Ordained Minister & Wedding Officiant
A minister of the open heart, the open road, and the open door.
For many years, Reverend Ruth has answered a simple, joyful calling: to stand with two people in the moment they become one family. Ordained and legally authorized to perform marriages throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky, she has officiated ceremonies on mountaintops and courthouse steps, in rose gardens and living rooms, beneath spring blossoms and under autumn skies.
What she brings to every wedding is the same: genuine warmth, a calming presence, and a deep belief that love....in all its beautiful forms....is worth celebrating well.
Reverend Ruth believes that the sacred work of marriage belongs to everyone. She proudly and lovingly officiates same-sex weddings, interfaith unions, and ceremonies for couples of every background and belief. The rainbow she wears is not decoration....it is a promise.
And when life moves fast, she moves with it. Last-minute weddings, elopements, and "we decided this morning" celebrations are among her very favorite kinds of days. If you need to be married soon, reach out....chances are, she can help.
From the bluegrass to the foothills of Appalachia, Reverend Ruth travels gladly to be where you are. She takes the time to learn your story, to honor your traditions, and to craft a ceremony that sounds and feels like the two of you....whether that means scripture and solemn vows or laughter, poetry, and a few happy tears.
