Congratulations on your engagement! Should your require the services of a wedding officiate; I would be honored to serve as your wedding minister. I would be professional in all aspects of officiating your nuptials. As it reads in the Wedding Vows, a marriage should not be entered into lightly or unadvisedly but rather reverently and in sincerity. This will be the most important day of your life. You and your partner will be joining together to form a lifelong contract. I shall treat this day as the most important day in your life. I will be available by phone most anytime should you have questions, or if you need to make a change in favorite service to officiate. I enjoy the smiles, the laughter, the happiness, and especially the love that is present between the bride and groom. It is always a very happy ocassion for me to see the first married kiss of a couple after I pronounce them man and wife. I offer a nondenomination ceremony, a standard Christian ceremony, or a Catholic ceremony, and the vows for each. You may choose to write some of your own vows, a special poem, or letter, and I will include this in your ceremony. I can also add the Unity Candle Lighting Ceremony, The Rose Exchange Ceremony, or The Hispanic Lasso to your celebration. Special music or speakers may also be added to the event. Your ceremony can be at any location in Galveston County. From the Friendswood - Clear Lake to Galveston, or San Luis Pass to Crystal Beach. It can be held inside or outside. It can be on the beach or the seawall, at your home, a hotel,at a bed & breakfast such as the ship at dock " STACIA LEIGH", a cruise ship at dock, a chapel, or park. If you have children already I would suggest that they also be included in the ceremony since they are now joining as an intregal part of this new family. The family circle will now be made up with both sets of families and both sets of friends into one, just as you and your future spouse will be one in all things. If I can help or assist in any way, I'm here. Thanks for visiting and the Lord bless and keep you! Should you have any questions please call me at 832-549-4696 or 281-595-2002.
