“Badass” Betty Goldstein is a writer, wedding officiant, and longtime alt-wedding fangirl. She’s a Wedding OG–since 1998, yawl–and She Knows Things about weddings….good and bad things. She’ll help you navigate the Wedding Whirlpool of Doom: either by creating and officiating a badass wedding with you, or via her wildly entertaining and informative blog.

Betty currently lives, writes, and officiates in California. Email Betty for details and rates. Ceremony coaching for amateur and pro officiants is also available, and you can email here if you’re interested in a sponsored blog post for wedding products and services.

Betty is longtime happily married and has lots of friends in the wedding biz. Ask a wedding question and she’ll get you an answer, probably salted with opinions, historical context, and/or hard-won advice.

That said, nothing on this website should be construed as legal advice, legit journalism, or divine revelation. Read at your own risk in full knowledge that risk is required if you want to grow.
