Arcoiris Weddings, Reverend Mauro Walden-Montoya

Introduction: First, I am a gay man and started doing weddings for the same-sex marriage Community. So I would be honored to officiate your wedding. What is below is my standard message but I read your wedding request and I thought this sounds wonderful! I have two questions, one - what if this covid19 situation is still happening in May? And two, if I'm needed for the rehearsal the evening before, we would probably need lodging as we are in Albuquerque. And if it was ok with you, my husband would come along. I officiated a wedding in Raton for two women and we had a blast so I definitely don't mind traveling. So please if you want, read below. My point is I will do whatever kind of wedding the two of you want! Mauro My service is personalized to YOU, the couple, so that you get a wedding ceremony that you will remember forever. I meet with you and listen to what you want in your wedding, and I almost always accept special requests as part of your service, like a special location (i.e., the mountains, a park, in a hot air balloon, etc.), a candle or sand ceremony, even butterflies! I am happy to include your religious or non-religious preferences. I have performed services in English and Spanish (mixed in the wedding ceremony), as well as Native, Wicca and other spiritualities traditions. And of course non-religious weddings where only the couple's feelings and words are used in the ceremony. I have even performed a wedding with an alien theme. Non-traditional weddings of any kind are my specialty. I love doing weddings because I am able to be with people at one of the happiest times of their lives - and the joy that comes out during a wedding, the sheer emotions, the sharing of a special bond - to be part of that is simply magical. There is always one point in the ceremony where I can see "something" exchanged between the couple - their faces just show it - that means they KNOW they are now married. It is very uplifting for me personally, and to have the privilege of sharing such a wonderful time of a couple's lives is blissful and fills me with love. And I do consider it a privilege to be a part of YOUR ceremony. I can help each of you write your own vows, so you can each say to the other what this day, and the rest of your lives together, means to you. And I am happy to help guide you through the whole process. I hope to hear back from you! Mauro
