Weddings are not a just a business for us.... its our ministry. Every time we officiate at a wedding ceremony we are awed by the extraordinary energy that becomes available when two people in love literally step up to commit themselves to this sacred union.
Although many of us have attended traditional weddings, in churches, synagogues and temples, in recent years we have seen the emergence of a new type of wedding, where couples marry outside of a formal house of worship in places such as parks, beaches or private homes. They often opt for ceremonies that are non traditional, personal and unique. Whether they include religious traditions or not.... most every couple wants their ceremony to be sacred.
Reverend John started Indiana Wedding Ministries a few years ago to service the needs of these people searching for alternatives to marrying in the church, who may have no local church that they attend or are from different religious backgrounds.
All weddings ceremonies have a rhythm, and a life, of their own. The energy comes alive as the bride makes her walk to the altar and builds like a symphony with each segment of the ceremony. By the time vows are exchange, it is as if the heavens open to rain love upon the gathering. Couples can seize the opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings.
