Owner and Founder of “It’s Official Weddings”

Mimi Giordano
Ordained Non-Denominational Minister

Strong family values have always been at the heart of who I am, and they inspire every personalized wedding ceremony I create.

I grew up in East Texas surrounded by the kind of love, laughter, and traditions that shape a person’s life. While my journey has taken me to many places—most recently spending years living and officiating weddings in both Florida and Texas—I’m proud to call Longview, Texas home once again. As they say, you don’t just move into Texas… Texas moves into you.

My life reflects a blend of both places I love. I still call my friends “all y’all,” sweet tea is always in the fridge, and my Florida friends have learned to appreciate Texas sheet cake just as much as my Texas family enjoys a slice of Key Lime pie. In Texas we gather on the porch to visit, while in Florida conversations happen on the lanai. Both share the beautiful Gulf Coast and breathtaking landscapes. 

What truly defines my life, however, are two passions: my family and the honor of uniting couples in marriage.

For more than 22 years, I’ve had the privilege of officiating weddings and helping couples celebrate one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Each ceremony I write is completely unique, inspired by the couple’s own love story. I believe your wedding ceremony should reflect who you are as individuals and who you are becoming together.

I work closely with every couple to craft a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable—something that will be remembered and cherished for years to come.

Every couple has a story, and it’s my honor to bring that story to life.

I’d love to hear about your journey together and share more about my passion for officiating. Let’s plan an “It’s Official Meet & Greet” over coffee, tea, and something sweet.

I look forward to meeting y’all.

You don’t marry the person you can live with—you marry the person you can’t live without.
