I am on "The Knot's" HONOR ROLL for continuous quality service for many years.9 One sample of many recent testimonials: "Reverend Mel was the first officiate we spoke to, but kinda wasted our time seeing 3 others, we chose Rev Mel. His openness to our wishes with our unique wedding (we wanted a blend of humorous and serious) was refreshing without judgment, offering suggestions. Even though our wedding was an hour late due to late arrivals, he didn't blink and actually helped us stay composed and uplifted. Special guy, that Rev. Mel. Thank you. Amanda and Jim" Free for the asking: SAMPLE WEDDING CEREMONIES and VOW SAMPLES. Your vows can be selected from hundreds of sample vows I provide you, or not; or use portions from which you can cut, copy and paste to your desire to make them unique FOR YOU, or if you have your own vows, perfect! Some couples want personal vows spoken to each other within other ceremonial vows, as well. Terrific! I had the honor of officiating for couples of all faiths or none... If you love each other, God doesn't care 😉, let's get you married. If you want the most simple of "signing papers and the required solemnization" and lowest cost, come see me. All you need is a valid WA or Oregon Wedding license for the state you are getting married and 1 witness (I can provide 1) if near my home, otherwise you must have 2, even for elopements. I do not require pre-marriage counseling. $145 -$180 For a "traditional" wedding ceremony: Sample vows include spiritual, traditional, secular, religious, heartfelt, humorous, handfasting or a blending (your decision always)...again it is YOUR choice. $245 and up depending on distance from Cathlamet WA PLEASE NOTE: You must have at least 2 witnesses.

If you are a Hockey Fan or just a romantic, you can see Rev. Mel officiating a unusual wedding ceremony before 10,837 plus "guests", at center ice during the Portland Winterhawks Hockey game, right after the Teddy Bear Toss.
