Shaun Anderson
Ordained Minister in Hanover, Maryland
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became ordained when a close friend asked me to officiate their non-traditional wedding. I loved the idea of helping make such an important moment feel personal, meaningful, and true to who they were as a couple. Since then, officiating has been an incredibly positive experience, especially working with couples who may not have a traditional religious affiliation but still want a ceremony that feels special, intentional, and uniquely theirs.
