Pastor Mary Kaye Ashley, Joyful Marriage
About
I am a Lutheran pastor, interested in serving couples interested in Christian weddings, (but with LOTS of customizing options). I am trained to do premarital counseling, and have been helping couples, including GLBT couples, to begin joyful marriages, for about 25 years. Ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, but willing to speak with and to anyone wanting to honor God in their wedding & life.
I love working with couples! We'll start with a free meeting, after which you can decide if you want to work with me, (don't think I've ever decided there's a couple I didn't want to work with)
