My title is 'Reverend' ...

but I would much rather you just call me "Jay". I am a seminary ordained minister who semi-retired six years ago after 24 years of a full time career in the local church.

Now I have the great honor of serving as a full time wedding officiant for couples and families in one of the most important and happy windows of their lives; their wedding day here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It's who I am; It's what I do; and I love it! The image above captured me in a suit, but I'm usually wearing linen pants and a linen shirt, barefoot on the beach serving couples as they promise "I do".

"Kim" and I were married 20 years ago near the beach in Florida, and we have been blessed with "Summer" who is our 8 years old and full of fun. Summer and “Kahuna” (our golden retriever) can't wait to get up every day and head for the beach. We've lived in some beautiful places (Florida, Colorado), but doing life here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina is going to be hard to beat. We feel soooooo blessed to be living the dream here on this big sandbar. It's just flat out awesome.

Feel free to call 252 216 6676 or email me jay@yourOBXwedding.com with any questions and thoughts you may have about your special day.
