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!

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