Many times an engaged couple will call me confused about what is a confidential marriage license, exclaiming that they want to be married legally. Of course, that is the goal. From my many years of experience as an attorney, a specialized notary, a wedding officiant and a married man, I highly recommend a California confidential marriage license. Why? Well, there are many reasons, and mainly it’s about privacy. In today’s world of identity theft and telemarketing, I strongly recommend it... Read Full Story

I’m posting this wedding information to put an end to erroneous assumptions such as these. Here it is in a nutshell... Read Full Story

There are so many reasons to elope. Here are some of the reasons I’ve come across in talking to many couples and providing them with a private, confidential wedding and a confidential marriage license: Elope for a tax break. (If it’s the end of the year and you know you’re going to get married soon, why not get a write off on your income tax?) Elope for insurance purposes. (If you’re getting married soon anyway and your fiance’s insurance is running out, why not make it legal ahead of that... Read Full Story

I am often called to perform elopements. Since I can provide you with a Los Angeles County marriage license it’s one of the best elopement packages. An elope marriage is often performed for several reasons. During the holidays couples often choose to elope since the family is all there and it seems like an easier time to elope. And as the end of the year comes, many couples who plan to marry next year, go ahead and elope now and have their big wedding later so that they can take advantage... Read Full Story

One wedding idea that is common is the use of wedding candles during a wedding ceremony. Many brides and grooms who get married in beach weddings often want to light a unity candle during the wedding ceremony. A unity candle is a wedding tradition that is usually done indoors.     My experience is that the windy atmosphere of a beach wedding does not mix with the fragile flame of a unity candle. Many of my clients who ignore my wedding advice NOT to light a unity candle outdoors often... Read Full Story

I’d like to clarify some misconceptions about a Confidential Marriage License vs. a Public Marriage License. Many people I talk to think that the Confidential Marriage License is not a valid license, but that is not the case. The only thing that a Confidential Marriage License does it protect your marriage license information from public view. As it is right now, ANYONE can view your personal information on a Public Marriage License and the county has the ability to sell that information to... Read Full Story
