"It is rewarding
to participate both in the planning and the celebration of marriage services. The pastor is unique in his/her position of
getting to know couples and has an already built-in relation of trust simply through the pastoral role. Couples are anxious
to meet with the pastor and to begin the process of planning. They sometimes approach the initial meeting with uneasiness,
not knowing what to expect, yet with a sense of anticipation as they look forward to getting the process underway. Often lasting
relationships are formed between the pastor and the couple, and I have found that couples truly treasure this special bond."
