Fun facts!

  • It really is a small world after all. In 2009 I married people from all over the globe: Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, England, Eritrea, Ghana, Greece, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, India, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Portugal and Turkey.
  • Most popular names for my brides in 2009: It was a 5-way tie: Andrea, Claire, Jessica, Kelly and Nikki (3 each). For 2009 grooms it was Robert (5), Jason and Michael (4 each). For 2010, the most popular names for my brides so far are Kimberly (4), Dana and Heather (3 each) followed by Erin, Jessica, Kelly, Lisa and Pamela (2 each). For grooms, it's Michael (5), John (4), Paul and Joseph (3 each), then Nicholas, Ryan, Thomas, Christopher and Frank (2 each).
  • Ricky and Lucy were the names of the goldfish in the Unity Fishes Ceremony I performed in the gazebo at the The Breakers On The Ocean in Spring Lake
  • Double-take! In 2009 4 grooms had twin brothers and 1 bride had a twin sister. Fortunately, none of them pulled any pranks on me.
  • Over the past 3 years, 6 of my brides were already pregnant when I performed their ceremony.
  • Couples are really mixing up their bridal parties. One bride had her brother as her Man-of-Honor. Grooms have had close girl "friends" as their Best Women and brides have had guys as Bridesmen. Another bride had the groom's mother as her Matron-of-Honor. Many of my 2nd marriage couples have their children from previous marriages as their bridal parties. Brides have been given away by their mothers, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, friends and others.
