About this website

This website is about what brings me joy

I am about to enter a new chapter in my life called retirement. Retirement does not mean doing nothing, rather it means doing something about which I am passionate. 

I have always asked myself in my executive leadership roles, do I belong, and do I make a difference.

Creating this website as a resource allows me to work from home, a place where I truly belong. This is because of our marriage and the family that we have created. It is my happy place.

Will sharing my life experience and insights make a difference? If I did not believe that it will, I would write about something else.

The main reason for this website is that it brings me joy. I truly believe your wedding, and your marriage will be an amazing experience and life journey. It is my privilege, in some small way, to contribute to your your story.


Bringing about this website is based on my experience as a wedding officiant

I have had the privilege of officiating at many weddings. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the joy of relationship, and the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of beautiful people.

I always tried to capture the hearts, personalities, and desires of the couple; and to find resources to construct a wedding ceremony that would be a reflection of their individual and shared lives. This was sometimes challenging.

There were only pre-packaged, prescribed, routine resources. I wanted to give the couple choices; choices in the selection of every element that comprises a wedding ceremony. In doing so, I developed several options for each element of the ceremony. It is my delight to share these options with you.

I am a creative person, or at least I like to think I am. This website gives me an opportunity to share with you ideas and thoughts, with the hopes that they will generate creativity and imagination in you.

I am grateful that you have taken the time to explore the pages within ourweddingguide.com

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding,

David
