As a wedding officiant, what makes my ceremonies special is connection. It is my duty to listen and learn; to discover what not only the connection of this couple to each other is, but also to their community, family & friends- this is how I am able to personalize, customize a ceremony specifically for them. Every detail counts! Every couple is unique and therefore so should be their ceremony.
