I am an ordained Christian minister, in Locust NC, retired pastor, marriage and family counselor, and retired educator who performs weddings for those who desire a Christian wedding and offers counseling for couples both premarital and during marriage. As weddings exemplify the Divine relationship between God’s children and His Son Jesus Christ who forgave our sins on Calvary, and awaits us in Glory as our Heavenly Bridegroom and we His Bride, my prayer is that you will present yourselves to the world as a picture of Christ and His Church, and acknowledge His Grace, Mercy, & Forgiveness, which awaits all who confess Him as Lord & Saviour
Weddings:
I will help you make your wedding day special with a creative and spiritual service, asking God to bless your future.
I will assist you in building your dreams and hopes through a motivational and encouraging service for a lifetime together as husband and wife.
Bilingual
I also offer pre-marital and marriage counseling upon request.
I will also assist you in designing and writing personal vows, that are legally, morally, and scripturally approved, or you may choose to use traditional ones.
Weddings are a blessed event, and it is my goal and desire to perform a ceremony that will be fulfilling, meaningful, and inspiring. I have performed numerous and varied weddings and counseling experiences. I have performed several weddings over the years and have been contacted numerous times via Thumbtack, etc.
From the very beginning of our initial meeting to the hugs at the end of the night, I will strive to ensure that every detail of your wedding vows is personal, perfect, timeless, enthralling & memorable.
At times, my lovely wife of 25+ years, Phyllis, accompanies me and offers comfort and an understanding shoulder for female patrons.
I have incorporated several ceremonials, including unity candle, unity sand, unity cross, plant/tree, three cord rope, hand fasting, butterfly release, jumping the broom, letter box, coin/cord/veil, blessing stones, canvas painting, spice blend, couple's/mother's roses, and other ceremonials.
