About

We are a husband-and-wife team - so you have a choice of a male or female officiant - depending on availability. (Although Rev. Dave tends to conduct 70-75% first-time brides and Rev. Rox performs about the same number in second-time brides.)

Our services include Rehearsal Coordination, either working with your coordinator or organizing and running the Rehearsal from the Seating of the Mothers to the Pronouncement and Receiving Line. We provide Rehearsal Buttons to the bridal party. (This helps us identify the members of the family and party.) With the Bride and Groom, we like to review "The Kiss" and Ring Exchange. Photographers appreciate that we take the time to go through that extra effort for better photos.

And, of course, one of us will be there to officiant your special day. We come prepared with our Wedding Day Emergency Kit and handheld fans for your guests of outside weddings.  For your ceremony, you can choose one of over 20 different wedding ceremony rituals, including the Unity Candle, Sand Ceremony, Vows involving Children, Lasso, Coin and Veil or Smudging.

Contact us to set up an appointment and we hope that you "Let me be the one to marry you..."

Yes
 
Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?
Rev. Rox: Our primary locations are non-religious sites: parks, home, hotels and other wedding venues.
 
Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?
Rev. Dave: As long as the wording is good for "mixed" company, we are very flexible in the wording of your ceremony. You should feel comfortable with all parts of your ceremony.
 
Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?
Rev. Rox: Couples can write their own vows or use vows from our Ceremony Selections Packet.
 
Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?
Rev. Dave: If you book our services, we will give you our packet of Ceremony Selections, which will help you create your dream ceremony. You may choose selections from our packet, edit them to your liking or bring in other selections that you may have seen or heard at another wedding.
 
Do you require that premarital counseling be done?
Rev. Rox: Our area of expertise are weddings and rehearsals. We don't require premarital counseling. If you would like premarital counseling, we can refer you to several professionals.
 
Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?
Rev. Dave: While we don't require a rehearsal, we almost insist upon one. Rox or I try to be at every rehearsal as we find that 80-90% of mis-cues could have been fixed at the Rehearsal. Rev. Rox: Your ceremony is a public statement of your commitment. You don't want it look unorganized. Rev. Dave: If Rox runs your rehearsal, be sure to ask her who Pep? is...and don't make him mad.

Additional Questions and Answers

What don’t you do?
Rev. Rox:
I don’t sacrifice anything, because I don’t cook. I don’t jump out of anything because I don’t fly and I don’t perform ceremonies naked because after two babies, this body isn’t for display.

Rev. David: I would agree with the sacrifice, but i’m willing to jump out of an airplane! We will wear Hawaiian or Renaissance attire for theme-weddings. We also reserve the right to review the ceremony for content. If it doesn’t belong in mixed company, then it probably doesn’t belong in a wedding.

Do I need a blood test?
Rev. Rox:
As of January 1, 1995, a blood test is no longer needed to obtain a marriage license.

Should I provide you with a corsage/boutonniere?
Rev. David:
It's not necessary. Some couples do give us a corsage or boutonniere to wear since we are in a lot of your wedding photos.

Rev. Rox: And we save the flowers we receive. We dry them and add them to our "wedding wreath".

Where do I get a marriage license?
Rev. David:
A couple can pick one up at the county clerk's office. Here's a list of county clerk's offices for Northern California.
