CECILIA PENNER

Vancouver Island Wedding Lady

Guiding you from What to do?  to I do!
ABOUT ME
Are you planning to get married? I can help with that! 

Congratulations on deciding to marry!

As your wedding officiant, my job is two-fold:  to represent you in the celebration of your love, and to fulfill the legal requirements of the province.

If you’re conventional, unconventional, typical, atypical, quirky, neurodivergent, alternative, or however else you identify as individuals and as a couple, trust that you will be embraced and honoured.

The Vancouver Island wedding scene offers many choices of vendors in all categories of wedding professionals. If you need recommendations, I am happy to offer some direction. (I also have lots of opinions about wedding-related stuff – but only if you ask!) 

This website is primarily a home for my blog where I vent and rant and act as my own therapist. However, you can also find photos, links to my social media and details about how to book my services for a wedding.

    NOW IT’S 1.5 YEARS (538 Days) LATER

    Hello, Dear Readers! It’s been a ridiculous amount of time since I last posted anything. After the last post in May 2025, I had an orthopaedic crisis (hip failure) that forced me to re-home my summer ceremonies to other officiants. I am forever…

    Weak in the Knees for You!

    Note and apology: this is very cis/het because that was the situation I experienced. However, it might absolutely apply to any combination of marriers. It’s May as I write this, and we’re back into Wedding Season, full on.  At wedding ceremonies emotions are…
