Our Story
Pictured: Ryan and Lauren
These good looking people want to marry you -- by that they mean officiate your marriage ceremony, not propose and then have dinner with your Uncle Ned (who they are sure is a lovely person and a mean dancer).
We met at Harvard Divinity School, where we connected over a mutual love of humor, the nuances of religious traditions, and the faith in higher things needed to tie life together.
Coming from different backgrounds and religions, Lauren and Ryan know what it means to find common ground in a relationship, as well as how to celebrate and explore differences.
We want to marry you because we (Ryan and Lauren) are big on love.
We love weddings: big and small, formal and casual, traditional and themed around 90's cartoons.
We like individuality and traditions, but we love fusing the two together to give you a ceremony that shows everyone involved your essence as a couple.
We want to help you have a wonderful day, a magical day, a transcendent day -- your day.

In 2014, Ryan was asked by a close friend to serve as the Jewish officiant at a mixed-marriage wedding. He happily and eagerly obliged. His training and preparation at Harvard Divinity School allowed him to speak to the couple about the ceremony they wanted, and the support and diligence of Lauren made sure the happy couple got what they wanted.
The joyful experience was one that Ryan and Lauren wanted to repeat again.
They furiously began researching how they could help more couples bring their ceremony to life on their special day. They tabled what was required in various nearby states, filled out the necessary paperwork, and spurred on by the wonderful news that the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, set up shop on this website.
