In my nearly 25 years of being the wedding officiant of choice in Barrie, I've always felt honored when I hear all the reasons the hundreds of couples I have married liked me, and were not only glad they had chosen to exchange vows in front of me, but also went on to recommend me to friends who were getting married. It was heartwarming to hear words like personable and warm. And I was proud that they thought of me as detailed, thorough, professional, and well-organized. Some descriptions like spontaneous and humorous made me chuckle, but the one that made me stop and think was flexible. How could I not be flexible? Weren't all wedding officiants flexible, but then I realized, no, maybe they're not all flexible. Maybe very few are.

Some officiants, by their very calling, only perform a marriage ceremony steeped in their own faith. And then there's the matter of availability. There are certain times of the year when it's downright difficult to book the date and time a couple has their hearts set on. Having pondered these, I held myself up for measure. And you know what I must say? I am flexible, very flexible! Yes, I am registered as a Baptist minister, but that doesn't limit me to any one type of wedding, Christian, non-denominational, traditional, non traditional, just say the word. And if perchance, you're looking for a Baptist wedding ceremony, you can have that too.

And since vows and traditions are integral to weddings, let's talk about them too.The way I feel about them both is that it's your wedding, not mine. Feel free to write your own vows, or bring ones you heard at someone else's wedding. And if you find vows you like on the internet, I have no problem with those either. As for incorporating old traditions into your ceremony, again it's your wedding and it's your very special day. So whether it's a special song you'd like played, a poem you have written, special remembrances of a family member who has passed away, these are the things which mark the day as unique and belonging to the two of you. So feel free to start your own tradition. Make it an experience that will live not only in your memories but in those of all your guests.

So yes if you're looking for a flexible wedding officiant near me (you) in Barrie, you have found her. And if you'd like to find out more about what other couples think of me and the wedding ceremonies we have created together, I invite you to visit my website.
