 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 Ceremony quickie vows-only ceremony or a Comedy Ceremony.

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. If you can get an Alabama marriage license, I can officiate.

Check My Availability...

Please visit the Officiaiting Availability Form to check if I can have the honor of officiating your ceremony. I will respond by email and let you know if I am available or not. If I am and you want to book me to perform your ceremony, I will ask you to fill-out the Booking Officiating Form, which is how I mange my schedule.

If I'm not available, I may know one or two other ministers who may be. Thanks!
