Ordained Minister in Vacaville, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Back in 2019, a couple of good friends asked me to play a special role in their wedding. Inspired by their trust and our close bond, I decided to become an ordained minister through getordained.org. My wife and I had been there for them throughout their engagement, so it felt incredibly special to craft and deliver a heartfelt officiant speech on their big day.
I approach each wedding with the same passion and commitment, aiming to create a ceremony that truly reflects the couple's personality and journey. I'm here to help you tell your story, ensuring that every word of your ceremony holds a meaningful place in your hearts for years to come.
