Frequently Asked Questions
Signing License
WHAT IS YOUR SERVICE LIKE?
YOUR wishes will determine the nature and content and length of the wedding ceremony. I will provide you with a detailed outline, suggestions and choices for each segment. With full respect for your thoughts and personalities, I (or we together) will custom write the ceremony.

WE'RE FROM OUT OF TOWN. WILL YOU HELP US ATTAIN OUR WEDDING GOALS?
Yes! Visit the
Destination Wedding Page for more details.

WHAT ABOUT DIFFERENT RELIGIONS AND CULTURES?
The wedding is at its best when it is respectful of the individual beliefs and cultures of the bridal couple and their families. I am a recently retired ordained Minister and am familiar with most denominations and cultures. The wedding can be a non-denominational or a civil ceremony.

CAN WE INCLUDE OUR CHILDREN AND/OR FAMILY MEMBERS?
By all means! I will offer numerous suggestions that you could consider to include children and/or family members present and loved ones who have passed away.

CAN WE MEET IN PERSON BEFORE THE WEDDING?
While it is not required on my part, it is ideal to meet in person. We can meet at your convenience in my church office, your home, a local coffee shop or the wedding location.


CAN YOU HELP US WITH OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE?
I am pleased to tell you that the County Clerk has given me the unique status to completely take care of all legal requirements for you. If it is your wish that I do this, I can pre-pay your license fee, prepare and notarize the license and bring it to the wedding ready for your signatures. At the wedding, you will receive a copy of the license and a form to order your certified copy of the original that I will have filed with the County Clerk. This means you will not be required to personally go to the County Clerk's Office. If it is your preference to personally purchase your license, I will advise you of the procedure.


WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
My fee is $250. plus the license fees, if applicable. There are no additional fees for consultations.
