David officiated my daughter's wedding on

Martha - married on 09/24/2011

 

Composed and competent

David officiated my wedding in September 2011. It was a custom pagan handfasting that still spoke to the universality of love for our families of mostly Christian backgrounds. The ceremony was very meaningful and David was a composed and competent minister that helped make the day even more special!
