YOU'VE DECIDED TO MARRY
You're in love. There are stars in your eyes. Your hearts feel as if they might burst with joy. Now the two of you are planning the most exciting day of your life together - you need a location, a florist, a baker, maybe a wedding planner…and an officiant.
And you want the right officiant. You want an officiant who will put together a joy filled and personal ceremony to remember; who will make sure that you are the stars of the wedding ceremony - it is your wedding, after all. You want an officiant who will guide you in developing your ceremony; who can include your family and your community in your wedding to the extent you wish; who will help you feel calm and confident if you are feeling a little nervous during the ceremony.
I OFFER
Officiating at Your Wedding
My joy as an officiant is to help you plan a ceremony that declares your love for one another. Even if your wedding is based in a traditional faith, there are no two people on earth quite like the two of you. The joining of your lives requires a unique ceremony that speaks to the essence of each of you, and to the distinctive life you will create together as you walk into the future side-by-side. Your wedding is the ceremony that will bring fond memories when you have grown old together and are surrounded by your family.
We will meet several times so that I get to know you and you get to know me. Out of these meetings I will learn about your very special time together. Together we will weave the special moments in your lives into the ceremony. We will create it together. Everything you intend to say that day can be expressed beautifully in the ceremony. Please call about fees.
Wedding Coaching
If you are having wedding jitters and you know that there is nothing wrong with your relationship with your fiancé, I can help smooth out the emotional stresses and situational issues that can arise during the months leading up to the wedding. A sense of humor can be your greatest asset during the planning stage. In this case I would be seeing you at times during your planning stage (over and above the meeting for planning the ceremony), and more so closer to the wedding, to make sure that everything is going smoothly. Please call regarding fees if you need this service.
