Your Dream Wedding.

Falling in love with the person of your dreams and being married is something we all dream of. And, for me, the wedding ceremony is all about sharing your relationship and the love that joins you together. Marriage is a celebration and that's why many choose to be married by an officiant such as myself instead of going to the local County Clerk's office. It is a time to celebrate your relationship with your friends and family and an opportunity for them to join in your happiness as they bless you with their prayers, their presence and good wishes. Every couple has a great story about how they met, how they wooed, and how they fell in love. That story should absolutely be shared with everyone and that is exactly what we will do together.

The process will begin with the initial consultation; in person, by phone, or email to see if we are a good fit for each other. If we agree to work together we will discuss what is important to you, talk about some other ideas you may not have heard about and with the input you provide I will design a ceremony that truly reflects who you are and your wishes.

I am passionate about love and marriage and I am passionate about what I do. I promise you an enjoyable ceremony, a treasured memory and a truly quality experience full of joyful tears and plenty of smiles.

My Vow Renewal

Renewal of Vows

Maybe your initial wedding wasn't everything you wanted it to be and maybe it didn't turn out to be the "perfect day" you would have planned. Or maybe you just want to renew the special feelings you have for one another, especially on a special anniversary. A renewal of vows is the perfect option. You can invite family and friends and create a "new special day", one in which you and your spouse renew the vows you made to each other when you first said "I do".

My husband and I renewed our vows for our 30th Wedding Anniversary and it is a memory I will never forget. We went to our favorite beach park and barefoot with toes in the sand, we renewed our vows in the presence of the campground chaplain and numerous other guests who made their way to the seaside to watch. Our daughters and their families were there with us and as precious as our wedding day was, our vow renewal was extra special. Because of life's experiences we were more committed, our love had grown even stronger than we imagined and for us, it was a celebration of a love even deeper than we ever thought possible. I would like to offer you the same experience.

In preparation, we will work together to create a personal ceremony that reflects the love you felt for each other as bride and groom, and how that love has grown and matured through the years. And if you have children and would like to, we can make them a part of the celebration of life you have built together..Whether you are spiritual, non-religious, religious or somewhere in between, I am committed to creating a personalized ceremony that incorporates your beliefs and values, celebrates who you are as a couple and includes customs, components and traditions that represent you best..The process will begin with the initial consultation; in person, by phone, or email to see if we are a good fit for each other. If we agree to work together we will discuss what is important to you, talk about some other ideas you may not have heard about and with the input you provide I will design a ceremony that truly reflects who you are and your wishes.

Elopement Weddings

Pre-Planned Elopement Ceremonies and small intimate weddings are some of the sweetest ceremonies I do. This is basically for the couple who wants a drama-free ceremony, no details to distract you, just a celebration of your relationship. There can be many reasons that lead you to decide you want to have a wedding of this type, but no matter what the reason, the end result is a wedding that is celebrated beteween the two of you, me and God as our witness. This type wedding allows the two of you to focus on each other and your relationship instead of so many other things that often become a part of a larger wedding. I love being a part of Elopement Weddings. Couples come to me rather than just going to the local courthouse because they want something a little more personal, and a lot more special than what a Justice of the Peace has to offer. They want something unique and memorable, something created specifically for them and a ceremony that will mark their "special moment in time". That is what we will do together. I go through the same process as I do with couples who want a much larger wedding and the end product is the same... a beautifully written ceremony. I will talk with you, get to know all the special things about you and your relationship, and together we will craft a ceremony that celebrates your love as only your hearts can tell it. And if you want to invite a few more guests to share in your joy; parents, siblings or best friends, that's perfectly alright too.

Whether you are spiritual, non-religious, religious or somewhere in between, I am committed to creating a personalized ceremony that incorporates your beliefs and values, celebrates who you are as a couple and includes customs, components and traditions that represent you best. The process will begin with the initial consultation; in person, by phone, or email to see if we are a good fit for each other. If we agree to work together we will discuss what is important to you, talk about some other ideas you may not have heard about and with the input you provide I will design a ceremony that truly reflects who you are and your wishes.

I promise to deliver your ceremony professionally and with the same eloquence as a wedding of a much larger scale. The only difference will be that it is just the three of us. Your ceremony will be enjoyable, a treasured memory and a truly quality experience full of joyful tears and plenty of smiles.

Special Circumstances

While all weddings are special, sometimes circumstances arise that cause a ceremony to be performed with very little notice.

Unexpected Deployment Sudden Illness or Accident Elopement

Last Minute Decision

I am happy to perform such ceremonies in your home, in a hospital, or wherever is appropriate for the occasion. Either the "Now and Forever" or "Happily Ever After" package would be ideal fo these type situations and in the case of an unexpected deployment, I am happy to offer a $50 discount off of my regular fee for these services. I am able to perform your ceremony with as little as 24 hours notice and will write your ceremony with the same loving care that I would any other ceremony. My beautiful Serenity Cove gazebo would be a perfect setting for exchanging your vows.. Add this to pre-recorded bridal music for the occasion and you have the perfect setting for your spur-of-the-moment ceremony.

Commitment Ceremonies [Also, commonly known as "spiritual" "symbolic" or "promise" ceremonies]

LIfe situations vary and what works for one couple might not work for another. Many times couples find themselves in committed relationships, and want to be united under God's blessing, yet due to life's circumstances, it's more practical for them to choose a Commitment Ceremony rather than a traditional wedding. The major difference between the two is that, without a Marriage License, the union is not legally binding, and the couple does not receive legal status for medical berefits, insurance, name change, etc. There is also a difference in the way the vows are written, and all words signifying a legal marriage are omitted. Yet, for those who choose to have Commitment Ceremonies, they are just as meaningful and important to a relationship as having one with civil (government) backing. If this is your situation, please give me a call. I will get some information from you for the ceremony, have you sign a "Symbolic (Unofficial) Wedding Ceremony Waiver" stating you understand your Ceremony will not be traditional, and that it will not result in legal status as Husband and Wife. I will proceed to draft a ceremony for you with the same love, care and consideration that I give all my ceremonies, and you have my promise that it will be every bit as beautiful. Some of the most happy, committed couples I know have found themselves in the same exact situation, so please don't hesitate to ask. It would be my honor to do it for you.

"From this day forward,
you shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
and my arms will be your home."

~ extract from Marianne Williamson's book "Illuminata: A Return To Prayer" (1995). .
