Love is such a miracle! Two hearts, two lives unite in expression of One Love. Celebrate your union with a beautiful wedding ceremony, full of joy and meaning!

I’m an ordained interfaith minister and also a certified life-cycle celebrant. This means I have had extra training in the theory, forms and creation of all types of ceremonies.

Do you want a purely civil ceremony? I’ll create a beautiful one that will reflect your individual style.

Would you rather have a religious ceremony? The flavor of any faith – Christian, Jewish, Wiccan, or whatever else it may be – can be integrated into your ritual.

Do you consider yourselves spiritual, but have no current ties to any specific faith? I can help you create a ceremony filled with sacred feeling.

And if you come from two different faiths or cultural backgrounds, all the more fun, as we select and blend elements from the many resources I have available.

Family and friends can always be included in your ceremony, too.

Methodist Ministers in New York, Connecticut to Defy Church, Marry Gay, Lesbian Couples

Monday, October 17th, 2011

A group of over 800 United Methodists in New York and Connecticut today announced their intention to make weddings available to all people, gay and straight, in spite of their denomination’s ban on gay marriage.

The announcement marks the kick-off of a project called We do! Methodists Living Marriage Equality. In an unprecedented move in any major religious denomination, We do! is not only bypassing the formal rules of the church, but also reaching out directly to LGBT groups in New York and Connecticut to let them know about the new network. This morning the group published a list of all its members: clergy members who will perform weddings for gay couples, lay members of the denomination who support them, and congregations who have adopted policies to formally make weddings available to all couples.

“We refuse to discriminate against any of God’s children and pledge to make marriage equality a lived reality within the New York Annual Conference, regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression,” the group declared in statement called A Covenant of Conscience and signed by 162 clergy members, 721 lay people and six entire congregations.
