I am an ordained minister and registered to conduct weddings in the State of Louisiana. I offer standard and customized / specialized ceremonies, according to the wishes of the couple. I prefer to make each ceremony special and representative of the love, commitment, personal preferences and background of the couple. The occasion should demonstrate how they feel toward each other, reflect the reasons they love each other and bring emphasis to what is important in their union.Also, I conduct a Life Partner Commitment Ceremony. This ceremony may appeal to Gay couples who also wish to clearly state their love, affection and commitment. For them, at this time - in this state, this is an option. This ceremony has no legal standing, but is a public affirmation of the feelings of both partners. A beautiful certificate (similar to a wedding certificate) will be signed and provided to the couple at the completion of the ceremony along with an audiotape of the proceedings. Nearly all of the locations noted elsewhere on my website for marriage are suitable as a location for celebration of Life Partner Commitment ceremonies.
