Sam
Ordained Minister in Shoreview, Minnesota
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
originally became an ordained minister over 10 years ago out of curiosity, but I quickly discovered a deep joy in marrying friends and their partners. In this day and age, being able to perform same-sex marriages is a profound honor for me as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I love being a part of love—no matter who you are or where you come from.
Where are you from?
I'm originally from Minnesota. But have lived all over central and southern US.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Champion inclusivity, remove the stress and provide a grounding presence, bridge the gap in honoring traditions you may want while remaining authentic to the couple, celebrate the human connection.
Ultimately, I want to leave every wedding knowing that the ceremony wasn't just a legal requirement, but a true reflection of the love story that brought everyone together.
