I’m always curious to read the bio of a wedding vendor.  You invite these vendors to be an important part of such a magical day in your life and yet, you know so little about them!  I don’t like that… so here’s a bit about me!

• I’m Megan (obviously) and I’m head over heels in love with my husband, Ronnie.  We are foster parents and adopted our son, Dominic, in 2021!
• We have a fat, spoiled cat (Peanut) and three rescue dogs (Wrigley, Kluber & Teddy). Yes, we give our pets baseball names!
• When I’m not officiating weddings I spend my days working as a professional legal guardian. I have personally served as the legal guardian for about 170 elderly and severely mentally ill individuals over the last 14 years.  It can be a very heavy job so officiating weddings perks me up!
• I was asked to officiate my first wedding in 2004.  Three children later they’re still happily married!
• I am ordained through Universal Life Monastery and I have the authority to solemnize marriages in the State of Ohio. Feel free to verify that by clicking here! If verifying, make sure you spell my name correctly (Megan Tellalian) as their database can be a bit temperamental!
• I love creating the most important part of your wedding day — your ceremony.  Let’s face it…it’s not your wedding day if you don’t have an officiant to make it official!
• I was baptized in a Lutheran Church, grew up attending and was confirmed in a Methodist Church and Ronnie and I were married in a Lutheran Church…but when it comes to your wedding day, it’s about you, your level of spirituality and the personalization we create for your big day!
• My first two weddings I officiated were friends.  The second wedding was the day after the marriage equality decision was announced by the Supreme Court on June 26, 2015. Officiating my friend’s wedding had marriage on my mind and when I heard this incredible news, I knew I wanted to create a business to help join all of these couples in marriage who had been denied the right to marry for so many years.  That weekend I began building my website and Married by Megan was born!
• I have a wedding officiating bucket list — a list of places/types of weddings I really, REALLY want to officiate!  Currently the locations are: First Energy Stadium, the Cleveland Zoo, the Cleveland Aquarium, and the top of my list — a surprise wedding (anywhere!).
• I’m a big fan of trying new restaurants, traveling with my husband (29 countries since we’ve been married and I’ve been to 35 total!), volunteering, Chai tea lattes, visiting new MLB stadiums (14 so far!), and drinking wine!
