Spain Wedding September 2018
A great sermon, perfect length and good fun. Also made nice references to marriage and what it means to be part of the wedding ceremony.A great sermon, perfect length and good fun. Also made nice references to marriage and what it means to be part of the wedding ceremony.Divine Services Dot Org's reply:
The ceremony was SO MUCH FUN - and your guests expressed SO MUCH GRATITUDE and one even gave me a 20€ tip - for me as well and caused me to decide that yours would not be last I did, at 79 years of age, but that I would continue for as long as God enabled me. I arrived expecting a DEAD END (NO NOT THE ROAD!) but instead in my 20 years as a Wedding Celebrant, it was a TURNING POINT. I had just started the service with the approval of the Novios and best man, at a wedding a few years back at Venta La Chata, when the Best Man leaned forward and said to me, there's a bus with 37 guests on board that has not arrived, I asked the Novios if I should continue or START AGAIN after the bus had arrived, and they chose the latter. I explained to the assembled guests that they 2 options: a) go back to the bar; or b) I'd tell a few jokes. Nobody moved so I began. 38 minutes later the guests arrived and I had still not run out of off-the-cuff jokes, so the Ceremony began again. At the Wedding Breakfast, the Wedding Planner said the Best Man in his toast to the newlyweds said "Unfortunately Bishop Clive was incapacitated today so he sent a comedian from Benidorm instead!! -

I would thoroughly recommend Clive as your wedding Officiant.
Clive's confidence and experience made the ceremony a smoothly run, well thought out and happy occasion.
Clive conducted a professional service which was loved by all our guests. We hadn't informed guests that we had been married the week previous in England and for all intent and purposes the ceremony Clive conducted in Spain was the legally binding service. We had witnesses sign his certificate. We had vows, we exchanged rings, everything ran perfectly. Clive even entertained our guests while they waited for me (the bride) to arrive with his wit and loving humor.
Thank you again to Clive and his wife Ann for all their hard work and communication in the lead up to the big day.

Flexible, adaptable, gracious, and a great sense of humor -- all important aspect to consider when planning a wedding in a foreign country -- we had a wonderful and memorial wedding ceremony that we will take with us through eternity.

You were a delightful couple. I often wonder how well the video turned out that you shot from a fixed tripod on the day. We've recently had couples from New York, Houston and Australia fly in for a Divine Service and we try hard to please - and THANKS for saying we did. Our Christmas greetings to you and Denise. -
