Howdy folks,
I have been a licensed minister for about three years now. I have pretty much avoided fulfilling my ministerial duties ever since for various reasons. Work, and family primarily.
Until today that is.
My friend Kirk called me today and asked if i would be around, and if i could meet up with him and his girlfriend Anna. I agreed, and we ended up having coffee. We started with the usual chit chat...And then he lowered the boom!
He asked me if i would be wiling to perform an impromptu wedding service. The had all the paperwork, the license, the rings, and the witnesses.
After all the players were assembled, i went to work. I never cared much for over produced ceremonies. I personally would prefer a vegas wedding to a big church shindig.
But i must say for a small hastily planned event. It was great. My spchiel was simple. The traditional holy matrimony stuff, but a little more streamlined, suited to the couple, the pronouncement of matrimony, and then the kiss.
I admit that i was scared to death at first, but in retrospect, i think have a newly found respect for the whole tradition of matrimony.
Thanks for reading,
