Kara Petrillo
Ordained Minister in Lewistown, Pennsylvania
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I’ve always loved the beauty of weddings, the romance, and the meaning behind two people choosing to spend their lives together. Becoming ordained gives me the opportunity to be part of one of the most special moments in someone’s life. Whether it’s marrying friends and family or meeting new couples and helping them create a ceremony that feels personal and meaningful to them, I love the idea of being part of their love story. For me, it’s about more than just saying a few words and signing paperwork. It’s about celebrating love, creating memories, and helping two people begin their forever together. And if I can turn something I genuinely love into something I can do for others, that’s even more special.
