It can be a daunting task to choose the person to preside at your wedding ceremony. How do
you choose? What do you look for?
A genuine Minister, or a so called "ordained wedding officiant?"
On your wedding day, when you're standing before family and friends, facing each other for
the most important event in your lives, you WILL be nervous! At that moment, the wedding
officiant you want is someone you trust and feel good about. The wedding ceremony is such
a powerful and deeply personal event. When you and your fiancé are in front of all your
family and friends, standing face to face and gazing only into each other's eyes, about to
share the most powerful and intimate vows you will ever share, you are experiencing a
moment of matchless emotion. In such a sacred moment, the person presiding makes all the
difference.
The versatile wedding Minister is a human relations professional, trained in ministry as well
as officiating. Professional wedding Ministers have advanced training. A wedding Minister
is trained to effectively handle all variety of people and situations, particularly in high-
emotion, highly-charged contexts (like your wedding ceremony or even wedding rehearsal)
where feelings are often intensified and vulnerable. The effective wedding Minister not only
officiates your wedding ceremony but is sensitive and responsive to the emotional climate
that can make or break your wedding ceremony.
There is no substitute for Experience, to bring assurance to brides and grooms that they’re
in good hands. Safe. I bring 29 years of experience to your wedding.
As an experienced Minister, you will find me to be clear, usually concise, nothing left to
chance, detailed and organized. You will find me to be calm and unflappable, sensitive to
feelings, a true wedding Minister who works for solutions that everybody can be happy with,
an enthusiastic Minister, not dry or boring, but engaging and bringing energy and life to the
ceremony.
I enjoy people and enjoy performing wedding ceremonies-- the magic, the romance, the tears
of joy, the laughter, the life, the power of the moment. Most of all, the celebration of love.
Your wedding ceremony is the most powerful and important event in your life. To be your
Minister on such an occasion is both exhilarating and humbling. I WOULD BE HONORED to
be the one who pronounces you husband and wife at your wedding ceremony ! It would be
my high privilege to introduce you to your adoring family and friends following that
memorable wedding ceremony kiss!
And it is always my hope that my couples will think of me as their friend and stay in touch and
let me know how things are going. And I hope that somewhere down the road when the need
for a Minister comes up again, they will call on me, as a Minister they know and trust.
An economical wedding officiant may save you money but lack experience or the skills of a
trained professional Minister. The Minister saves you worry but always costs more. As with
anything else you get what you pay for.
Think about it. A wedding officiant can make or break your ceremony. An uncaring or
unprofessional officiant can sometimes spoil the whole day. Even so, when it comes to
finding an officiant, most couples simply focus on two things:
– Are you available on our date?
– How much is your fee?
Regarding the issue of price, keep your perspective. Think about the total cost of your
wedding ... if you save $100 on your officiant by shopping around, how significant will that
be? Not all officiants are created equal.
No two wedding ceremonies are quite the same. What works in one wedding ceremony can
be most inappropriate in another. As a wedding Minister, knowing when to speak and when
to remain silent, what to say and do (or not do) to nurture the moment -- YOUR moment -- is
the product of preparation, sensitivity, awareness, discernment, timing, intuitive
understanding, and knowing your people.
Officiating weddings is more than reciting words and making pronouncements. Weddings are
about people. And the experience and professional Ministry training in dealing with a variety
of people -- wedding couples, families, future in-laws,-- particularly at a time of such
heightened feelings as a wedding, is essential to the success of your wedding. Weddings
are, in fact, moments of CRISIS (mostly positive crisis, happily) that demand special pastoral
sensitivity and intuition from your Minister.
I do not require counseling and I am sometimes available for last minute ceremonies.
My philosophy is that every couple should be able to have the wedding of their dreams,
whatever that may be. I try to do whatever I can to help each couple have their wedding the
way they want it.
So whether your wedding is elegant or casual, formal or informal, church or backyard
wedding, or whether it is your first or second marriage, If I may be of service, please contact
me to reserve your date!
I would LOVE to help you create the wedding day of your dreams! It would be an honor to be
your friend and -- as both friend and Minister -- to perform your ceremony.
Please don't put off calling if you're at all interested. There's NOTHING more difficult or
heartbreaking than having to tell a bride her date is no longer available (I don't even want to
THINK about that!).
For any level of service, great or small, please contact me, Ric Justiss. I do not preach or
lecture on religion uninvited. My manner with people is simply caring, calming and
comforting. I will remain focused on assisting by providing as much service, advice or
guidance as desired
Best wishes and, again, congratulations on your engagement!!
Sincerely,
Ric Justiss, Dallas Wedding Minister
