Who is Candice M. Gutierrez?

I am a woman, Daughter, Sister, Puerto Rican, Friend, New Yorker, Coloradan, traveler, foodie, veteran, Blessed wife, Mother in my own right, miracle Believer, Music lover, Paparazzi Accessories Consultant, Jewelry lover, unicorn lover, iphoneagrapher, and now I can happily add Wedding Officiant to my list.

Okay, lets really dive into who I really am.  I was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in new York city.  I had always considered myself lucky to have been able to grow up in such an amazing city and to have been exposed to so much.  

 

after high school i did a little bit of college and worked at hard rock café (such a cool job).  but my life would go in a very different and unexpected direction. 

 

I joined the army 1999, what the what?!?!  I served my country for 4 years and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.  Nothing like putting on that uniform everyday.  I got to travel to many different countries, Bosnia, Hungary, Korea, and Germany and live in many states across the United states.

 

I got to meet the love of my life and marry him thanks to the army.  after I got out of the army I would go wherever the army sent my husband until the last place they would send him and we would make our "forever" home, fort Carson, Colorado springs, Colorado.  who knew I could trade the view of the new York city skyline for the view of the mountains, especially when they are snow-capped.

 

During my time as an army wife I got into direct sales in 2008.  I loved it.  I loved that I owned my own business, was passionate about a product, and got to make new friends and hang out with old ones.  in 2012 before my husband deployed for the last time I decided to join another direct sales company.  I was doing so well with this new direct sales company I decided to quit the first one.  10 and half years later I am still blessing others with affordable jewelry.

​

In 2014 my husband retired from the army after 24 years and since then we have been living life.  fast forward to July 19th, 2022 when I officially became an ordained minister/wedding officiant.  I would be honored at the consideration of officiating your wedding.

With all the craziness going on in our country, I wanted, no I needed to be apart of happiness, joy, and love.  and What better way than to be a wedding officiant and help be apart of a couples happy and joyous day.  I am excited & looking forward to officiating your wedding.

The person and wedding officiant I always strive to be everyday is caring, kind, loving, Open-hearted, and open minded.  I am non-denominational, interfaith, and an lgbtqia+ ally.  I have no room in my heart for hate and judgement.  All are welcome, come as you are.  I just want your wedding ceremony to be happy, joyous, and full of love.  No matter your ideas, requests, and/or themes we can and will make it happen.
