Need help with a Klingon wedding

[marence]

My fiance and I are having a destination wedding, and returning home to Cleveland for our reception. We intend to have a (very) short Klingon ceremony* at the start of the reception, and are looking for someone who speaks passable Klingon & can dress appropriately to officiate. We'll already be legally married, so we don't need a minister, just a Klingon.   This is a very important part of our wedding plans, as we are both log-time ST fans and because the beginning of our relationship was described as "Klingon love" by some of our friends.
Do you have any suggestions where to find a Klingon in Cleveland? We're experienced with prosthetics, so if the person doesn't have a forehead, we can make them one.
If anyone out there can help. please email me at marence at gmail dot com.

*Minus the ritual family fight (see Worf & Dax, etc) because the only family we have are 3 daughters, and the thought of putting weapons in their hands makes us very nervous. We don't want actual bloodshed at the ceremony...

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! May you have a wonderful life together or die trying.

You show wisdom in foregoing the family fight. The only bloodshed at an actual wedding should be limited to a showdown between the couple’s parents and the catering company over the size of the bill versus the quality of the food.

A friend tells me that the quickest way to find Klingons in your area is to roll tribbles downhill and listen for the screaming. If tribbles are in scarce supply and you cannot pay the import fees, the Ohio Sci-F- Fandom Club Directory includes a number of Klingon organizations. The contact people listed there may be able to refer you to someone who fits your requirements and is willing to make the trip.

As the page has not been updated in some years, I do not know how many of its organizations or members are still active. Note also that very few Klinfolk actually speak the tlhIngan Hol.*

The Klingon Language Institute maintains a list of members who have volunteered their contact information. There are five listed in Ohio. Perhaps one of them can be of assistance. I do not know how up to date the provided contact information is. (Notice a trend here? }}: /).

Wishing you Qapla’ (success),

Ohio is a bit far to travel, but given that the KLI seems like the best resource. How important is it that the speaking is in tlhIngan Hol? I only ask this because all the Klingon weddings I have either performed or seen have been in english with small bits in the Mother Tounge. Also if this is to be brief it seems like this is more of a quick blessing than a full ceremony, something you might want to make clear to whatever performer you get ahold of. Best of Luck.
