In ministering a marriage, I provide a ceremony that is unique to the couple, as it reflects their love, beliefs and values. If a couple wants a "custom, personalized ceremony", we meet, spend time together, share ideas and make decisions about their personalized service. We discuss their ceremony in detail, seeing it as the heart of their wedding -- the time and place to acknowledge their love and the sacred vows they are taking. Their ceremony can be traditional, contemporary or a combination of both. A more contemporary service could include further participation of the wedding party, family and/or friends... to read poetry, sing or play a song, participate in a circle of flowers ceremony, or do something special to the bride and groom. They may choose specific vows, or choose to write their own. The ceremony could take place in the location of their choice, offering many wonderful options.

    I am a minister with a deep passion for the recognition of God - a higher power and the divine arrangement that occurs in people's lives. I remind couples of the blessing of the connection they have in one another and their God, all of which will be there for them to draw upon in their relationship, marriage, and throughout life. I support them to see all the possibilities within their divine arrangement and to see their love for each other and God as their greatest source - to build with and to draw upon, as they remain committed to each other and the sacred vows they take in marriage.
