Welcome and Congratulations!

Your wedding celebration is an important milestone in your lives; a time to honor and make public your love and commitment to each other.

Couples often come with differing religious or spiritual backgrounds, or none at all. I am open to including spiritual, secular, cultural or ethnic elements that are important to you.

I also welcome the opportunity to serve same sex couples in creating a wedding or union ceremony.

Shine! Shine! Shine!
Pour down your warmth, great sun!
While we bask, we two together.

Two together!
Winds blow south, or winds blow north,
Day come white, or night come black,
Home, or rivers and mountains
from home,
Singing all time, minding no time,
While we two keep together.

~~ Walt Whitman

 

About Me

I have been officiating at weddings and designing unique ceremonies since 1996.  I was mentored into this calling by a Unitarian Universalist minister.  Though I am not a traditional minister, I am ordained  through several venues to officiate at weddings.

A happy marriage is what is built after the wedding ceremony.  I offer pre-marital counseling through the Prepare/Enrich program that helps couples discover their strengths and challenges that will inevitably arise in marriage.  Pre-marriage preparation is an important step toward building a solid future together.
