In 2014, Liz’s friend Maranda jokingly asked Liz to officiate her wedding during a dinner discussing her engagement. After some moments of laughter, Maranda seriously asked Liz to become ordained and officiate her wedding because of her background in writing and public speaking. She laughed, went home, and then immediately started Googling what the task would involve. The following day at work, Liz’s friend shared news that he was going to propose to his boyfriend but was already having difficulty finding vendors for their wedding because of their sexuality.

When digging around the internet, it was apparent to Liz that the wedding industry severely lacked openness and understanding for those identifying as LGBTQ.

One of the reasons I love offering unlimited meeti One of the reasons I love offering unlimited meetings in our packages is because it truly gives me a chance to get to know you two. ⁠

Terrence and Ezen are both food scientists, and besides learning about their love story that traversed between different sections of the US, they opened me to an entirely new world of food in Chicago. ⁠
⁠
Thanks to them, I finally visited Fat Rice (before it closed 😪) and devoured their salted egg yolk cookie. ⁠
⁠
Terrence and Ezen, thank you for gifting me with all of your food suggestions which I am now paying for by needing to keep a consistent workout schedule. 🤣⁠
⁠
Speaking of food, anyone discover any favorite go-to spots during the pandemic? Mine has been Wasabi Cafe in Chicago!⁠

I've given my voice a semi-rest and we're back for I've given my voice a semi-rest and we're back for ONE LAST EVENING IG LIVE with none other than the great Karlie Louise!⁠
⁠
Now that weekday weddings are a thing (yay finally!) and wedding season is here, we're retiring our weekly IG Lives at night. ⁠
⁠
I first met Karlie literally right before the pandemic hit in NYC when we went to dinner over my favorite food - Italian. As I gorged down pasta, we talked about everything from her photography to regular life to dating. Karlie's one of the most genuine people I know, and I hope you'll all think the same! ⁠
⁠
Join us tomorrow live at 8pm CST! @karlielouisephotography⁠
Everyone always says, "I'm not going to cry during Everyone always says, "I'm not going to cry during my wedding ceremony!" But it's my job to make sure you're laughing and crying happy tears. 😏⁠
⁠
So just to be on the safe, side, leave some tissues in the front row with a loved one. 😅😂 ⁠

Whether you're working with your loved one as an o Whether you're working with your loved one as an officiant or a professional, it's so important to find someone you can completely open up to. ⁠
⁠
When I start working with a couple, it's helpful for me to hear all the good, bad, embarrassing and ugly moments to get a well-rounded view of you two so I can write something meaningful. ⁠
⁠
When choosing your officiant, ask yourself if you'd be opening to talking to that person about very personal memories together to be sure you're the right fit!⁠
⁠
Also, did anyone else know you can get married at Icehouse? Because I didn't know until last year, and I think that's SO COOL!⁠

I will always be the one to go on and on and on ab I will always be the one to go on and on and on about writing your own vows and why you should. ⁠
⁠
Afraid of saying them during the ceremony? Exchange your vows in private before or afterwards with your photographer and officiant!⁠
⁠
If you're really stuck on writing, pop over to the link in our bio for copies of The Vow Journal to get you started! 😍⁠

What are some of your favorite moments from vows? ⁠

There are so many aspects of 2020 that I'm thankfu There are so many aspects of 2020 that I'm thankful for, and one of those is meeting Masha and Greg, a couple just as sarcastic as me. 😍⁠
⁠
And if you're wondering what our meetings were like, they were filled to the brim of sarcasm and heavily debating whether or not to include Greg's face on stick during the ceremony. 😅😆😃⁠
