As a Justice of the Peace (Town of Fayston) and as a minister of the Universal Life Church, I have been officating at weddings  and civili unions for over a decade. I have the blessing of ordained ministers in the Vermont Conference of the United Church of Christ.

.

Sometimes weddings are a huge event, sometimes just the three of us. Mostly outside. Mostly secular. But I have done prayers in English, Sanscrit, and Hebrew. I love helping couples write their own ceremonies. Holliday and I have compiled and printd out copies of a book of about 40 wedding ceremonies in which we have been involved. I view it as a ministry to help people find the right blend of words, music, and ceremony that expresses their spirituality as they join together. Therefore, I charge two dollars and try to spend some time with the family and friends of the bride and groom.

.

In this era of electronic publishing, this site will soon- I hope- have some of the information and sample ceremonies from our book.
