Linda L Zukowski
Ordained Minister in Crab Orchard, Tennessee
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained in order to disrupt the main flow of toxic beliefs that seem to have spread throughout our country. I believe in loving who you love, treating everyone with kindness, doing what you can for the poor, elderly, and needy, and not judging anyone else on how they choose to worship or which religion (if any) they follow. A path of servitude and kindness is what is right.
Where are you from?
I grew up in Iowa, but have lived all over the United States. I am now living in Tennessee, which is a beautiful place to live.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My hope is to help people celebrate their joyful unions, be they religious weddings or hand fastings. I have studied different religions and am capable of performing all types of weddings and commitment ceremonies. I also am capable of end of life ceremonies, be they a wake or a formal funeral. I specialize in unique and non-traditional weddings, whether your idea of unique is simply marrying same sex couples who wish to have a formal commitment, or a Startrek themed wedding, I am that officiant who will learn the rituals and dress for your specific theme. I believe each union should be as unique as the couples joining together.
Religious Affiliations
Universal Life Church
Additional Information
I am a follower of Jesus teachings. For me, his path is my path. I am not, however, a main stream Christian. I have followed many beliefs, and have worked them into one path for myself, including some Buddhism, Native American Spirituality, New Age Spiritualism, and a dash of several other belief systems. I believe that no one religion is right, but the main teachings of nearly all of them are love, kindness, and helping your fellow man.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Crab Orchard, TN wedding officiant?
I can not only perform a traditional wedding ceremony, but I take great joy in performing themed weddings. I can dress as a red shirt Startrek member or a Lord of the Rings wizard. Need a vampire officiant for your twilight themed wedding, here I am. Your wedding should be the event of the year, let me help make it that!
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am located in the middle of Tennessee, about 1 hour west of Knoxville.
