Well Turkey day is over and the end of the year is near. Remember, we do have a chapel available in our office and can have you married as soon as you get your marriage license. I think I heard that the court house was backed up until January. So if you want that wedding before the end of the year, give us a call. Take a look at our main page and chapel page for details. We also officiate weddings of any size at the location of your choice.
As we talk to couples while planning their wedding, we always mention to make your ceremony the way you want it. Make it memorable for you, the bride and groom. I recently found an interesting news article about a couple who did just that. Take a look and see how they enjoyed their new beginning.

Ever wonder if your officiant is legit? Assumed that your minister at your church can perform your wedding? In some States, being an ordained minister is enough but each State has their own rules. Here in Ohio, all ministers who solemize marriages (or plan to) are licensed by the Ohio Secretary of State. Each minister receives a license after presenting their ordination paperwork for verification. Once your minister has a license, they are (or should be) presentable on demand. Our licenses are at our office and we offer this for viewing to every bride and groom that walks in. At ceremonies outside our office, we take the license with us so it may be viewed by those who may question the validity of the marriage we are to perform. You can also check the Ohio Secretary of State’s website to see if your minister has a valid license. (Go to our links page on our website.) Moral to the story, if your not sure, ask.
After performing many wedding ceremonies. We have found that when you write your own vows for your wedding ceremony makes the wedding special, more intimate for the bride and groom. There are those who like the “repeat after me” vows and that is OK as sometimes nervousness takes over and writing your own vows may not workout. But as you observe the bride and groom speak their most intimate words of love that they have written from the heart, it makes that wedding one to remember. Many people ask, “what should we say if we write our vows?”. I can only say this, draw from your past, look to your future, what makes you complete…..write from the heart. You will know what to say.
