Billie-joe Husted
Ordained Minister in Keokuk, Iowa
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I fell in love with Norman Rockwell when I was 14 years old. The well-known American illustrator of The Saturday Evening Post's work is timeless. Norman Rockwell's work translates perfectly every important emotion, feeling or thought. The vast subject's of his work depicts such a variety of life events. I decided then, I wanted to help people express themselves during life events. Specifically the two most challenging events our weddings and funerals. My initial pursuit began with Mortuary Science, Funeral Directing, and Grief Therapy, serving for over 15 years. I am very privileged to have helped many folks in those delicate life processes. To be chosen to express other's feelings aloud is a great honor. One must convey many things in these life events. Rarely does an Officiant Event repeat itself. The details, specifics, and intentions of one's expressions are very delicate. I can deliver these emotional messages to your loved ones. Guiding your public event, we can make life moments into timeless memories.

GOD IS IN YOUR HEART
IT'S A PERSONAL THING
In high school A girlfriend of mine and I decided to attend every Church denomination in our little town. Every Sunday we'd go to a different style of church. I never did specifically choose. I might not put as much importance on a specific belief. It's important to believe. What a person believes is very private, personal, and intimate relationship. That is none of my business.
I have participated in many denominations of religions ceremonies in the funeral industry.
I view a marriage of two individuals as the most important date that they shall ever be upon with each other. The focus should only be on them they should only focus on each other. The spectators are just lucky to spectate and share the special day!
Any other ceremony we could specify it to whatever you would like!
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Keokuk, IA wedding officiant?
A wedding is a very important ceremony between two people. I try to make it their special day. Reflecting a very smooth, confident, and positive attitude is very important in a "one take" event. Flexibility and understanding mean a lot on an important day as a wedding or funeral ceremony. Special individual requests are very welcome. It's your special day.
I can say out loud what you want heard.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I'm uncomfortable about putting a price on this type of service. I don't believe it should be a big part of a person's budget and this kind of event. I would just suggest to have travel expenses and then tip whatever you would deem related to the job served. I am located 5 minutes from Iowa , Illinois and Missouri. I have also practiced in Colorado . In my area there are creative options for life events to be held. I am very accommodating to the visions of others.

Additional Information
I believe that people are not tied as closely to religion as in the past. It is the message in your heart that is important. Individual expression is important to focus on. An ordained individual can accommodate any religion or situation. I have found that many people don't go to a regular church or have a regular religious representative for their events. I would like to offer myself as a representative religious or other.
