Over the last 25 years, I have had the pleasure of officiating at hundreds of weddings in a variety of settings.
          During my thirteen years of serving local churches, my greatest joy was performing weddings. Every year, I would get more and more calls to perform wedding cermonies for people who had attended a wedding that I had conducted and now wanted me to officiate at theirs.
         When I left these church settings, I continued to perform weddings while obtaining additional training as a mental health counselor. I am now lucky that my life's work is what I enjoy most - being with a couple at one of the most important and precious times in their lives.
