So You're Planning a Wedding!
You're in love and you want to get married. Congratulations! This decision is one of the most important you'll ever make. And it leads to many more decisions. When? Where? How? And who will officiate? Please read on for more information, and if you decide I am the right officiant for you, I will be honored to participate.
The Meaning of Marriage
Marriage is a divine and mystical union of two people who come together with love to form a whole which is greater than the separate individuals. It is also a practical social contract in which these two people promise to support and care for each other, and be faithful to each other, for the rest of their lives. At the same time, their community promises to support them in their vows. A marriage creates a new family.
Sacred or Secular: The Choice Is Yours
As an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church since 2003, I am authorized to solemnize any wedding in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My church promotes freedom of religion, including freedom from religion if that is your preference, and the wedding ceremony can be either a religious service or a civil service such as a Justice of the Peace would perform. I am honored to participate in forming these spiritual ties and strengthening the social fabric, and I enjoy performing both sacred and secular ceremonies.
