I am a Multi-faith and Interfaith Minister, licensed to officiate weddings. The couples I work with are as diverse as our world is. Many are from different faith traditions, different cultures or just want to include diverse rituals in their ceremony. Most couples want to find a common spiritual foundation on which to celebrate this joyous life passage. You may find that you are simply looking for a unique, creative way to express your love for, and commitment to, one another. I partner with you to create a very personal and meaningful ceremony. Most of the ceremonies I officiate use little of the language, music, or visual symbols of a "traditional" wedding.
I work a great deal with same-gender couples and am honored to support this special and wonderful union and commitment. In all instances, I work together with you to craft a simple and beautiful ceremony which blends your vision with my expertise.
WELCOME & OPENING WORDS are a simple welcome and a brief statement about the meaning and value of love and commitment. Sometimes we add a meditation or intention to the ceremony.
THE READINGS affirm and support your love and commitment.
THE QUESTION OF INTENT invites you to promise your community that you will create a loving partnership based on the fundamentals of your values and beliefs.
THE VOWS are your promises to each other written by you to each other.
THE RINGS are blessed by you and exchanged as symbols of your promises made to each other in your vows.
THE BLESSING is a request by me to Creation or the animating life force, asking for support for the commitment you are making.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OR DECLARATION is a summary and affirmation of your love and ceremony.
THE CLOSING WORDS are a statement of gratitude for your future together.
