In more than 30 years of my pastoral ministry, this ceremony has been said to be the most memorable wedding ceremony. In the numerous weddings I have performed, I have received more compliments, experienced more "ah has", and had more fun performing this ceremony. I am writing this book because every bride should have an unforgettable wedding. I have given the contents of this book to men and women who have officiated weddings across this land, and around the world. Just the other day a man sent me a request on Facebook for a digital copy. In this book you will find four sections: Wedding Interviews, Pre-Marital Counsel, Wedding Preparations, and Wedding Ceremonies. In this book there are Three Wedding Ceremonies for you to choose from. They are completely written out, with blanks that allow you to fill in the names of the bride, groom, and the name of any person who may help you perform the wedding. In this book are many secrets that I have learned over the years. You may choose to use these ideas, or not. They are here for your consideration. I hope these thoughts are useful. Have a great Wedding!
