Testimonials
1--My husband, Ray, grew up with Mary Howell's children so when we
decided to get married we were elated to find out that she could marry us. We
had a beautiful outdoor wedding at our home Aug. 25, 1990. Then when our
youngest son, Matthew, proposed to his gorlfriend, Rachel, he refused to have
anyone else perform his ceremony----they became Mary's "1st"  second
generation marriage and, if God is willing, she'll be around to marry our
grandcnildren, thereby going into a "3rd" generation of one family. Ray and I
have been married now over 16 years and we feel the longevity of our marriage is
due to Mary being our Officiant. God is always with us and, hopefully, you
can be blessed to be  married by her.

Julie's wedding. It was everything she dreamed of and

God bless you!.

pleased that you could do such a wonderful job on such short

determined to go with him. Again, thank you.

inspirational. You have such warmth and compassion and
yet a sense of humor. You made us laugh when we felt
like crying.

14---I thought our wedding was ruined when my flower
girl  threw such a tantrum and everyone was so touched
when you paused and gently picked her up to soothe her.
When she calmed down you proceeded with our ceremony
as if we had never been interrupted. It was amazing how
smoothly everything went after that. You have a way with
everyone that is simply beautiful. You're worth far more
than you actually charge!
              Thank you!    Debbie Robins
