Welcome Dear Couples and Congratulations!! I am an Ordained Interfaith/Intercultural Minister and Wedding Officiant and I am pleased to be able to spend this time with you. You have chosen to embark on an incredibly creative, loving and growth-filled path called marriage! Your marriage will be unique to you, reflecting who you are and what you bring to it. Your ceremony is the opening of the door and the first step on your wedded journey. It is a declaration of your love as well as an expression of your individuality. It is truly the heart and foundation of the day. As you stand before your Officiant, and take your vows, something very blessed, very ancient, but very new is occurring. The Officiant you choose plays an important role in this special moment, contributing uplifting energy, creativity, inspiration and blessings to it. I see each wedding ceremony as an opportunity to do just that offering my heartfelt joy and excitement. No matter how many weddings I have done, each one is a fresh and new experience, and each couple unique and special. I listen closely to what you want and work diligently to craft a ceremony that reflects your one of a kind relationship and love. You may speak with others about performing your ceremony but I hope we work together. It would be a privilege for me to be the Officiant who ushers you across the threshold to married life. dianeshughes@earthlink.net 917-428-0849 212-787-5544
