What an exciting year it was to have performed wedding ceremonies throughout the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. 2021, was the busiest wedding year of my career. Every single weekend I performed wedding ceremonies far and wide. I performed wedding ceremonies in 100 degree weather, during rain & wind storms, and even traveled long distances to marry couples. I married multiple couples with 200-300 guests in attendance. It quickly became the norm for me to be marrying couples in Oklahoma City’s top wedding venues and being fully booked in 2021.

The highlight of this year for me as a wedding officiant, was being named the number two wedding officiant in Oklahoma City via Wedding Rule. Not only that but I am the only bilingual wedding officiant performing wedding ceremonies at this professional level.

I thoroughly enjoy every minute and opportunity to be able to perform wedding ceremonies. As a bilingual wedding officiant, I am always in demand, and I am also known for my professional services that I offer. I don’t take for granted couples trusting me with such an important event in their lives that will be remembered for generations to come. If anything, it is truly an honor to be given the opportunity to be part of such a special occasion.

In 2022, it will be my thirteenth year of performing wedding ceremonies in Oklahoma City, OK. I currently have limited availability in 2022 and currently booking into 2023.

As always, I am grateful for word-of-mouth referrals and for trusting me to be your wedding officiant for your special day.

May you have an amazing year ahead, wishing everyone love, light, and happiness. I look forward to performing your wedding ceremony in 2022!
 
With gratitude,

Ivan and Guadalupe of Oklahoma City, OK had an intimate Spanish wedding ceremony.

The couple have been together for a little over five years and finally decided to tie the knot. The young couple exchanged their own vows in their own unique way. One could definitely feel the love in the air! Young love is the most affectionate of them all especially in the face of uncertainty.

After the wedding ceremony, a cousin of the groom enjoyed the wedding ceremony so much that she went ahead and booked her upcoming wedding ceremony with me for next year!

I thoroughly enjoy performing wedding ceremonies and I am also grateful for the opportunity to perform wedding ceremonies for those seeking my services.

Review from the bride: "Thank you for making the process of us getting married go so smoothly. We enjoyed our wedding ceremony so much! We can't wait for you to marry more of our family and friends in the near future. Thank you again!"

Kodiak and Tessa of Stillwater, OK married at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Downtown Oklahoma City, OK.

It was a wild windy day in Oklahoma City! However, that did not stop the couple from saying their "I do's" in 60 mph winds. The ceremony was challenging from beginning to end. The wind was so harsh and cold that it was intolerable at times but the bride and groom made the best of the situation. They said their own vows to one another in the most uncomfortable way possible and their public display to the world was one for the movies. 

If this is not a testimony of true love, I don't know what is!

Review from the bride: “Thank you so much for being with us every step of the way! You made our wedding ceremony exactly as we wanted it despite the weather! Thanks again, we appreciate you!"

​Ivan and Paula had an elegant wedding ceremony at Coles Garden. The couple outdid themselves by being meticulous with every detail of their wedding. 

​The bride and groom had over 200 guests attend their wedding ceremony and all were in awe with the beautiful setting.

Ivan and Paula requested a bilingual wedding ceremony and for it to include their own vows. It was a very moving moment when the couple spoke their love to one another. To say the least, there was not a dry eye in sight! 

Ivan and Paula’s love is definitely couples goals!

Review from the bride and groom: “We heard so much about you and are so happy we chose you as our wedding officiant. Thank you for everything.”

Omar and Tania of Oklahoma City, OK had a lovely backyard wedding in Southwest Oklahoma City, OK.

Omar and Tania have been together for nine years and finally decided to tie the knot on the date of their anniversary.

Omar and Tania said the loveliest words to one another that caused their guests to shed tears of joy.

The couple were full of laughter and tears that made their ceremony one of a kind!

Johnathan and Cinthia of Oklahoma City, OK married at Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City, OK.

Cinthia is originally from Bolivia and met Johnathan online. The two eventually met offline and Cinthia relocated to Oklahoma City, OK to be with the love of her life.

The couple chose Hefner Lake because that’s where they had their first date and that’s also where Johnathan proposed.

Jose and Mireya of Spencer, OK married at a private event center in North Oklahoma City, OK.

​Mireya is originally from Guadalajara, MX and Jose is from Honduras. The couple met 10 years ago while working at a restaurant. The couple decided to get married on the day of their anniversary of when they first met. The couple wanted a Spanish ceremony that focused on their love for one another and I was able to create a special ceremony just for them.

Family and friends from Honduras and Mexico were able to join them on their special day. To an added bonus, the reception was an absolute feast! Flavorful cuisines of Honduras and Mexico united both families into one. 

It was such a joyous occasion for the newlyweds! This event of their lifetimes will definitely be unforgettable.

Michael and Yetta of Choctaw, Oklahoma married at the Will Rogers Gardens.

It started off as a rainy day in OKC but the rain miraculously stopped once it was time for Michael and Yetta to unite in holy matrimony. The couple chose to get married on their anniversary. I created a custom wedding ceremony script where Yetta could say something special once their vows were said to one another. Michael had no idea that Yetta had some special words just for him and it made the ceremony extra special. Michael was taken back as Yetta expressed her true feelings. It was a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony where two souls united at Will Rogers Gardens!

Review from bride: "Thank you so much for being our wedding officiant and for creating our ceremony script! This is exactly what we wanted and we are so happy with the outcome. Thanks again for everything!"

Jimmy and Soledad of Bethany, Oklahoma married at their lovely home.

The young couple requested a Spanish wedding ceremony where they could say their own vows. There was a strong pause during the ceremony because tears of joy were streaming down their faces while reciting their own special words to each other. Family and friends, gathered around and applause after applause was expressed for the joining of two families. Everyone cheered and applauded the newlyweds once they were pronounced husband and wife!

Amit and Chetna of Norman, Oklahoma had a lovely wedding ceremony at their home. Amit and Chetna are originally from India and had a long distance relationship for over two years before deciding to get married. The couple chose to get married on the date that they met and wanted a custom ceremony that included  Hindu wedding traditions. 

The couple had family and friends travel from Chicago, IL, India, and even Cuba to witness their nuptials.  It was quite the diverse group of guests, with a multi-culture vibe and various different languages being spoken all at once. The energy was all love and support for Amit and Chetna. It was a beautiful site to see and a one of a kind experience!

Later on in July, the couple will be having a big traditional Hindu wedding and I am cordially invited to attend the event! I am looking forward to attending Amit and Chetna's upcoming Hindu wedding!

Review from the groom: "Thank you for being our wedding officiant! We are so thankful that we found you and made our wedding ceremony possible. We look forward to having you as a guest at our upcoming wedding ceremony!"
