We were so blessed to have Pastor Michael join our lives together on September 22nd! Every word spoken reflected his commitment to making this day ours and a memory for a lifetime. He had listened to our hearts and crafted a ceremony that reflected our faith, our commitment to each other and to our families. Our ceremony revolved around the true joining of the “clans” and Pastor Michael helped us incorporate all of the Irish and Scottish traditions along with the special scriptures we had requested. We literally “tied the knot” with the tartan ribbons of each clan! We also had the special treat of having our son and daughter-in-law renew their vows at the end of our ceremony. Pastor Michael helped us make this a truly generational wedding for all in attendance! Our hearts are full of praise for a day that was perfect in every way!

My wife and I are from Louisiana. We knew planning for a wedding out of state would be difficult, but planning it during COVID-19 had me kissing my hair goodbye. The only thing that did not change from our original wedding plans was our pastor.

Being from Louisiana, both of our meetings with Pastor Michael had to be over the computer. As soon as we met him, we knew we had hit the lotto. The guy is just so nice and relatable and figured out a way to have us express things about each other (and ourselves) that we would probably not have said otherwise.

When the day of the wedding finally came, we quickly realized that the home we were having it at was impossible to find. Everyone was lost. The caterer, guests, everybody. When Pastor Michael arrived, it was show time as soon as he stepped out of the car (no fault of his own). He literally had to walk from his car to where we were about to make this commitment. My guy did not waver, he did not say he needed a minute. He walked right up and CRUSHED this wedding. Everyone was crying. I was crying so ugly, it was a mess. A man who had only spoken with us twice over a computer managed to treat us like we were some of his closest friends. It was by far the best wedding sermon I’ve ever heard.

Before he left, he told my family and I that he “did marriages, not weddings” and explained that if there was ever anything that we needed guidance through, he would be there no questions asked. I can’t speak for any other pastors in Colorado, but if you are still looking, save yourself some stress and get Pastor Michael. You won’t regret it.

Thank you God for putting this man in our plans! He made everything easier, more beautiful, peaceful, and relaxed. He went above and beyond to help us prepare for and later deliver our ceremony. We are not from Colorado but wanted to elope there and still have a Christian ceremony. Pastor Michael was a clear choice and responded quickly. Our first interview was a video call and we knew immediately afterwards that he was our man. He walked us through everything we needed to know and took great care to get to know us and help us understand what we wanted from the ceremony. He stayed in touch with us all the way through the day of the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Pastor Michael did so much more for us than just deliver some kind words. He walked the bride down the "aisle". He personalized the ceremony in a beautiful way for our story as a couple. English is not the bride's first language but his kind manner and clear voice made her day feel incredibly natural. I highly recommend Pastor Michael!
