I have been married over 26 years to my best friend, my treasure, my beloved. I have two beautiful daughters and love being married!! My desire is that every couple will have a marriage that brings them the joy and pleasure my marriage has brought me.
I love performing wedding ceremonies because it is one of the top highlights in most people’s lives. The day you get engaged is exciting, but the day you say “I Do” is one of the most exciting and memorable moments of your life. I enjoy listening to a couple’s story and working with them to create a wedding ceremony that will be memorable.
