About
Life experience has taught me that a sense of humor can overcome many tense situations and especially with nervous grooms.
By taking a relaxed and flexible approach to ceremonies, I aim to make ceremonies a happy and positive experience for all those involved.
My advice to the couple I have the honor to marry is to forget about their guests and focus on each other, and the reason they are standing with me, to begin a loving journey and maybe some new adventure with that special person.

Hi Amanda
There are quite a number of marriages with no bridal party or I have officiated marriages where the `Maid of Honour' was a male friend of the bride and also bridal parties with an odd number of attendants.
Go with your `gut' and have whoever you are comfortable with, it could be an aunt, your daughter or sister. You dont have to give anyone the title of `Maid of Honour`.
The most important is that you and your soon to be husband are both comfortable with your bridal party.
Just relax and enjoy your day.
Laurel
