Chris Montes
Ordained Minister in Washington, District of Columbia
About Me:
Hi! My name is Christopher Montes. Welcome! I'm so glad you found me! Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Every day, I get to be a part of the beginning - or the continuation - of something amazing! I get to witness love in action as couples from every walk of life allow me to be the person who officiates their wedding.
I wanted to become a wedding officiant to make it easy for every couple to be legally married. I wanted every couple to have the opportunity to enjoy their wedding day - be it a quick civil ceremony or a full, formal wedding - without judgement.
The act of getting married and taking the next step in your relationship is something that makes you more. You are more together than each of you could ever be alone. The last thing you should ever have to do is apologize about who you love and in what way you choose to marry them.
To all those who have trusted me with the intimacies of them - either a secret wedding in my office, or the stories of their life and love to be incorporated into their ceremony - Thank You!
To every couple that walks off the street into my office - Thank You!
To every couple that trusts me, a complete stranger, to meet them in a seemingly random location to marry them - Thank You!
To every couple that has trusted me to enter their home to marry them - Thank You!
To every parent who has trusted me to marry their child - Thank You!
