With the power vested in me..

I have to admit, I have never blogged before but think that it will be fun and easy. I figured I would blog about what I am doing this weekend which is also a career of mine. I am a Reverend in the state of Ohio and can legally marry couples. This all started last year when two of my best friends asked me if I would become ordained and marry them. It was a complete honor for me to be asked to do such a job and decided to carry on my "Reverend" responsibilities and do more weddings. This Saturday I am going to be the Reverend at another couple who I've known for many years. The wedding is going to be on the beach of Lake Erie and I can't wait. Sometimes I get nervous that I might screw up by skipping a line in the vows or by not sounding strong in my words, but I tell myself that these are people that expect me to 'play a role' on one of the biggest days of their lives and I need to make sure I do that. Practice makes perfect.. so does confidence! So wish me luck, and pray that it does not rain!

  1. This is such a cool thing to be able to do. Do you do perform ceremonies often, or just to your friends and family?

  2. That's so awesome! It's definitely something you really don't hear a lot of people doing, but I think it makes a wedding more personal and special for you and your loved ones. Hope all went well with the wedding!
