Note from the Otecs

I LOVE sharing emails from my couples!

Rev Archer,
We want to thank you so very much for making our ceremony so wonderful! We are so glad that we chose you to officiate at our wedding and can’t even imagine having had anyone else marrying us. The ceremony and prayers were perfect! We will highly recommend you to anyone in need of a minister for their wedding.
Thanks again
Kenny and Suzanne Otec

AWW! Thanks guys I thought you were awesome too!

Lookout, here come the Soyez-Millers!

I know why people get married in Fall in Missouri. The air is cool and free of humidity and we couldn’t have asked for a better day than we had today in Phelps Grove Park.

This great group of people tied the knot in the park with a host of very nice friends and family. Weddings don’t get better than this!

The really cool part about this is that the wedding rings were made of wood. Is that the neatest thing you’ve ever heard?!

Hurray for Clyde and Ashley!

Congratulations to the Otecs!

If you are looking for an unconventional wedding location, check out Summers at the River down AA in Nixa. This sport bar features a really nice outdoor area in which to tie the knot.

Congrats to the Allens!

In a very laid back wedding, Dawn Hammer and Dan Allen tied the knot in their friend’s backyard overlooking Table Rock lake. I couldn’t be happier for this “cool” couple!

I have pictures of this one but they aren’t on my camera so I am going to have to get them from “the assistant”!

Congratulations to the Dillingers

You may not know that I do “alternative” committment ceremonies, but they are one of the highlights of this job. Seeing two people who come together for love against what society says is correct can be a very beautiful thing.

This last weekend, Shawna and Jennifer said their vows at a great outdoor ceremony.

Shawna and Jennifer

A committment ceremony is a lot like a wedding but there is no license and they are not legally married. They are a great couple with a great future. I can only hope that Missouri will stand up for people’s right to choose like other states have and we will no longer have to have seperate “non-legal” ceremonies for same sex couples.

Congratulations to the Medellin’s!

Language these days is becoming more of a barrier. This wedding that I performed for Blanca and Martin was unusual because Martin does not speak English, but Spanish.

Blanca and Martin

Luckily, we were able to get an interpreter who repeated the ceremony so that Martin could say his vows and his family members could follow the ceremony as well.

Overall, this is a great couple that picked a wonderful spot, The Washington Park on the North side of Springfield, to tie the knot. Congrats guys!

Congrats

The McElfresh wedding

You may remember my post about Brenna and Matt McElfresh (if not scroll down to read it!). Two awesome people that I married in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Brenna sent me the best message a minister could get yesterday:

Reverend Archer was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She met with us long before the ceremony and took some time getting to know us and figuring out what type of ceremony we really wanted. She worked with us on the exact wording of the ceremony, too. When the weekend of the wedding came, she took charge of both the rehearsal and the ceremony to help them flow smoothly. Her overall demeanor and knowledge helped calm the groom and me. She also took her time talking to family members at the rehearsal dinner and reception. Everyone that met her remarked to me later on how much they liked her. I couldn’t imagine anyone but Tiffany leading us through the vows. It was all perfect.

She also sent me the great pictures that are below! Congrats again to Brenna and Matt!

Congratulations to the Hazels!

“No ceremony too small” should be the motto of Magick Weddings! Small weddings make things less stressful and more intimate. In a very nice wedding in the town of Roby, MO Sharon Lester and Joshua Hazel tied the knot and was able to have friends and family be a part of their ceremony.

Congrats guys!
