Christmas is over, and it's time for a New Wedding Year!

In my many years as a wedding officiant and a professional Santa Claus, I’ve only combined the two jobs once in my career. In December of 2024 I was hired to conduct an elopement ceremony at a private home in Edmonds. It was going to be a surprise for the 20 or so guests invited to a “housewarming/Christmas party”. When my couple discovered my 2nd job, it was a natural to have Santa perform the wedding!

Everyone there was surprised to see Santa make an appearance, and even more so to be witnesses to an impromptu holiday wedding!
