No waiting, no blood test, no hassle! My name is Kate Talbot and my title is Deputy Commissioner for Marriages, similar to Justice of the Peace. Do you think you need a blood test and waiting period to get married in California? You don't. They did away with blood tests and waiting periods almost fifteen years ago. You can get married right here in California with no waiting and no hassle. AND of course, I perform gay marriages. My promise-In fact I make you this promise. I promise that your guests will say it's the best ceremony they've ever attended. I live just five minutes from a beautiful Japanese garden which is in guidebooks. It is a public park so doesn't cost anything and if you have a small group it will be ideal.	But much more than that-I REALLY care about making your ceremony special. I will custom-write your ceremony to make it really personal and special, to include your children, your friends and everyone who is dear to you.. To me, this is not just a job; it is a PRIVILEGE. I have done many weddings where the couple just walk in in jeans and others with up to 560 guests. I have done marriages in my home, at the couple's home or apartment, on the beach, on cliff tops, on sailboats and even on a tiny abalone boat. But every single one is special and wonderful to me.
		References - I have wonderful references. People say such things as " Rob and I are beyond words to express just how much your warmth and energy made our marriage absolutely perfect." "You turned our quick marriage into a beautiful ceremony which everyone in attendance will never forget, including us." "The ceremony is still the topic of conversation whenever we get together with relatives or friends." "Thank you for making our wedding ceremony so special" "We were so fortunate to have found you - I'm so glad you officiated at our wedding." "Peter and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony." "We are impressed with the professional way that you handle yourself. You're everything that you promised to be - and more." "Thank you so much for performing our ceremony. I felt so much love from you that you had me in tears and a few guests too. I'll never forget it."
