I almost forgot, I received my new Clergy tartan kilt recently. It's wonderful. I cannot wait to wear it for Kendra and Ben's wedding. As well as my next wedding ceremony.

A Prayer for Peace
O Great Spirit of ourAncestors, I raise
my pipe to you.
To your messengers the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides
for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each
other so that they may grow with peace in mind.
Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth.
Peace,
Minister Dave
Danielle and Kurt
I am working on a handfasting ceremony for my sister Danielle and friend Kurt. I'm happy to see these two together.
I was asked to do their handfasting at the Northern California Rennaissnce Faire are Casa de Fruta on opening weekend. I am honored to have been chosen.
They have given me some ideas and things they want in the ceremony so I am currently writing something for them.
It'll be a nice ceremony.

Frank and Anita's Wedding
Well, I should have posted awhile ago but I got busy and it slipped my mind.
The wedding was interesting to say the least.
After a nice drive to OR I arrived at their house and headed over to the resort we were staying at. We got settled into the houses and waited for people to start arriving.
The weekend was spent with lots of friends and making of new ones.
The actual wedding day was spent with me running around helping Frank and Anita get things done and get people where they needed to be. Then it was off to the hall for the ceremony.
We started the wedding off the normal way, groomsman and bridesmaids walking down. Then when it came to Anita's turn to walk I looked up and shouted "Anna Theresa Maria de Roover, Come on down!"
This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the ceremony. We laughed and joked and made the ceremony fun. As serious as ceremonies can be we wanted this to be light and memorable. Of course the actual ceremony was nice. It could have been read as a serious piece and been somber and tearful but with the playfulness of it the contrast worked out.
We had a group of friends, The Belles of Bedlam (www.bellesofbedlam.com), perform a 50's do-wop love song song set. The brides maids danced and one of the groomsman and I pulled out our dart guns and started shooting Dan.
At the end of the ceremony when I tell the bride and groom they can kiss, Jack (the groomsman) , Andria, Rhian (bridesmaids) and I all pulled out dart guns and started shooting the happy couple.
Cocktails and then dinner and dancing followed right after.
I got a lot of compliments on the ceremony. My favorites were the ones that said, "That was a nice ceremony even if it was a bit unorthodoxed."
All in all it was my favorite wedding so far and I was very happy and pleased to be a part of it.
