meone who could command the wild and unpredictable nature of the ocean; someone who could guide us through unfamiliar territory. We were so happy and lucky to have found Captain Ray, he was the perfect person for the task at hand. We found him online, and a couple months before the wedding, we met up with him because he wanted to get to know us. We talked for awhile, he asked us various questions and he learned how we met each other, what we have in common, our interests, etc... A short time later, he sent us his ideas and outlines for our ceremony. We were able to work together to customize and make adjustments, he came up with a beautiful and personal script that was unique to our lives, filled with love, humor and poetry. Our friends and family were complimenting the ceremony and Captain Ray for days and weeks after, they keep asking us questions on how did we come up with all that.

f the process and helped us stay focused despite all of the craziness that was going on. He was incredible to work with. In addition, Captain Ray was extremely detailed, asked all of the appropriate questions and most importantly listened to our desires for our ceremony. Captain Rays calming demeanor helped calm my last minute wedding jitters and kept the environment light with laughter. Im not sure that Captain would admit to this but he was so vested in our wedding that he even had tears in his eyes by the time our ceremony ended (Sorry Capt!). Had we need to plan our wedding all over again, you better believe we would be working with him. I highly recommend Captain Ray to my friends or family!

ve story. He talked about the ceremony and what we wanted to include or exclude, but he also asked about our families and our individual histories and really got to know who we are. By the next day, he had already composed a basic script for the ceremony that showed he was really listening to what we said and humorously recounted how our story evolved to the point of marriage. The best part of Captain Ray presiding over your wedding is that he creates a ceremony that is about you. He tells your story to your guests, which makes them feel like they are a part of the ceremony as well. He allows you input into what you want him to say, what rituals to include, and even the wording of your vows so that it is a truly personalized day. Captain Ray graciously worked with us to insure there was a space in our ceremony where my father could give his own blessing. It meant the world to us to have that time for my dad to take part in our day as well, and it speaks to how important it is to Captain Ray to make sure you have everything you want in your wedding. Genuinely a nice man we were very happy with him.

cuss "does a stand out officiant diminish that scared part? " Needless to say we agreed to move forward in asking Ray to marry us. Upon meeting Ray in person (at no additional charge), any apprehension flew out the door. We talked easily, like family friends, he has a way of making you comfortable and want to open up about your history. The first draft of our ceremony was jaw dropping. He 'got us'. His words were so beautiful, so personal, our final draft had only minor adjustments from the first. The day of ceremony Ray was incredible. He looked great, sounded great, it was a beautiful day. We are so happy that we chose with book with Married by A Sea Captain, it was both memorable and emotional.
