My now wife and I are the worlds biggest procrastinators, so naturally a month and half before our wedding we were without an officiant. I made a Facebook post on the RI/MA wedding site and asked for recommendations for officiants. Within a few hours I had a series of people responding recommending Jorge. I sent him a PM and we set up a FaceTime call to go over what we were looking for. Instantly i knew he was our guy. Jorge was a stranger to us, yet 30 minutes into our call he felt more like a friend I’ve known for years. Jorge went into detail what services he provided and really focused in on what we were looking for. We hired Jorge for our big day and for the next month or so we were constantly going back and forth about what was to be included and reviewing drafts he put together for us. Jorge sent me the rough draft and it had me in tears. He incorporated the passing of my nana in a beautiful way and really focused in on telling the story of me and my wife, with both funny inserts and beautiful tributes. I loved Jorge’s ability to make me focus. He would send constant reminders to review the final drafts with any edits and send him my vows, which as a procrastinator I needed! Speaking of vows, he helped me with writers block. He guided me through what was typical for a personal vow, reminding me that it was my heart speaking to my wife. On the day of, Jorge and I sat down and went over how it was going to go down and just talked (as you can imagine I was anxious about the whole day). The ceremony was beautiful and Jorge did a fantastic job engaging the audience while making sure that the spotlight never left my wife and I. When the ceremony was over, I had numerous guest asking me how long I’ve known Jorge for or if we went to school together. He told our story so well that the audience believed we’ve been friends for years. While we may have been extremely late to the game in getting an officiant, we truly believe that it was gods way of bringing Jorge to us. I will always highly recommend Jorge for any ceremonies or officiating needs. Such a pleasure to work with. What was once a stranger writing on my Facebook post, has now become a life long friend!
