Let the Mistress Marry You!

Ordination and History
I’m ordained by the Church of Spiritual Humanism; my title is Ordained Clergy Person. I got into the wedding business thanks to two kinky friends who didn’t want a traditional wedding; they asked me to get an online ordination so I could marry them. I did, then I married two other kinky couples, and then I started doing vanilla weddings, too.

Along the way, I’ve married a couple who thought they had been lucky to finally find an Officiant who was willing to “tolerate” a bit of BDSM in their wedding ceremony. Then they found me…and I told them they didn’t need to be “tolerated.” We had a beautiful ceremony on South Beach in Miami; together we joyously celebrated their love, their Dominance/submission, and their marriage.

BDSM Pedigree
As the now-retired Mistress of IML, I was closely involved with running International Mr. Leather for ten years. Active in the pansexual leather community, I’ve presented workshops/seminars, judged leather contests, volunteered with the Leather Archives and Museum, and was chosen Pantheon of Leather’s 1999 Woman of the Year. I served on the Board of Chicago Hellfire Club’s McAdory Fund, the first female to hold any CHC-related position, and was named an official Friend of the Club (first leatherwoman so honored in the all-male club’s 36+ year history).

I’m a member of the Chicago Leather Kennel Club (CLKC provides assistance for leathermen/women entering a leather/fetish, contest and mentors titleholders during their pursuit of a regional, national or international contest title). In June, 2009, I was honored to be “birthed” into Mama’s Family, led by the legendary Mama Sandy Reinhardt of San Francisco, as “Mama’s Mistress of IML.”

This lifestyle is my choice, and this
community is my home and family.
