Steven Ratto
Ordained Minister in Mahwah, New Jersey
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I sought my ordination in order to perform the wedding ceremony of my nephew and his betrothed. They were perfect for each other. I was happy that they had found each other and when they asked me to marry them, I had to say YES! The experience brought me such joy! To be a significant part of the process of bringing two people, two hearts and two souls together in a joyous union is truly moving. I would love to experience that again.
Where are you from?
I am from the tri-state area all my life. I am living in northern New Jersey currently, in the town of Mahwah.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
It is my desire to continue achieving the fulfillment I received from performing wedding ceremonies.
