Geneva
Ordained Minister in Dubois, Wyoming
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to celebrate their love in a way that feels authentic to them. Whether that means a traditional ceremony, something completely unconventional, or just a few heartfelt words between two people, I wanted to be able to help make those moments happen. Love doesn’t have to follow a particular tradition to be meaningful.
Where are you from?
I’m currently based in the beautiful mountains of Wyoming. When I’m not officiating weddings, I work as a cook, which means I spend a lot of my time bringing people together through good food. I enjoy a good laugh, meaningful conversations, and helping people make memories worth keeping.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My goal is simple: to help people celebrate love, commitment, and the lives they’re building together. I want couples to feel comfortable being themselves, regardless of their beliefs, backgrounds, or identities. Whether a ceremony lasts five minutes or fifty, I hope to make it something they’ll look back on with happiness. A wedding should reflect the people getting married, not the expectations of everyone else.
Religious Affiliations
None
Additional Information
I am ordained through the Universal Life Church and Dudeism, and my approach to ministry is inclusive and non-denominational. While I have my own personal spiritual beliefs, I don’t believe those should dictate anyone else’s ceremony. I’m equally happy to officiate a secular celebration or incorporate religious and spiritual traditions that are important to the people involved. My role is to honor your beliefs, not impose mine.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Dubois, WY wedding officiant?
I believe a ceremony should reflect the people it’s celebrating, not follow a script just because it’s traditional. I prefer keeping things personal, meaningful, and relatively short and sweet. Whether you want something heartfelt, humorous, traditional, or completely unconventional, I’m happy to help make it yours. Love is worth celebrating, and I think the best ceremonies leave people smiling.

Additional Information
