Today we’re sitting down with Young, Hip & Married Officiant & Owner, Shawn Miller. Shawn has been in the wedding game for 6.5 years which is when YH&M was born. He is currently available to officiate weddings in Vancouver, BC.
Describe yourself in 5 words
Curious. Introspective. Caring. Adventurous. Creative.
What’s your most memorable wedding moment?
What one piece of advice do you have for couples looking for an officiant?
There are two pieces of advice that are equally important. First, you need to look for chemistry with your officiant. If there is not chemistry, keep looking. Second, you need to make sure your officiant can deliver what you are looking for. Check out their reviews and ask for examples of their work.
What is your favourite part of a wedding ceremony?
My favourite part is always when the bride enters. There are so many great expressions that can be found in that single moment. You can look at the groom’s face, the parents’ faces, the guests’ faces and, of course, the bride’s face. Each one will tell you a different story.
And finally, what song always gets you on the dance floor at weddings?
“Dance with Somebody” by Whitney Houston.
