A typical ceremony last’s between 15-20 minutes. This of course will vary as to the type of ceremony you choose. If you and your groom wish to recite your own vows, I will incorporate them into the ceremony. I customize each and every ceremony I officiate to meet your needs, whether it is a religious ceremony, spiritual ceremony or, an interfaith ceremony. I will make your day a memorable one that you and your guests will remember for many years to come.

As with all families, there will be loved ones that have passed. I usually mention their names in remembrance, however if you wish to do something more, such as lighting candles or recite a specific prayer, I will be more than happy to incorporate it into the ceremony.

The wedding officiant sets the tone for the ceremony and presents it in the way that you had envisioned. As you stand before your friends and family reciting your vows your ceremony will be unique, personal, and reflective of who you are as a couple.

I look forward to standing before you on this special day as you begin your new life together.

The wedding ceremony and vows are a reflection of your uniqueness as a couple, and captures the essence of your love for one another. I will create a ceremony that is elegant, personalized and beautiful. Your input will be welcome and together we will create something truly magical. I am the vessel that will deliver your thoughts and wishes to all in attendance. Your day will be unique, personalized and to your complete satisfaction.

We can meet for a face to face meeting before you decide to hire me; I know all too well the importance of this day. If it’s not convenient, we can Skype. There is no charge for this.

With more than 15 years of experience, you can feel extremely comfortable that you will be in good hands. I will make this day one to remember, it will be filled with joy, warmth, spirituality, and lots of love. This ceremony will be one of a kind, and one that you will remember for the rest of your lives.

After the Marriage

Social Security has a rule that the bride must file an SS-5 form (a new application form showing change of name and /or marital status) within the fiscal year for tax purposes, (The SS-5 form should be filed, even if you are keeping your own name) along with an original proof of marriage. Social Security may take a while if you rely on the mail, so we always suggest you bring another form of proof with you. Therefore you may want to request two proofs of marriage. Check with Social Security first, see if you walk it in, will they just look at it and return it to you. We suggest that you don’t take any time off from work to go to the DMV and any of the other place until you have an original marriage certificate in hand.
