Late Summer Wedding - Hong & Servet's Love Shines!
Wedding in Columbus, Ohio! Hong and Servet asked me to be their officiant at Franklin Park Conservatory after I had the honor of marrying their friends at Scioto Reserve! I never get tired of marrying brides and grooms. Each ceremony is different - each relationship, like a fingerprint! The love and energy that each bride brings to her groom, and groom to his bride, is unique. I must say at times it is awe-inspiring, and warms my heart in a way unlike anything else. I believe it also is a reminder of my own marriage, and the love that Jean and I share that continues even through the many challenges we have faced in life for the past 30-plus years. This love relationship that husbands and wives share is one of the great mysteries of our existence. For this reason, it is something to celebrate! Therefore, I want each wedding to feel so special and unique to each couple, so that they will remember their day with the utmost joy.
In this first photo Hong and Servet share some humor, laughter, and smiles!
This next shot shows Hong walking the aisle as she approaches her groom in the Brides Garden at Franklin Park. This location is a favorite at the Conservatory, especially for smaller, outdoor weddings.
Their wedding kiss! Hong and Servet share their kiss as they have been pronounced husband and wife before their family and friends. What could be more cool?
The happy couple, now husband and wife, walk the aisle arm in arm, ready to face the future together in the embrace of their undying love. Gotta love this!

Wedding Officiant for Darlene & Don at Jorgensen Farms near Columbus Ohio
Darlene and Don enjoy a special moment on their wedding day in Greater Columbus Ohio. They needed an officiant and had a friend call me first. Their friend explained how they wanted a simple, yet intimate and meaningful ceremony at Jorgensen Farms in Westerville. The bride and groom scheduled a meeting with me at our office and we began to design their personalized ceremony on the spot.
As you can see in this second photo we were having a lot of fun and enjoyed a great rapport.
You may kiss the bride!
Darlene is filled with excitement and expectation, and feels happy and satisfied as the newly married bride!
Now I take care of the marriage license. We want to make sure their marriage is legally recognized.
Here the sun shines through above us as I stand with this happy couple. I like to think of it as a "good omen" for their future!
I really like this country-style wedding sign with the candles. I felt it was a very nice touch!
