Wow! You're getting married! 

That's great!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Hi, my name is Pastor Dean and I live in one of the most beautiful places to have a wedding – greater Tampa Bay, Florida.

In case you doubt this statement, Here is a line from a recent email that I received. "We are all from Minnesota so we will all just be happy to be by the ocean and not have to shovel a path in the snow to create the aisle." There are great pictures of wedding venues on my main website.

The question has been popped, the answer was “Yes!”.  Your wedding is coming and will be here before you know it.  Now you’re looking for someone to help make your ceremony special and unforgettable.  I would love to help you do just that.  

I have had the joy of assisting hundreds of couples on their wedding day  since I was ordained in 1975.  I have officiated weddings in many settings: in churches that I pastored, in historical churches, in resort hotels, on military bases, in scenic parks, in homes, and on beaches.  I always consider it a great honor to be part of a couple’s wedding day.

While I do not require premarital counseling, I do highly value your input when planning your wedding ceremony. I would love to work together with you to make your wedding a memory that you will look back at with fondness and delight.   If I officiate your ceremony, I promise that it will be personal, meaningful, professional, and special.

After telling a groom to be that I wasn't available to officiate his wedding, he just sent me the following email: "I am sorry to hear that you are unavailable, you are highly recommended all over the web".  Please don’t wait, many couples have and were disappointed to discover that I was not available on their special day.  I hope to hear from you soon.
