Wedding Aisle Madness - The Foolishness of Getting Certain Wedding Tips From Wedding Magazines By Dr. Linda

Whats Wrong With This Picture? 

Open Letter To Wedding Magazines 

By Celebrity Wedding Officiator

Dr. Linda

Wedding Magazine editors or associated decision makers should ask, "In the Trench" professionals, to write their “Tips and Trends” articles for them! Shouldn’t the wedding professionals invent the trends based upon their practical and expert experiences? I have said that for years! Even volunteering to write about "All Things Ceremony" for groups like The Knot! In the end, when a bride attempts to utilize a “Wedding Trend Tip” from a non-expert Wedding Magazine writer, the professionals, those actually working with the couples, are inconvenienced!  See below…..? This is one of many examples as to why wedding magazine conglomerates need our help! Their writers don't appear to have officiated a wedding ceremony ever! What do they know?

Brides Read This, Then Look at The Knot Image!

Quote from Knot Website 

"Did you know that rugs made of knotted yarn (called “rya”) are an important part of a traditional Finnish wedding ceremony? The couple would say their wedding prayers while kneeling on the colorful rug and then they later display it in their home. Today, the hot trend is to take rugs from your favorite design store or flea market and turn them into your ceremony aisle (tip: check with friends and family to see if they have any that might look pretty too!). If you do end up buying them, the best part is you can totally reuse the rugs in your home later and they make for easy set-up and clean up. It’s really a win-win. See the photos of couples who used rugs as aisle runners below! Rustic Woven Rugs on the Beach"

Look at this image! My officiator team laughed out loud! So, did I....! Bridesmaids, groomsmen, bride, groom, and me standing on this, as positioned on the beach sand! Do I have to paint a picture of the safety issues alone, or my experience with such dangerously unsecured wedding ceremony decorations! Don't get me started on the importance of safety in the ceremony environment. With all due respect.....to all of the Wedding Magazine conglomerates…… Please ask my officiators or  ceremony writing team to write your tips, trends and wedding story segments! They have actually presided wedding ceremonies!

Wedding Ceremony Mythology: Some Things Just Need To Stay As They Are! By Celebrity Wedding Officiator Dr. Linda

At the wedding ceremony rehearsal, the maid-of-honour says, “Hey, I think that it would be really cool for the wedding officiator to stand with their back to the wedding guests! Don’t you!”  At first, this suggestion seems to defy convention, and provide an interesting option to the marrying couple.  Even gives the illusion of diminishing the perceived traditional dominance of the officiator in a standard pose and positioning. Without thinking it through, the bride and groom agree, and arrange accordingly. This is great, bride and groom will really stand out, the wedding guests will see them better……! So, what’s wrong with this?

Reason # 1 – This Wedding Officiator Says, “STOP!” – The Foreground Is Called The Foreground For A Reason!

Who is in the foreground will more naturally stand out in the pictures. This is also true for the live audience. Especially, when, the wedding officiator is on the same level as the guests. And, if there is not much difference in the elevation between the officiant’s position and the marrying couple.  See this publicly posted picture of such a configuration.

Do You Think Reason # 1 Is Valid?

Do Wedding Coordinators or Others Outside The Nixon Library and Birth Place Recommend Your Marriage License Issuance Services?

Yes, in fact, we have dozens and dozens of references. Just ask! More importantly, the County Clerk's Office of Orange County! Call for information on who to contact at the Clerk's Office for recommendation!

The Dangers of Being A Wedding Officiator In Southern California!

January 7th 2010 - Being a "real" wedding officiator is dangerous - Standing on the very edge of cliffs! Being engulfed by rising tides! Taking the wedding rings from the mouth of a police dog! Breaking the fall of a 6 foot groom as he collides into your slight wedding officiator body! In any event the wedding ceremony must go on, no matter what! The Clergy Network has a lot of stories to tell about 21 years of the amazing, the crazy, the sweet and the terrible. So, over the next year, we shall share some of our stories with you, the old and the new for 2011.

The Clergy Network is the only "real" background checked, professional and degreed wedding officiator membership in Southern California. Most wedding officiators are "fakes" in Southern California, getting their authority to preside a marriage ceremony over the Internet, with no training or background check or experience or peer review. Especially, the last few years, this phenomena is spreading like wildfire! Select The Clergy Network wedding officiator for your custom written wedding ceremony, wedding day marriage license issuance, wedding officiator "backup" protection, bride name change software and more!

Malibu West Beach Club - Xfiles,Nickelodeon & Unity Candles- Southern California Wedding Officiators

Malibu West Beach Club - Los Angeles County - Southern California Wedding Officiators-

Movie Set Wedding - What happens when a TCN wedding officiator presides over a marriage ceremony for a groom that worked on XFILES and a bride who worked for NICKLEODEAN? .... Unity Wedding Candles that don't blow out, even in 20-30 mile an hour Malibu Beach winds! This is the benefit of having the XFILES crew wedding guests to fix Unity Candles so as to not blow out!

This is the recollection of A TCN wedding officiator, some years ago now. On Sunday, TCN presided at Malibu West Beach Club. The custom ceremony included a reading by the groom's brother, and other custom wording. There was also a reunion between The TCN wedding officiator and a previous client.

Wedding Ceremony Coordination At Malibu West Beach Club - Our TCN Wedding Officiator wrote and organized the wedding ceremony prior to the wedding day. On the day, the officiant did a sound check, worked with the keyboardist cousins of the groom to coordinate the Processional and Recessional, assisted the on-sight event coordinators, lined up the wedding party, executed the sending in of the bridal attendants, groom, groomsmen and bride.... plus so much more.

Happy Ending - The wedding ceremony was lovely, with many compliments from the wedding guests. The Bride's and Groom's wedding ceremony vows were specially written, and kept a surprise. (The bride did not know what the groom was to read, and the groom did not know what the bride was to read). Congratulations to our happy couple. Thank you, Malibu West Beach Club for your hospitality!
