Woman Crush Wednesday: Colleen McDermott

Every hump day, a Philly woman shares her local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday. Today, ally Colleen McDermott, owner and officiant of Marry Me Philadelphia (MMP), a service that happily performs same-sex unions in Philly and beyond. 

Colleen McDermott

My name is Colleen McDermott and these are my local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday.

Stacey “Flygirrl” Wilson

Stacey is awesome. She creates fantastic, unique art and also throws some of the best real hip-hop parties in the region. Stacey isn’t afraid to be herself. All women should look up to her.

Tina Mouzone

This lady is an aspiring singer and actress. She started out as a client of MMP, and then was hired as an officiant. Tina is super-smart, stylish and extra ballsy. She does things her way, and isn’t afraid to follow her dreams. Currently, she is in Africa performing with her band.

Christan Byrne

Christan is not just my favorite bartender but one of my favorite people. She is smart, pretty, funny and all-around awesome. She is a wonderful friend, and a beloved school-teacher.

Heather Sizemore

Heather is a wonderful photographer and world traveler. She recently toured Europe right after her return from Thailand. She’s beautiful inside and out. Gotta respect a woman who isn’t afraid to chase her dreams and make them a reality.

Dana Persia

Not only is Dana gorgeous, but, as owner of Beautiful Brides Philly, she is a successful and savvy business woman here in the city. I admire Dana, because she’s got what it takes to stand out in the industry, and has become Philadelphia’s go-to wedding-day make-up artist.
