The wedding officiant was a very important role to fill for my wife and I. We wanted someone Christian, actually a leader of a church, not just someone who did weddings, someone with a personal connection to us, and the kicker was that we hadn’t been attending church consistently or really belonged to a church family either!

We had been searching for an officiant for months when I was talking about our wedding woes with some family over lunch. My Uncle Roger and Aunty Liane came to the rescue by reaching out to Anthony and Saun Galang, elders at the Oahu Church of Christ, that the Dequinas belong to and I’ve been around for most of my life. Personal connection? Check! Church leaders? Check!

And not only was Anthony willing to be our officiant. The couple also offered to do a marriage prep with us, which we loved. We met with Anthony and Saun through Zoom over the course of several weeks leading up to our wedding.

Everything we covered was rooted in scriptures and we used a faith based marriage insight program called Prepare Enrich. We got to evaluate ourselves as the kind of husband and wife we wanted to be based on Christian values.

We found our strengths and weaknesses and Anthony and Saun were able to personalize our remaining sessions to focus on the areas we wanted to work on. Working with a real Christian couple was key. They brought in real world life experience fortified with a plethora of marriage coaching certifications.

Anthony really got to know us during our marriage prep time together and it really showed in the ceremony where he was able to add many personal touches. It was evident that he put in lots of thought and preparation. We’ve fallen in love with the Galangs as well as the Oahu Church of Christ family and have been attending their church on Sundays ever since.
