    A shorter, but Christ-centered, wedding ceremony that I perform for most couples I unite in marriage.

    NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Many ministers prefer to take the opportunity of performing a wedding, and give a full blown sermon. I personally feel that is uncalled for in this situation. I believe that this is the bride and groom’s day, not the preacher’s - so with that in mind, I keep it simple and ...read more
