Hi, I'm Mark.
An ordained Texas wedding officiant based in Denton. I marry couples at home, over Zoom, in their own words.
Why I do this
Simple: I love love. There's nothing quite like the moment two people make it official, and it gives me real joy to be the one who brings them together, legally.
I started Vows Online Texas for couples who want their wedding to feel like them: small, personal, and at home, with everyone they love able to watch. No venue, no crowd to perform for. Just the two of you and the people who matter.
My other work is helping people feel calm and at ease. That same care goes into every ceremony, and it's the heart of Calm Before the Vows.
Your words. Your values.
My favorite part of this work is marrying each couple in the words they choose, built around the values they hold dear. We'll talk by phone, Zoom, or email to shape the words you want to say and the details you want in your ceremony. Then, on the day, I make sure it all comes together.
What you can expect from me
A ceremony that's yours.
Your story, your vows, your readings. Traditional, personal, religious, or not. It's up to you.
Legal and handled.
A real Texas marriage. I complete my part of the license and return it to the county clerk as soon as it reaches me.
Calm and prepared.
A tech check before the day and a phone backup plan, so nothing gets in the way of your moment.
Every couple welcome.
Whoever you are and whoever you love, you're welcome here.
Anywhere in Texas.
Your living room, your porch, your backyard. Your guests can join from anywhere in the world.
Clear and simple.
No surprises. I confirm the details and payment terms with you in writing before you pay.
