On Saturday, January 16th, I performed the marriage ceremony of Cindy-Jo Schloer and Nathan Rundhaug at your Studio. As a retired Judge, I am available for weddings at almost any time.
I would appreciate being listed on your Vendor’s List. Retired Judge Ed Cass is on your Vendor’s List. I worked with Ed for 30 years at the Courthouse in Stillwater. Ed moved to Cape Cod in 2014. Ed refers me the couples who contact him.
At http://www.tgarmstrong.com there are over 350 pages in the Ceremony Library divided into 22 categories, such as Vows, Ring Exchanges, Readings, Pronouncements, Welcomes, Prayers, etc. Each couple can choose selections, and also add their own ideas and wording from other sources, so that every ceremony I perform is unique.
I am listed with The Knot.com, Wedding Wire, and other Internet sites.
