  • I served as an officiant for the wedding of a couple of friends yesterday. It was probably the single biggest honor that I have ever experienced: launching a couple on their wedded bliss together. While I was plenty nervous leading up to the ceremony, it really was bad as the ceremony began. My hands were shaking and I was worried that I would lose my voice. The ceremony was on the south side of the State Capitol and the bride and groom looked amazing.

    I know that the couple will be happy, and I like to think that my message bore significance to them and will help them as they enter this new phase of their lives together.

    Afterwards, I even received compliments on how I did, from both friends and strangers alike. Someone asked if I would do it again, and I responded with a resounding, "Yes!" There is a point where feelings go beyond words, and this was one of them. The opportunity provided me the most amazing feeling and is an honor and a privilege to be a part of. My life is better for the chance being in it. In conclusion, if anyone is looking for an officiant, keep me in mind!
