An Inside Peek
How the ceremony was prepared by Mark
Met them in person, got to know them. Tried to work in their diverse interests and their situation (Star Trek fandom for her, them owning two and now three Jersey Mikes franchises, his daughter) and add in all their playful touches – like a dinosaur poem.
A Brief Bit About the Couple
Met at work when he hired her. They now own three sandwich shops together. Very different personality types and backgrounds – but they make it work.
Best Line from the Ceremony
Look, every relationship starts out a bit like a sandwich; you know the basics – what you want, what you are looking for, and when you get that basic premise laid out, you’ve got something special. But it is what you add on and build out from that basic starting point that makes it something special. Then you top it all off with something special – hence, you two standing up here today. Let me tell you…the best is yet to come.
Fun Little Fact about the Ceremony
They had a live painter, and they added a heart to the picture as a unity ceremony.
A Glimpse into their day
Mark
(he/him)
Officiant
A poet who started out filling notebooks during cross-country jaunts on innumerable Greyhound busses and also while working nights at a small donut shop during high school, Mark brings a unique perspective to every situation, every story that needs telling. Storytelling with unique insight and honest affection. A former radio announcer, and stage veteran of high school and community theatre, there is rarely a situation that Mark won’t embrace with gusto or that catches him off-guard. You’re in good hands with him at the helm of your wedding.
Looking for a different approach to your ceremony? The more off-beat, the better. If you have a wedding idea that you’re holding back on because you’re not sure ‘if you can’ Mark is your guy. Whether it is a groom singing with his in-moments-mother-in-law or a family-blending knot tying for five (one that you do not learn in scouts!) to reading (in Swedish) an email from a wedding couple’s Swedish Vallhund,
Mark is the guy you want to take your ‘not sure’ to ‘yeah, piece of cake.’
Mark looks forward to working with you and making your day everything you want it to be.
