Love's Journey

About

I am a retired high school counselor. I worked with several different ministries through my church for many years in Fort Worth. My future husband (who happened to be my teenage 1st love) found me on social media in 2014. We dated long distance then married March 14, 2020 right before the pandemic lockdown. I am a newly ordained marriage officiant through Universal Life Church and American Marriage Ministries. I offer the following:

1. Personalized Ceremonies

I will take the time to get to know the couple and craft a ceremony that reflects their love story, values, and beliefs. I offer flexibility in wording, vows, and traditions to create a unique experience.

2. Professionalism

I am confident in public speaking, ensuring a smooth and engaging ceremony. I will handle all legal paperwork efficiently, giving couples peace of mind.

3. Warm & Engaging Presence

I will create a comfortable, joyful atmosphere that makes the couple and guests feel at ease. My delivery is heartfelt, making the ceremony meaningful and memorable.

4. Adaptability & Inclusivity

I respect diverse backgrounds, cultures, and religions, offering ceremonies tailored to various traditions. I am open to non-traditional, interfaith, or LGBTQ+ weddings, making all couples feel valued.

5. Reliable & Organized

I will communicate clearly, arrive on time, and ensure everything runs smoothly. I will coordinate with planners, photographers, and other vendors to keep the ceremony on track as needed.

    A pleasure to work with! The owner puts a lot of work into the planning and details, and she cares about customer satisfaction, not just completing a job.

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Mrs. Gloria Gonzalez officiate our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more caring, thoughtful, and dedicated minister. From our very first conversation, it was clear how deeply she values each couple she works with. She took the time to really get to know us—not just our story, but what was important to us, our values, and the vision we had for our ceremony.
    What stood out most was her sensitivity to our needs. She listened with genuine interest and responded with kindness, always making us feel heard and supported. Whether it was adjusting the wording of our vows, incorporating a special reading, or simply checking in to make sure we felt comfortable, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail felt right for us.
    Her belief that marriage is a true blessing was evident in everything she did. There was such sincerity in the way she spoke about love and commitment, and her presence added a sense of warmth and meaning to the day that we—and our guests—will never forget. She didn’t just officiate our wedding; she celebrated our union with us, and we will always be grateful for that.
    If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional and experienced, but who truly cares about your journey as a couple, we cannot recommend Gloria Gonzalez highly enough

    I was so impressed by Gloria and how she was able to turn our wedding into a much more memorable and intimate experience. She really got know us which made such a huge difference. I know that anyone who is lucky enough to have Gloria officiate will be so happy they did. It was a perfect start to our lives together.
