Why choose an online wedding?
Legal
Our online ceremony is the same one we use when officiating weddings at venues and covers the same five elements necessary for a marriage to be legal:
- Minister authorized to perform a marriage.
- The couple has a valid marriage license.
- Statement of intent and desire to marry (vows), made in front of witnesses and minister.
- Pronouncement of marriage.
- Completed marriage license returned for recording.
The only difference is performing the ceremony and observing the signatures online rather than in person.

About Always Forever
Since becoming ordained in 2004 I’ve had the privilege of officiating very large weddings and very small intimate weddings. Selecting your type of wedding is a personal choice and it’s been my experience that there’s no wrong choice.
One common theme I noticed was the stress that builds up during the course of coordinating the couple’s special day. The cost involved in months of:
- Planning
- Securing a venue
- Renting tuxedos and dresses
adds to the stress leading up to the service.
Countless times I’ve heard “Let’s get the service over, the license signed and then we can start to relax”.
I noticed there weren’t any “Weddings Made Easy” options and decided to launch our Always Forever online wedding service to fill the void.
Our AlwaysForever mission statement is “Do Everything in Love” 1 Corinthians 16:14. My belief is that “No humanities are more tender, and no other vows more sacred than the vows of matrimony”.
The power of Love I’ve seen in the eyes of the bride and groom during the ceremony is pure, unconditional and real.
