Not religious but spiritual? Would you like to have a traditional wedding ceremony filled with wonderfully creative ideas and memorable moments? Allow an official nondenominational minister/pastor/reverend conduct your wedding ceremony. It will be delivered by a proficient liberal minister who has an interfaith and chaplain background plus a masters degree! Along the way if you need marital counseling I have masters in counseling and pastoral/spiritual care... I can offer support, guidance, and encouragement throughout your discerning process. Also available for child dedications, baptisms, christening, home blessings, business blessing, funerals and spiritual advisement and direction, etc.
