- Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Pastor Ed is the type of Pastor that will take the time to invest his time into you and your future spouses relationship, so that not only will you have a beautiful wedding day, but a beautiful marriage. Pastor Ed is will bring meaning to your ceremony, and will take the time to hear what is special to you and your fiancé, so that your ceremony is what you have always dreamed it would be.
- What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Pastor Ed had my husband and I face the audience during the ceremony so that they saw his back instead of ours. It made our guests more involved in the process.
- How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? He allowed us to add some other minister friends into the mix of the ceremony so that we could include everyone that was special to us, and the special cultural elements that were important to our families. We also were able to add a family dedication at the end.
