Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I originally became an ordained minister because I felt a deep calling to serve others and provide guidance during the most meaningful moments of their lives. For me, ministry was never just about holding a title, it was about offering compassion, encouragement, and a sense of peace to people during times of joy, struggle, and transition. I wanted to create a safe space where others could feel heard, valued, and supported, while also honoring their individual beliefs and journeys. Becoming ordained gave me the opportunity to officially step into that role, to unite people in love through ceremonies, and to bring comfort and hope through words and actions that come from the heart.

Where are you from?

Seguin, Texas

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

With my online ordination, I hope to reach and serve people beyond the limits of location, creating meaningful connections with individuals and communities wherever they may be. My goal is to provide inclusive, personalized ceremonies and spiritual support that honor diverse beliefs, traditions, and life stories. I want to make it easier for people to find an officiant who truly listens and understands their needs. Whether for weddings, vow renewals, memorials, or other milestones. Without the barriers of geography or strict denominational boundaries. Ultimately, I hope my online ordination allows me to share compassion, encouragement, and joy in a way that touches more lives and fosters a sense of unity and belonging.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Seguin, TX wedding officiant?

What makes my ceremonies special as a wedding officiant is the level of personal attention and heartfelt care I put into every detail. I take the time to truly get to know each couple; their story, their values, their personalities, and weave those elements into a ceremony that feels genuine, unique, and deeply meaningful to them. I strive to create an atmosphere where guests feel connected, where love is celebrated in a way that reflects the couple’s vision, and where every word spoken carries intention. My goal is for couples to look back on their ceremony not as a formality, but as one of the most memorable and joyful moments of their lives, crafted specifically for them.
