Mimi Giordano, Ordained Non-denominational Minister, Texas Notary

Owner and Founder of “It’s Official

Strong family values are at the heart of who I am and those ideals are the foundation of every individual “love-story” inspired wedding ceremony I author.

My life and personality reflect the treasured experiences I was showered with growing up in East Texas. While life has taken me many places over the years, the past few living in both Florida and Texas, I am honored to have returned home to my roots and live in Longview. It has been said that “you don’t just move into Texas, it moves into you.” As an officiant in both Texas and Florida I have always refer to a group of friends as “all y’all,” sweet tea remains a constant in my home, Texas sheet cake is loved by my Florida friends and Florida’s Key Lime Pie is welcomed at all Texas tables. In Texas we gather on the porch and visit, in Florida folks sit on the lanai and talk, both sates have coastlines that border the Gulf of Mexico but I still don’t like sand in my truck…yes, I drive Red (full size) F150… but most importantly my life has been enriched in countless ways through the many couples that I have united in marriage in both states over the past 22 years.

Mark Twain said “the two most important days of your life are when you are born and when you find out why” this defines my passions which are my family and officiating. I craft individual love-story ceremonies for every couple who entrust me with one of the most important days of their lives. Therefore, I know why I am here.

Every couple has a love story and it is my honor to bring that story to life in each personalized ceremony I write. The ceremony should reflect who you are as individuals and who you will be as a couple. I work hand in hand with each couple to create a memory that will be cherished forever.  

I’d love to hear your love story and share with you more about my passion of officiating, so let’s plan our “It’s Official Meet & Greet” over coffee, tea, and something sweet to eat. I’m looking forward to hearing from y’all.

 YOU DON’T MARRY THE SOMEONE YOU CAN LIVE WITH,

YOU MARRY THE PERSON YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT.
