As an evangelical church minister, I have officiated 5000+ beach weddings and vow renewals along Gulf Coast Alabama, Mississippi, Northwest Florida, and in 2010 was featured on ABC Good Morning America, Fox News, and the Christian Television Network.

In that year I officiated a Valentines Day mass wedding vow renewal at Lulu’s at Homeport restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Guinness Book of World Records people were on hand as we were attempting to break a world record and we would have if the Ohio University Alumni Association didn’t try the same thing on the same day.

We ended up with close to 600 couples, but little did we know that on that same day, Valentine Day 2010, on the Ohio University campus 1200 alumni couples successfully won the prize as the largest mass vow renewal ceremony.

At one time I also owned a wedding a chapel in Mobile, Alabama, so between the chapel and the beaches I would officiate as much as 300+ ceremonies a year.

While I still get inquirers about officiating beach weddings, I am unable to because of my chaplaincy work. I have given my chaplain roles my full attention and am no longer able to schedule weddings into my calendar.
