"We believe wholeheartedly in marriage.  We believe in sacred partnership.  We believe in “soul-mates.”  We believe in the equality of the genders, and seek to promote in every way we can, equal partnerships.

"We believe that marriage is a sacred commitment made between two people 
— and the Creator — before they come to us with their wedding plans.  Our job, as ministers, is to provide a joyous, meaningful ceremony to help them publicly proclaim and celebrate their commitment — with the blessings of the State, their witnesses, and the implicit blessings of the Creator.

"We believe that a commitment to marriage that is made in love — and with the sincere intent to nurture and care for each other — is already sacred in the eyes of the Creator.  We welcome all who come to us in that spirit, including those who are concerned about the blessings of a religious institution because of divorce or expecting a child.

"We welcome couples who have experienced divorce.  We do not regard this as a failure, but rather as an experience that can teach and strengthen personal and relationship values, if it is understood in that way.  We are honored to officiate at the marriage of couples who have healed and grown through past relationship experiences; who have found a level of sacred commitment that they wish to acknowledge.

“We also welcome couples who are blending families, or who have already had a child, or children, together.  We believe that children are always a blessing, and our ceremonies honor them as a joyous responsibility of true marriage commitment.  Such acknowledgment truly deepens the respect between families and enriches the marriage which joins them."
