Joseph Anthony Burnett
Ordained Minister in Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
To help couples who cannot or do not want to be married in a traditional church setting but prefers to be married in a setting of their own choice. Often times a back yard, near a lake, near a scenic overview or a hospital, and even a nursing home.
Where are you from?
Originally from Brooklyn NY. Moved to MN and AZ. I am an expert in the following religions, Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, and Jewish religions. I have studied in all of the church's and understand the teachings, practices, and dogma doctrine of most others.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to have a 100% success rate in the couples that I marry. I often council both parties to completely love each other and accept the others faults. To not make the same mistakes that many others including myself. To give them an experts experience and opinion of a well known fact. the grass is never greener on the other side of the fence. God love's us and your higher power is your own will and determination to make this marriage work and be successful and loving all the days to death do they part.
Religious Affiliations

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Eden Prairie, MN wedding officiant?
I believe I have a full understanding of the seriousness of the wedding and the full meaning and scope of the wedding promises and vows that each party is taken. I have a 100% rating from all former clients, and not one couple has been divorced since my ministry started. I get both parties and witness and loved ones to promise me that they will work harder than any other couple, family member or friend to keep these two people together for the rest of their lives.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I have traveled the entire state of Minnesota and Arizona. There isn't anywhere I haven't been.

Additional Information
My services are professional and can be lengthened or shortened depending on the special and specific needs of the family. In one case a couple had been together for 50 years but never married. There was medical conditions that required the marriage ceremony to be completed in minutes vs. a 40 minute wedding process. The spouse died the evening of the wedding but the couple achieved the marriage that they always wanted but never achieved.
