My Passion
Becoming an Ordained Minister all started with my own wedding to my wonderful husband, Warren. Both of us had been married before so we wanted to keep things simple, yet, it was important to us that it still be memorable and "something special" that we would cherish forever. We both felt that going to the town hall, for us, was impersonal so we called a local officiant and were married in our home, with a beautiful, intimate ceremony on New Year's Eve with our children and family around us. Exactly what we wanted! I wrote our ceremony because it was important to both of us that our love be represented and how grateful we are to have found each other and how blessed we were to have this newly blended family.
Warren and I both have children from our first marriage. Warren has three children and I have two. Sadly, I lost my 18-year-old son, Nicholas, in 2014. As the struggles of his passing are daily, the love of all our children keeps me going, and being able to perform wedding ceremonies gives me so much joy and a huge purpose to get up with a smile every day!! We also have two fur-babies, Baylee-Boo (Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix) and Lexi-Loo (Chocolate Lab/Border Collie mix). We adopted Baylee in February 2013 while we were still in New Jersey and Lexi, we rescued in December 2017 while we were living in New Mexico. The two of them are spoiled rotten and trouble together, but we wouldn't change a thing.
