It was a warm summer day full of sunshine for their wedding at Prestwick Golf Course. As guests made their way to the wedding ceremony site the couple prepared to walk down the aisle. 

For their wedding ceremony those shared bits of their love story, celebrating their journey to the aisle and the reasons they chose each other as their partner. They chose beautiful wedding vows to read to each other; 

Today, surrounded by all of your loved ones, I choose you to be my husband. I am proud to be your wife and to join my life with yours. I vow to support you, inspire you, and love you always. For as long as we both shall live, I will be by your side–for better or worse, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer. You are my one and only today and every day.

And one of my favorite readings was shared; 

To Love Is Not to Possess," James Kavanaugh "To love is not to possess, To own or imprison, Nor to lose one's self in another. Love is to join and separate, To walk alone and together, To find a laughing freedom That lonely isolation does not permit. It is finally to be able To be who we really are No longer clinging in childish dependency Nor docilely living separate lives in silence, It is to be perfectly one's self And perfectly joined in permanent commitment To another—and to one's inner self. Love only endures when it moves like waves, Receding and returning gently or passionately, Or moving lovingly like the tide In the moon's own predictable harmony. Because finally, despite a child's scars Or an adult's deepest wounds, They are openly free to be Who they really are—and always secretly were, In the very core of their being Where true and lasting love can alone abide."

Hey, I'm Nichole your local wedding Officiant and I'm here to tell you that Justice of the Peace, Officiant, Celebrant and sometimes Minister are all interchangeable titles for a person who can legally perform your wedding ceremony. 

I'm local to Holly, Fenton, Clarkston, Waterford and Pontiac. As a local Justice of the Peace I perform wedding ceremonies for all kinds of weddings. Intimate, elopement, grand weddings, and of course simple sign and go deals as well. 

When folks google "Justice of the peace near me" they are often looking for a smaller wedding and sometimes the smallest type, that would be my sign and go, or simple signing. 

As your Justice of the Peace I can meet with the two of you, two witnesses and sign your license, ask you if you are here to marry each other and promise to love each other, you say "we are" and boom, you are legally married. 

There are many reasons a couple may search for a Justice of the Peace, did you know that many local courthouses no longer perform weddings, or if they do, its once a week and that creates a long backup. 

Rest assured my marriage services as your Justice of the Peace are above what any cold courtroom can offer you! 

Reach out today to inquire about my Justice of the Peace services: 

Nichole, owner of A Simple I Do wedding Officiants has expanded her business to include two new Officiants, Jena and Meaghn. Together they welcome the opportunity to create beautiful wedding ceremonies for couples in the areas of Holly, Fenton, Clarkston, Waterford and the surrounding areas.

Finding a local wedding officiant these days doesn't seem to be too hard as there are many to choose from, but choosing the right local officiant takes some time and thought. Be sure to interview your local wedding Officiants, ask questions like: How many weddings have you performed? Where are you ordained with? What is your typically wedding like? Can we do a zoom call so I can get a vibe for you? 

At A Simple I Do, your local officiant is waiting for you. 

Location, location, location! I specialize in small weddings I do around 200 intimate or elopement weddings a year and let me tell you they are magic. I absolutely love smaller wedding ceremonies because the focus is on you, the couple and your love. 

The stress is almost not existent in a small wedding ceremony because there is little to do, everything is optional. You can dress up or dress down, you can bring flowers or none. Your intimate wedding can be anything you dream of. 

A lot of couples struggle when it comes to where to host their small or intimate or elopement wedding ceremony and I have the perfect option!
