William Ware
Ordained Minister in Parma, Ohio
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I had long thought about getting ordained so I could help people who can't go to organized religion for various reasons, but the final push came from my wife's niece who asked me to perform her marriage. She ended up passing away from cancer before she could get married, but every service I perform, I think of her.
Where are you from?
Northeast Ohio. I've lived in Cleveland or it's suburbs my whole life.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to help people who are looking for services they can't get from more mainstream religious sources, whether they just aren't comfortable there or if they've been ostracized because of who they are. I'm here to help.
Religious Affiliations

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Parma, OH wedding officiant?
I sit down with the couple ahead of time to discuss and customize exactly what kind of service they want. It's their special day, and my job is to make it as happy as I can. I take that very seriously.
