Curtis Newport
Ordained Minister in Hamilton, Virginia
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became ordained, as I was asked to perform a ceremony for a close friend. I am very down to Earth, and I like to have a relaxed, fun time. I would love to meet with you to see if you think my personality would add to your special day!
Where are you from?
I am originially from Southern California, and have lived in Northern Virginia since 2005.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
When my wife and I were married in 1995, we were not members of any church. We were unable to find a minister who would perform our ceremnoy if we had not attended church. We were unwilling to "just go to the JP". We ultimately found somebody we liked, but it felt a little bit weird going to church a few times "just for that". If I can help other couples have a smooth experience with a minimum of awkwardness, then that's one less thing that the couple has to worry about. If I can step up in an emergency to help somebody out as a last minute option in a pinch, that's good, too.
