Hey guys, I am SO sorry that this pandemic is affecting your big day! I totally understand that everyone is scared and hesitant to travel but it totally sucks for you guys who spent so much time planning this special day!! Regardless, I love that you still want to get married on your anniversary, and I can totally ordain for you guys. When I am the officient, I usually do an entirely couple-run ceremony: you guys saying your vows, you guys exchanging your rings, you guys doing any unity symbols you wanted to include, and then I say my one legal line and then pronounce you married and you kiss!! That way I’m able to photograph everything and still make it legal haha! Because I don’t really do much, I definitely don’t charge for my ordaining services! Just anything I can do for my couples to make their day easier is enough for me! I put together some timelines for a 2 hour day of coverage and a 4 hour day of coverage so you can see how the day might flow! I also attached a few locations at the bottom that would be great!
