Justice of the Peace

Hello everyone.

My Justice of the Peace commission in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has expired, and I have not sought to renew. Although I enjoyed serving the people of the Commonwealth very much over the seven years I worked as a Justice of the Peace, I purposefully yield to give another this great opportunity.

I would be happy to recommend other officiants for your wedding, including -

Wedding Minister Andrew - theweddingminister@gmail.com
Justice of the Peace Melinda Drew - Melinda.Drew.JP@gmail.com
Justice of the Peace Jacqueline Dias - Forever and a Day Weddings - andadayweddings@aol.com

Welcome to Massachusetts Marriages and Weddings

What else do I do about changing my name?

How do we announce our wedding in the New York Times?

Find the answers to these questions and other great information in in the ARCHIVES (bottom, right) of this weblog!

Congratulations on Your Marriage!

Many of my clients seeking services of a Justice of the Peace also are at a time in their lives when legal counsel is needed for everything from review and negotiation of wedding event contracts, to the purchase of a new home, to the preparation of a new last will and testament.

My wife and I met David when we were looking for a Justice
of the Peace,and we found him to be accommodating,
professional and very caring.

Then when we needed an attorney for the purchase of our
new home, we already knew David, and we enjoyed working
together with him again. David was a great attorney for
us, and he worked hard to make sure our interests were
protected.

Spending time getting to know David while working on
our wedding made us feel comfortable hiring him as our
family attorney.  By being so helpful with our wedding,
we felt that he was a person we could trust.

After the wedding, we felt it was time to have wills and health care proxies prepared for each of us.

We contacted David about the New Family Estate Planning package available from his law office, and he sent our estate planning questionnaire and fee agreement to us over email. The process couldn’t have been easier as David came to our home for three meetings, to interview us and explain the documents to us, and for the document signing ceremony.

We introduced married friends of ours to David, and David’s office got their estate planning documents together so promptly that we were able to be each others witnesses!

Great service! Thank you!

Create Your Own Ceremony with Free Downloadable Wedding Ceremony Models

Quicklink to Downloadable Model Wedding Ceremonies

I first began providing written ceremonies in a manipulable format via email as a courtesy for my client couples, as I felt couples had a right to review and approve what was going to be said at their wedding ceremony.

As my wedding officiant client process has evolved to include this weblog, I have decided to provide my clients and prospective clients with the opportunity to download and begin producing their own ceremonies directly from this website. Also, working with one document can be a productive approach when organizing the different persons, elements and language involved in any wedding ceremony.

Absolutely every element of these wedding ceremonies is open to change, your review, or could be reconfigured to match your preference. Please feel free to cut and paste using these documents as the starting draft of your own final wedding ceremony.

You may be interested to add in everything from your own family names, your own wedding poetry, the names and passages for your guest readers, your own vows, your unity ceremony stage direction, or whatever you like.

Please find links below to a downloadable assortment of model wedding ceremonies, that may be useful to you as a starting point to develop your own ceremony (Microsoft Word format).

"David, We Just Want a Legal Marriage ..."

Many of my clients seek the services of a Justice of the peace not for a large wedding ceremony, but for a small one.

I’m very happy to do as little or as much ceremony for your wedding as you prefer, and I am available to meet privately for your legal marriage.

Some couples prefer to have only traditional vows, some prefer only vows and a brief poem, and some couples like an entire ceremony with a ring exchange. I officiate at events with only the bride and groom, and sometimes with only the bride, groom, and a photographer.

All that is legally required is that:

1. you both understand that you are engaging in a wedding,

2. you both freely agree, and

3. that your officiant declares by which authority he/she pronounces you wed.

I have done weddings as modest as a conversation at a coffee shop table (three times), but in my experience, many small weddings “grow” into smaller events.

I look forward to working with you.
