Welcome to Marry Me In In Indy! LLC. I'm Victoria Meyer. I've been providing Indianapolis wedding officiant services for over 8 years. I've learned that some people are just looking for someone to legally marry them, others are looking for the right person to marry them. I try to express myself in every page of my website so you know who I am and who you are hiring to marry you. But I thought I'd add this list of 10 things about me to learn a little more. If you have any additional questions about me, please contact me. I'm always happy to answer questions. Also check out this blog post: Why did I became a wedding officiant.

10 Things about Me

I have been married for 27 years! My husband was born in Germany. I met him when he was in the US working on a J1 visa. I always say his visa expired and we didn’t. I moved to Germany with him where we got married. He got a green card and, shortly after, we moved back to the US. He is a naturalized citizen. We had a legal wedding in Germany and a wedding in the church where I grew up in the US. I'm very familiar with couples having two weddings. K1 Visa? Green Card? I totally understand!
We are the parents of two boys. They are both on the autism spectrum. They are very high functioning and we homeschool. I welcome people with special needs at weddings. Both the couple being married and anyone who might be attending, or in, your wedding.
We moved to Indiana when I was 9 months pregnant with a 3 year old. I felt like I was so welcome by everyone from the moment we decided to move here. I absolutely LOVE Indiana and it’s definitely my new hometown. We are so happy to be raising a family here. That’s why everything is Indy! With the exclamation point!
I used to be a pastry chef. I graduated from Johnson and Wales University (back when it was still a college) after high school with a degree in Pastry Arts and worked in the hotel and restaurant business for over 10 years. My goal was to be the Pastry Chef in a 4 Star 4 Diamond hotel and restaurant. I was the Pastry Chef at the Inn of the Anasazi in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After reaching that goal I decided to move onto something else. My husband is an Executive Chef.
I am certified holistic massage practitioner - which is not massage therapy. I’m also a certified hypnotist. I don’t do massage at all anymore. I am very interested in self hypnosis. I write and record programs to help me, and anyone else who wants to use them, to change my inner dialogue and live a more happy, positive life. I believe in the power of positive thought!
I limp. I have arthritis in my ankle and would wear Birkenstock sandals for every occasion if I could. (I have some dressy looking ones, for sure!) I had two surgeries to correct a flat foot. After the second surgery I was doing great. I tripped on a cobblestone on Monument Circle in between weddings. My husband brought by post-surgical book right away and everyone still got married. I was so used to having a swollen angle I thought it was just bruised with a bad sprain. A week later, I found out it was broken, 2 weeks later we found out how broken it was. But, because I had been wearing the book and icing it, I was able to heal without surgery. Bones are strong! Arthritis lives on….
I ran half marathon for the first time in 2012. I had run my first mile - ever - 6 months earlier. I did amazingly well and it was in incredibly proud moment! I’m limping on…with dreams of a short run in my future, sometime…
I became an ordained minister on a whim. It was a funny morning at work when I received that email. We laughed so hard as I read “You too! Can be an ordained minister! You can marry people, you can bury people…” I had to print out the application, write a check and send it the mail. The idea of marrying couples appealed to me. A LOT or people get ordained to perform marriages. I was very Christian when I was younger and quite spiritual at the time and the ordination had meaning at the time. My personal religion is more about love and acceptance of all people. That’s why I’m happy to marry ANYONE any way the want to be married. I was ordained 16 years ago. I’ve actually been a wedding officiant for a little over 8 years.
When my husband and I went to get married in the church I grew up in, the priest at the time, it was an Episcopal church, was a HUGE jerk! He said we were already legally married and therefore, he was only blessing our marriage and it wasn’t a wedding. My dad was not allowed to walk me down the aisle and I was not allowed to wear white because I was no longer a virgin. He did it because he could and he did it to exercise any power he had. Priests and pastor and ministers regularly marry already legally married couples all the time. Most countries, like Germany, where I was married, require all couples to be legally married by the state first. They you can go on to have a church wedding if you choose. It’s complete separation of church and state. That priest went on to become a bishop. He was ultimately “fired” from the Episcopal Church for his views on homosexuals in the church, among other things. Because of that experience, I am extremely LGBTQ friendly and 9 month pregnant brides wearing white are more than welcome at one of my wedding in their absolute GLOWING glory!!
I absolutely LOVE my job as a wedding officiant. I started my business on a whim, desperate to find a way to make money and still be a full time mom. I started from 0 and taught myself everything. (Along with the help from the people who have chosen me to marry them.) I’ve learned by doing and I’m so proud of what I’ve built. I’ve been in such an incredible time and place to be a wedding officiant in Indiana. I started while they were still marrying couples at the courthouse and I was performing wedding on the weekends. When they stopped marrying couples in the courthouses I was in the right place at the right time to really grow my business and become a full time wedding officiant. I’ve met incredible couples I would have never met and have learned so much about life and love and the power of love and being legally married. It was an absolutely amazing experience to be able to perform commitment/wedding ceremonies for LGBTQ couples and then legally marry hundreds of LGBTQ couples as the laws changed. I’ve watched same gender couples who have been committed to each other for years, and even decades, weep as they were able to finally marry. Now, it’s just like any other wedding. Legal marriage and what it means in America is so much more than most people think. It’s been an incredible 8 years of marrying over 2500 and I look forward to many more years of marrying so many wonderful couples!
