Your Minnesota Wedding Ceremony

Respect and tradition are important in a wedding, but so is a feeling of vitality and a sense that the wedding ceremony reflects who you really are. You may want a spiritual wedding ceremony, or a wedding that isn’t religious at all, or you may want a wedding ceremony that honors the traditions of your family, yet isn’t stuffy and has more of a feeling of celebration to it. 

Each couple is completely different, and many want a personalized wedding ceremony that is written and coordinated according to their wishes. In addition, many couples would like some help putting it all together and making it run smoothly.

	What you will get when you choose me to design and officiate your wedding:
		•  A flexible, experienced minister with the expertise to plan your unique, personalized wedding ceremony, no matter what your site or what kind of wedding you are planning. •  Your wedding can be religious or nonreligious, or simply spiritual in your own way •  Your wedding will be completely written out just for you, reflecting your feelings and beliefs and incorporating your personal style •  You can write your own vows, if you wish, and include friends and family

Additional considerations:

•  You may have selected a nontraditional wedding site in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, a spot that poses unique challenges.

•  You want a more meaningful wedding ceremony than a Minnesota Justice of the Peace or Judge can provide--one that is tailored and customized to your unique wishes, beliefs, and values.

• You may be looking to blend thetraditions of varying backgrounds or religions with your personal style and your spirituality, in whatever manner you feel fit. For instance, I have performed many Catholic-Lutheran weddings (where one party was Catholic, the other Lutheran, and they wished to honor both traditions), Christian-Jewish weddings (including Catholic-Jewish). Couples usually wish to find those elements that are the same in both faiths, and then that's the part we emphasize, but then include also traditions from each faith, and explain what they mean, and the mix can work really well. Additionally, I have written and performed many wedding ceremonies for couples where one party was raised with a religious background, but the other party is spiritual, but not necessarily religious. Whatevever your background, we will make sure that your wedding reflects and honors your beliefs.
