The most popular service in Pastor Jack's repertoire, and similar to most other officiants' "custom" ceremonies. Consider this service if you desire a ceremony including traditional elements such as readings, blessings, and a unity rite. They can be religious or secular in nature.

There is no limit to the size of your bridal party or the number of guests you have in attendance. These ceremonies can be held at any location you choose. You may select up to three readings from any source, choose or compose your own vows, and incorporate a unity rite into your ceremony. Readings can be presented by friends, family members, or Pastor Jack.

You may also choose and opening (invocation) and closing (benediction) blessing. These can be prayers, poems, or short readings, and are meant to set the tone or wrap up the event. Many are listed here. The greeting, invocation, rite of marriage, unity rite, benediction, and pronouncement of marriage are presented by Pastor Jack.

If you wish, Pastor Jack can proof read your original vows and/or your program for you.
