Weddings
_______________________________
I am happy to be a part of your wedding ceremony. I will do everything possible to make it both personal and special. This will be YOUR ceremony.
My services include:
1.) An initial face to face meeting which will be supplemented by additional phone and/or email contacts or meetings;
2.) A wedding packet will
be reviewed at the meeting, it contains:
a variety of suggestions
for each part of a wedding ceremony; a workbook which
contains exercises to enhance understanding and communication on various topics
which are central to any lasting marriage;
3.) Conducting the rehearsal (if one is planned and my schedule permits); otherwise, I will provide written instructions;
4.) Officiating at the ceremony;
5.) Completing all legal forms and mailing them to the appropriate county office. IT IS YOUR REPONSIBILITY TO SECURE THE MARRIAGE LICENSE AND TO GIVE IT TO ME BEFORE THE WEDDING TAKES PLACE;
6.) Attending the reception and offering a blessing before the meal (IF MY WIFE AND I ARE INVITED TO THE RECEPTION);
7.) Presenting a commemorative religious certificate of the marriage. The county certificate is generally available about 10 working days after the ceremony. You will need to apply for a copy of the county certificate from the county clerk's office.
The fee for all of these services is $350 but financial hardships are always considered. A DEPOSIT IS REQUESTED TO SECURE YOUR DATE ON MY CALENDAR AND TO TAKE HOME THE PLANNING MATERIALS.
Even though I come from the Catholic tradition, I am open to working with couples of mixed religions as well as sharing the ceremony duties with other ministers. Furthermore, occasionally issues (not related to the ceremony) arise as couples are planning their wedding; my services include working with the couple to settle those issues.
