they enter into marriage is a real present.
So much trust.
A few more glimpses from past few weeks as I wind down 2024 and I turn the page…

Marrying couples over the last
7 yrs has been, without question, the most fun gig I’ve ever had. What a blast, a whack of memories & so much gratitude.
It’s time, though, for me to begin turning the lights off on this part of my adventure.
Best job ever.

What an absolutely spectacular weekend up here on Georgian Bay as I squeeze out the last of the October weddings. And I just love it when a Bride’s momma tells me that I made her cry. If you have a chance to take in the fall colours do it!
Best job ever.
#TheWeddingOfficiant

Them: Can you marry us in our special place, please?”
Me: Let me get my kit on.
So on a sunny Fri aft, on the waters of Kettle Lake, in magnificent Awenda Park, they said “They do!”
Mother Nature so kindly provided the decor.
