Feliz Cumpleaños, seestah!!! 🎉🎂

It’s Scorpio season which means we are resurrecting from our slumber. On the socials, anyhow. We wouldn’t describe our daily lives as slumber-full.

I think I can speak for anyone and everyone who’s ever met @queerofficiant and most definitely for all of us who love them deeply, Karla is a force of love and joy! She may cringe at reading this cause they try to minimize praise of any kind. They’re doing better at accepting it though. About time! lol

Knowing Karla is knowing they’re a genuinely good, kind person! A helper. An emotional support human. An introspective, spiritual being. A fierce advocate for human rights! (REMINDER: VOTE BLUE) A work horse. An open heart. Someone who talks to strangers, makes friends wherever they go, and inspires people to challenge their biases, and grow.

To us, Karla is our blessing. A great gift from some higher power, the universe, aliens, idk. What we do know is this - Karla has always been our example to follow. To keep challenging ourselves to learn, heal, and evolve into our greatest potential.

To me, she’s the reason I exist. The greatest Inti to our Lorenzito and Evie! My biz partner and confidant. Join me in celebrating Karla! 🎉 Love you muchisimo!

If you feel the click, you know it’s right ♥️✨

Your wedding vendors aren’t ‘just vendors’, they’re the ones who walk beside you, cheer for you, and help your day flow like magic.

Choose the ones who make you feel seen, respected, and cared for 🫶🏽✨

💕Your Wedding Ceremony Matters💕

A quick reminder that the moment you say I DO, no matter if it’s just you two with one witness or among your closest 200 loved ones - that’s the moment you enter you ✨MARRIED ERA!!✨

It deserves to be marked as undeniably special, a moment frozen in time that is full of love and joy that you randomly think back on and smile even as you’re doing laundry.

💕 Your wedding ceremony is the reason you and your loved ones are gathering together.

💕It’s the beginning of the next leg of your adventure together.

💕It’s the celebration of how far you’ve come and how far you’ll go.

💕It’s the affirmation of your love and commitment to one another.

💕It’s the moment you look back on when times are “pinch-me” levels of wonderful and heartwrenchingly hard.

💕It’s the core memory you’ll make that continues to keep your love ablaze!

We’re here to bring your story to life and foster joyful connection!
