BASIS FOR MARRIAGE:
.
Weddings are fantastic, but Marriages are Wonderful.
And why are they Wonderful? Because they are ordained by God. Marriage was instituted by God Himself as declared
in Genesis 2:18. "It is not good that a man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him".
Thereupon God created woman of man's own substance and brought her to the man. Our Lord Jesus honored marriage by His
presence at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. And He confirmed it as a divine ordinance and a union not to be severed
when He declared, "Therefore what God hath joined together, let man not separate". Matthew 19:6. Moreover,
the apostle Paul set forth the sacred and exalted nature of marriage when he likened it to a mystical union that subsists
between Christ and His Church.

VENUE:
.
I am an ordained Non-Denominational Christian Minister licensed to officiate weddings and other life event services.
I am prepared to perform your wedding ceremony or vow renewal in any location you choose, whether it be outdoors, in
a church, or in the comfort of your own home. The love you share is a gift from God, and you are His special gift to
each other. It would be my privilege to perform your wedding ceremony under His blessing and to not only offer
you a fantastic wedding, but help you begin a wonderful marriage... a dance between three partners; you, your bethrothed
and God Himself. "A cord of three strands is not easily broken". Ecclesiastes 4:12.
.
I offer a full-service customized wedding ceremony, personalized to your style
and taste and am prepared to perform either a traditional or contemporary service; or if you prefer, a nice blend of
the two. Depending upon your location, we can handle the pre-marriage consultations by phone, by mail, or in person
and I will work with you to make sure every detail is just as you want it. Your personalized ceremony will be written
specifically for you and your betrothed, a beautiful reflection of you, your personal desires and
the love you share. You may choose your vows from examples I provide or, if you prefer, you can write
your own. We can include a Unity Candle or Sand Ceremony, special readings, poetry, favorite scripture, anything
you choose, and once written, I will either mail or hand deliver the ceremony draft to you for approval or
further editing. My goal is your complete satisfaction and I will go the "extra mile" to capture
the heart and soul of your relationship, making the finished product meaningful, memorable, and UNIQUELY BREATHTAKING.
.
Following the wedding, I will provide you with a Wedding Portfolio,
a Keepsake Marriage Certificate suitable for framing and a beautiful booklet containing a copy of your personalized ceremony. I
will also file your marriage license with the proper town or city authorities and provide you a copy of the same.
.
I am sincere, easy-going and flexible and will do everything within my power to make YOUR day special... just the
way YOU want it.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
.
.
Most of the comments I receive come from parents, relatives and wedding guests
who sincerely thank me for a unique, heartfelt ceremony and memories that will last a lifetime.
.
One mother told me, "I will never experience another wedding service more beautiful than this one. As
I listened to your words, I kept wondering if you could possibly say something better or more meaningful than what you had
already said, and each time you did. It was wonderful. Anyone would be privileged to have you perform their wedding
ceremony."
.
Another person told me "My family and I flew all the way across country to
attend this wedding, and hearing your words made it worth every mile".
