Erick Paul Smith
Ordained Minister in Missouri City, Texas
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
To assist those that cannot afford a wedding venue with today's prices. I allow a smaller, more intriguing weddings, usually at the homes of those wanting my services. Many of my friends decided at the 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries to have a "Vow Renewal" and this I offer for you.
Where are you from?
I have lived at many places around the world and the US during my civilian and military careers.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to offer an "alternative" to those charging high prices. Most people are first timers, in their 20's or 30's and want something simple, which I offer.
