WEDDING CEREMONIES

I love being married to my best friend!  And I thoroughly enjoy getting together with two people who have fallen in love and assist them in preparing a wedding day to dedicate their lives to sharing this wonderful journey together as one entity!  Combined with personal gatherings and interviews to better know a couple and my experience in church ministry and Spiritual Direction, I am confident that I can craft a special ceremony to honor your glorious day.

My approach to weddings, civil unions, and all the ceremonies I officiate are performed with a joyous heart.  I am honored to be asked to be a part of your celebration or gathering and will always strive to make your ceremony a one-of-a-kind event!

The ceremonies I create are spiritual and holistic in approach, meaning I take into account the heart, mind, and soul of the whole person, the whole couple, and their entire family and friendship base (should these parties want to be involved).  No matter what faith or cultural background you come from, whether your approach is traditional, contemporary, or light-hearted, if you are a part of a religious community...or if you don't believe in a religion at all --- I will custom plan a ceremony around who you are and what your essence is all about.

VOW RENEWALS

My wife and I at present have been married for 22 years and to this day I will still state without hesitation that one of my most favorite events in our time together was mine and Vicky's renewal of our vows after 10 years of marriage!

At one point in time, two people come together, fall in love, and dedicate their lives and love to one another forever.  They make lifelong promises to each other in front of a certain group of family and friends.  And as time passes, new friends and relationships are developed.  What better way to remember these all commitments, celebrate lasting love, listen to promises renewed, and tell your new relationships that you enjoy having them in your life than to renew your vows in a lovingly custom made celebration!  Allow me to make your ceremony as personal and as creative as you want it to be. We can have family members sing songs, dedicate a reading to new friends and old, or write your renewal vows to each other all over again!  Let me help you re-commit your continued life together.
