What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Traverse City, MI wedding officiant?
I spent eight years in Catholic seminary preparing for Roman Catholic Priesthood. I decided not to be ordained because I wanted a family, and have been happily married now for forty years. I have an actual Master of Divinity degree from Catholic University, and gained a lot of practical liturgical and pastoral experience while in seminary.
