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 and am invovled in a
non-traditional online and house church ministry,
called Apostles
Fellowship, but my religious
background is diverse. 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
 My ministry goes
back to the 1980's when I was invovled in
itinerary evangelism, revivial speaking, and
seminary, with the Seventh-day
Adventist church, and in
the 1990's I served as pastor
with churches in South Carolina and Alabama.
In 2000 I went through a divorce (yes...I
understand!) and my ministry shifted to
chaplaincy, and I
became Baptist, and have
worked with Southern Baptist Convention and
Cooperative Baptist
Fellowship.
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.
