Our Story...
Her Story
Watching all these weddings taking place in 2013 has been truly cathartic. Despite Bakersfield's conservative image, same-gender couples are being married, and more importantly, being legally recognized both statewide and locally. We have said for more than ten years, "love wins," and surely it has. I am proud, as the former chair of Bakersfield LGBTQ and just as a citizen of Bakersfield, to see my hometown embracing this wonderful change.
Her Story
I have been an ordained minister since July 4, 2004.
My wife and I have been married since June 17, 2008. We organized the weddings that took place on that day in Kern County with some help from friends and Bakersfield LGBTQ.
It was a fabulous day, with lights, cameras, action, brides, grooms and lots of LOVE. By far one of the most special days of our lives.
On July 1, 2013 I donated my services to couples that wanted to get married in Kern County. I happily and with honor married six couples and enjoyed every minute of it.
Since then I have married many more.
Some of their pictures appear on this website. Every wedding, every bride and every groom is a delightful honor to me. I know how special our wedding was and I want each couple I marry to feel as incredible as we did.
