| What a few of my brides- grooms, moms,
dads and an aunty have to say : |
|
Hi Colleen,
Well, here we are...married! We had a wonderful time the entire wedding
weekend. Once my nerves had settled a bit on Saturday, everything went
great! Thanks so much for your part in our experience. You do such a nice
job...it was very personable...several people mentioned that about you.
I found the envelope that was not with the marriage licenses. It actually
was in that folder in the box the whole time...I just didn't look well
enough. Sorry!
You've probably already sent them out, but here is the address:
Anoka County/Vital Statistics
325 East Main St. W120
Anoka, MN 55303
I hope that's the address you had!
Again, thanks for EVERYTHING!!! Let's get together in a few weeks.

From the bride
Hi there, just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful ceremony. We had
a wonderful and busy time. Now we're back in the UK and just beginning to
return to normality. You said some lovely and personal things. I would love
a copy of the poem you read if possible. Please keep in touch and I ca tell
you all about how Rob and I met and introduce you to the virtual world
perhaps if your still interested. Hope the weather is holding up for you
still over there - England seems to have stopped raining for the time
being.!!
All my love Elli WINTER!!!!

From MOM
Colleen -- Thanks again for the wonderful job
you did with the ceremony for Rob and Elli. Knowing them for such a short
time didn't seem to bother you. The ceremony was perfect for them and
made me and many others very happy. I heard nothing but positive
comments. Bless you. Paula

You made it look so easy!! Everyone loved the wedding, the sing
along was a hit. Thank you for making the wedding about us. You
captured the essence of who we are. oh yes, effervescence - I will
remember. :-P
Love Diane & Chris |

Colleen......
....I
really appreciate you taking the detailed version of the script and
adjusting that, it is nice to have someone like yourself who knows how
the ceremony/processional etc. is “Supposed” to go since everyone else is
only concerned with their own role. My gal I was working with at the
club decided she couldn’t be there for the wedding so I am relying on people
who are experienced to help the whole day run smoothly and when it comes to
ceremonies you are my expert --
J
-- I really am not that retentive about it and if things go a little
differently I will not freak out or anything, so just know that – just
thought you should know what was in my “head” when I was picturing the
ceremony.
See you Friday - Jennifer |
Colleen It was perfect! Thank You!

| Colleen, I really wanted Father Patrick for this job, but
for all the guidance, the rehearsing, writing, and with your
performance, delivered, as promised, with grace, elegance and style... And then when
you guided us through the reception toast and roast and dances, well I just
couldn't be happier with the job you did on my daughters wedding. I
shudder to think that for Father Patrick's refusal we would have missed out
on the this perfect day and you. Thank you again and again

Colleen! What a girl!, You got us through the
pictures, the candles and even MC'd my reception! When you say you do
it all you are not kidding.
Thank you - for myself and for my parents as well. They both loved
you!

Dear Colleen-
Steve and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for all your work on
our wedding. Without your help I'm not sure how I would have made it
through. We have had numerous comments on how beautiful and unique the
ceremony was. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy we
chose you to perform our ceremony. I will be sure to recommend you to any
one who is looking. It was absolutely perfect.
Thanks again
Steve and Jennifer Eklund |
Colleen,
.....I am happy to hear about your move to Florida and the new wonderful
guy! If anyone deserves it, definitely you. Not a day goes by that Kerry and
I are not the happiest people in the whole world for running into you at the
wedding fair and realizing right away that you were the one. Not even moving
to Michigan changed the thought process and we wish you nothing but the best
to you in everything you do. Congratulations on the new DVD as well! May
your whole life bring you happiness. I trust you will still be at the
Renaissance next year.
Best Regards,
Tim Taylor |
| Colleen,
You presided over my nieces wedding last week, and wanted to tell you how
wonderful and exciting your ceremony was.
Secretly I am not fond of sitting though weddings but you certainly
brought this one to life!
Mary L |
Thank you Colleen! You took our venue and
gave us the best suggestions for the processional and recessional, you made
our wedding our own. (I would never have thought of the alternatives
we used) and the ceremony was perfect!
I now know what you mean when you say, "delivered with enthusiasm, style,
and grace.
Thank YOU!
Jerry and Mike |
Reverend Colleen

| Dear Rev McLain I bought your DVD at a bridal fair when I
visited there last November. My wedding officiant here in Colorado
doesn't include rehearsals.... I have to tell NOT only was the DVD
outstanding in guiding me through the rehearsal process - the added
information surrounding the ceremony was a WEDDING SAVER. Because of
your DVD I got the wedding I had always wanted. The only sad part????
YOU weren't here to perform it the service.
Thank you - Rev! Though I don't know you - I'll never forget you

Dear Reverend McLain I am writing to thank
you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's wedding. You took
charge upon your arrival and handled the rehearsal and wedding with an
experienced and personable hand.
Your patience, and kindness and wonderful personality made us all so
comfortable and confident.
Thank you so much, and God Bless

| Dearest Colleen I wanted the fairy tale wedding of my
dreams, and thanks to you I have had it. There are no words to express
my heart felt thanks.
Love Jan & John |
Reverend Colleen, You recently preformed my
granddaughters wedding, I felt touched by the magnificent service you wrote,
and your melodic voice both sooths and inspires.
If you ever decide to preside over Sunday services anywhere, I would like to
know.
Mrs. CP Johnson |
| Colleen Thank you ! You did a wonderful job at our
ceremony, I wouldn't change a thing! The day was beautiful, and the great
words you spoke, mean so much to us.
Thank you again for everything
Christine and Jason |
Dear Colleen,
I just popped in to your website to have a look at the wedding album and I
thought I'd drop you a line. You handfasted Tony & I almost two years ago
and I'm writing to say thank you once again. We're still very happily
married (if not happier than ever) as we hit another milestone. I don't
know if I could ever thank you enough for joining me with this WONDERFUL
man! Hearing him refer to me as his wife always gives me a thrill. Of all
the weddings in our collective family, ours is still getting rave reviews to
this day. The wedding video will be transferred to DVD soon and copies
issued to most of the family because no one can seem to get enough of it.
Thank you again, SO much! Here's to the first two years and the next two
hundred!
Sunshine & Ladybugs Forever!
