Congratulations
for finding the
love of your life!
A wedding ceremony
is a proclamation
to family and friends
of a unique relationship,
that of sharing life
and mutually gifting
one another with love.
Having performed almost four hundred ceremonies, I can draw upon my
experience to help you plan your own unique ceremony and offer ideas and suggestions. And
be forewarned! I believe weddings should be a joyous and fun-filled event; I
do not have a serious or somber personality!
You may have your wedding at any location. You also compose your own ceremony, choosing
not only the music you want, but also vows, prayers, blessings, readings - even the type
of sermon you want (if you want one!). If you are divorced Roman Catholic, an annulment is
not needed.

Both you and your fiancée are embarking

There will be shoals and rapids and unforeseen winds
which will challenge your relationship!
Learn how to face these challenges together!
Father Steve also offers couples counseling
after the wedding. Details at the bottom
of the Premarriage Classes page.
Set you hearts on the greater gifts.
I will show you the way which surpasses all the others.
If I speak with human tongues - and angelic as well -
but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge,
comprehend all mysteries,
if I have faith great enough to move mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give everything I have to feed the poor
and hand over my body to be burned,
but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is not jealous,
it does not put on airs,
it is not snobbish.
Love is never rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over injuries.
Love does not rejoice in what is wrong,
but rejoices with the truth.
There is no limit to love's forbearance,
to its trust, its hope, its power to endure.
Love never fails.
(1 Corinthians 12:31-13:8)
