pastor is literally "front and center" at your wedding, and will shape many of the feelings of the occasion.  Select a wedding pastor after asking:<div><br /></div><div>Who can help us have the wedding we've envisioned?</div><div>Who can carry out our ceremony in a thoughtful, not sentimental or stodgy, manner?</div><div>Who can custom-build their remarks to reflect who we are as individuals and as a couple?</div><div>Who can be a friend to us for life and not just perform a ceremony, but nurture our marriage?</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

is part of God's plan for our very best.  A healthy marriage involves two healthy people deciding to "do life together."  Together we can be what we could never be separately.<div><br /></div><div>Dave has devoted his life to helping people live the life that Jesus described - "life at its best."  Having nurtured hundreds of marriages, Dave distilled some of his insights into a one-hour DVD called "Relational Readiness."  This complimentary DVD has corresponding fill-in-the-blank notes so that a couple can watch and discuss the material together.</div><div><br /></div><div>Relational Readiness discusses....</div><div><br /></div><div>The basis of every good marriage</div><div>The difference between belonging to someone and belonging with someone</div><div>Three compatabilities required for harmony</div><div>The difference between and A-shaped relationship and an M-shaped relationship</div><div>Healthy roles for husbands and wives</div><div><br /></div><div>A couple is provided a copy of Relational Readiness when they meet with Dave to discuss their wedding plans.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

takes personal interest in the bride and groom.  Dave tailors his remarks to their stories and helps them have "their" wedding.  Dave brings spiritual and relational insights to the ceremony, but never in a preachy manner.  People of all faiths (or none) enjoy Dave's practicality and relevance.  <div><br /></div><div>Dave likes to meet with bride and groom once prior to the wedding in order to learn more about the couple and to discuss the ceremony.  Dave can also provide premarital counseling upon request.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dave will attend the rehearsal, if needed, and be at the wedding site one-half hour prior to the ceremony.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
