Wedding Officiant - Lake Tahoe

02/27/2025

Hello, wedding friends. I am thinking about providing a new service where I meet with couples and help them write their personal vows. It’s part of the ceremony that brings a lot of stress to couples. Is this a service you would like to see??

Hello, dear ones. I hope you all are surrounded with an abundance of love. I cherish the memories of each wedding. ❤️

I want to share some news. My beloved and wonderful husband and partner in crime for 33 years has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is upbeat and using all avenues of Western, Eastern and Functional medicine to attack it. We are getting good care in Portugal. If you have a few moments now and then, I ask for your healing vibes/prayers for his recovery and for the cancer to be gone.

We have enjoyed our 15 months here and found a place that matches our hearts and our values. It’s beautiful, less complicated in some ways, and offers pure healthy foods. It’s a great place to be. The people have been amazing — especially now.

Love to all of you and Boas Festas! (Happy holidays)

Here's a fun wedding idea during COVID times. What do you think?

As Covid-19 forces families across India to downsize or cancel their traditionally large-scale weddings, one couple has found a venue unaffected by restrictions: the metaverse.

To say that I am missing my couples and weddings in Tahoe would be a huge understatement. I so loved meeting each one of you and learning where you connect as a couple. I will hold that always in my heart. ❤️

In August, we moved to Portugal which allowed my handsome hubby to retire. (We always say that I was doing my passion job having left my marketing career.) So, I don’t feel it was retiring for me.

We are settled here now and assimilating into Portuguese culture. The country is beautiful and the coastline gorgeous. The people are kind and helpful.

With so many emotions, I want to share with you that I will be leaving Tahoe and retiring my officiating business at the end of July.

GRATITUDE is the primary emotion — gratitude to each of you who chose me to officiate. I met so many loving and beautiful couples who shared your love and your lives with me — and I thank you. Each of you showed me that no matter what your story was or where you came from or any other factor, there was a wonderful love at the center of it.

And, gratitude to all of my colleagues in this biz who let me be me (and honored that) and gave your hearts to making each wedding special.

LOVE for Lake Tahoe and the beauty she brought to each wedding—and for the numerous times when something magical happened.

SADNESS to step away from the work I love so much.

EXCITEMENT to travel the world with my #1 supporter. The man whose been by my side and encouraged my dreams for 32 years. My husband, my partner, and my unconditional love, (Dallas). Thank you for helping me live my dream — now, let’s go live yours.

Christmas Eve private Zoom concert with was so fun. I didn’t realize we could hire her for Livestream concerts until I stumbled on it listed on her website. It brought together our family and friends from all parts of our lives to kick off the holiday cheer. Such fun and beautiful Christmas songs! Thanks, Anne!

2020 may have been a different year but the love each couple shared and the intimate and loving ceremonies I was invited to officiate made my heart full. These weren’t “COVID weddings,” they were true and beautiful and loving and amazing! Thank you to all of my beautiful couples who made all of this special happen. And, thank you for voting me in as Best of the Knot. ❤️
