Giving Excuses for
Honeymoons Since 1990!
If you're looking for a
wedding officiant for your Mobile, Biloxi, Orange Beach,
Perdido Key, Fort Morgan, or Gulf Shores, Alabama
area wedding, ask me about a simple, yet
meaningful, ceremony.
I may be able to help, if
you're looking for an ordained minister that
is laid-back, easy to work with, dependable,
helpful, flexible, unobtrusive, and
who doesn't require pre-marriage
counseling.
As you may know, most
minister's require you to be a member of their
church or to jump through those hoops of exploring
the past, digging up buried bones, and putting you
though lectures on bla, bla, bla, bla....but I'm
guessing you're not looking to get
married by the Pope or Billy Graham, you just
want the dignity of a minister to add an
authentic touch to the moment, while being real,
with a dash of humor, and
fun!
Ministry
Overview...
I'm
Baptist -
but not the hell-fire and brimstone kind - I have
been a local church pastor, an
itinerary evangelist, and most recently, a
hospital chaplain. In 2008 I answered a new
calling to a ministry of merry
medicine and
chaplain care for
the workforce, corporate executives, and
celebrities. Although, I have recently added house
church pastor to my ministry: Apostles Fellowship.
My religious background is
diverse and includes ministry with Adventist,
Baptist, and non-denominational
churches.
I grew-up a Yankee
Catholic,
and am the only family member to become
Protestant, after a miracle conversion
experience. As a child and student at
Sts. Cyrils and Methodious School, I felt a
calling to the priesthood, but only until the
calling to the girl across the classroom felt
stronger
It was while working as a
hospital chaplain that I began to receive requests
to officiate weddings for couples coming to the
beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama.
I had to put up this web
site to help curtail the phone calls that were
interrupting my patient
visits!
Miscellaneous
Stuff...
I will gladly add, change, or use your script
for your ceremony, although most couples go with
my Traditional Ceremony,
which is not too long, not a Baptist
revival nor a Roman Catholic mass, it's
a nice blend of
spiritual and romantic, but not an over-kill on
either.
You can always ask me about
a quickie
vows-only ceremony or a Comedy
Ceremony.
I come to your location of
choice, rather than asking you to come to my spot
on the beach, I'll go to where it is
convienant for you. Out back of your condo, hotel,
beach house, or at any of the public access area,
is usually the best spot, but there are some
public access areas that are just as
great.
Everyone on the beach
respects a wedding and if you are down at a
busy time, you'll hear a loud applause when the
groom kisses the bride. If it is a rainy day,
which is not that often and usually passes
guickly, but
if it is a rare bad rain day, there are a few
public gazebos that have done well for couples in
the past.
I do not require pre-maritial
counseling. I do not require any specific church
or faith affiliation, nor do I care if you have
been married 6 times before, been living together
for 32 years, or are soon to be the next octo-mom.
I have no objections to officiating for couples
of mixed-denominations, mixed-race, or
mixed-up minds. I f you can get an Alabama
marriage license, I can officiate.
