» Ordained Minister Brings Vegas Flair To Themed Weddings In Arizona
By Duane Williams | Published 10/30/2008 | Marriage | Unrated
What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas anymore – at least not when it comes to the Vegas-style weddings officiated by Reverend Duane Williams through A Classic Wedding Legacy. After more than two decades of performing weddings in Nevada, this ordained Minister is now a Phoenix wedding Pastor and wedding planner bringing Vegas flair to themed Arizona weddings ranging from Western and Hawaiian, to Pirates and King Arthur’s Court.

“I performed weddings in every venue imaginable,” says Pastor Duane of his time in Vegas, including Red Rock National Park, the Grand Canyon, Harley Davidson Café, Madam Tussauds Wax Museum and “Star Trek” aboard the Enterprise. “I even performed the worlds’ first ‘Hot Tub’ wedding in a limousine which was featured in the National Enquirer.” Now this Arizona wedding Pastor is bringing the same sense of adventure and playfulness to the Phoenix wedding scene.

It’s here in Arizona that Pastor Duane opened A Classic Wedding Legacy, through which he offers themed wedding packages that include:

* Traditional. Enter the bonds and unity of marriage in traditional tux and gown with “We are assembled here today in the presence of God and this company of witnesses now in attendance to celebrate the joining together of this man and this woman…”

* Liturgical. In traditional tux and gown, have a Catholic, Orthodox or Historic Church wedding with “In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost… Let us pray...”

* Western. Kick up your boots in Western attire to “Yee Haw! We are gathered here today to join this Cowgirl and this Cowboy to be wedded partners as they mosey down the love trail of matrimony...”

* Hawaiian. In leis, sarongs and Hawaiian shirts, say Aloha to your wedding day with “Now that we are one, clouds won’t hide the sun, as blue skies of Hawaii smile on this our wedding day...”

* King Arthur’s Court. In capes and crowns, give yourself the royal treatment “All hail Milord and Milady! Your romance is true, and your love is legendary in this land of Camelot...”

* Harley Davidson. Kick-start your Harley (and your heart) with “We are here today to gas you up, get your motors runnin’, and put you in high gear so you can ride off into the sunset together as husband and wife…”

* Pirates. Walk the plank together into uncharted waters with “ARRGH!!! Ahoy Mateys, all hands on deck to eye this Buccaneer take this Lass to plunge into wedded bliss! Shiver me timbers mates, thee shall be wed this wedding day or me name is not Captain John Bligh!

* Halloween. Pick your own costume theme for the bridal party with customized marriage ceremony words and vows to match.

As for location of your themed Arizona wedding, that’s completely up to you, though as your ordained Minister and wedding planner Pastor Duane can certainly help. He offers up his own meticulously landscaped backyard setting for up to 40 people, or he’ll come to you and perform your Phoenix wedding in a chapel, resort, hotel, residence, boat, hot air balloon or wherever your creative inspiration tells you to go. And no matter where that might be, this unique Arizona wedding Pastor is sure to show up in officiating attire to match your theme.

Yet as much fun and originality as Pastor Duane brings to every ceremony, it’s always in conjunction with a heartfelt passion for preserving the integrity of the bride and groom’s special day. He’s equally determined to make this kind of unique wedding experience accessible to anyone. “The best value we found anywhere,” said one bride. “Finally, someone that’s real,” said another.”

“Even though they are conducted millions of times around the world, your wedding event is a one time extraordinary happening in your world,” says Pastor Duane. “It is to your world that I am open for your invitation to participate in such an intimate and life changing affair.”

It’s Mary and Joe’s wedding day. They’re standing at the altar, their friends and family before them, all silent waiting to hear what their Phoenix wedding Pastor is going to say. These are the most important words of their lives, as they will set the tone for their marriage and future life together. Then he opens his mouth, and suddenly that future sounds questionable. They’re the right words, but the wrong tone. The ordained Minister at this Arizona wedding is distant, robotic, rushed and cold – certainly not representative of how any couple wants to begin their marriage, especially during the ceremony itself!

Now let’s peek in on Susan and Tom. Their wedding day looks much the same, but there’s something noticeably different. The tone of their Arizona wedding Pastor is intimate, animated, enthusiastic and warm. He doesn’t sound like a stranger hired to officiate the wedding, but like a pleased and proud member of the family. That’s because it’s Reverend Duane Williams of A Classic Wedding Legacy, an ordained Minister and wedding planner whose words always ring true: “I get just as excited about your wedding as you do!”

“I had a Pastorate in Las Vegas for 5 years,” says Pastor Duane, “and became acquainted with weddings quite by accident. After 2 years of part time weddings, I resigned the church and began performing wedding ceremonies full time. I discovered I really loved being with the couple and their families, and being a part of their wedding experience.”

The wedding experience with Pastor Duane begins with a one-on-one consultation. That’s when he sits down with the bride and groom to go over all aspects of their Arizona wedding, including the date, time, place, license, theme, dress, music, flowers, cake, video, participants (including any children or pets that may be in the bridal party) and plans for the reception. It’s also the time to discuss whether there’s going to be a rehearsal – if so, you can count on Pastor Duane being there too.

“If you don’t have a coordinator, don’t worry,” says Pastor Duane in wedding planner mode. “I’ll make sure everyone knows their place and part.”

What’s most remarkable about such a highly personalized and professional experience with an Arizona wedding Pastor like Pastor Duane is that it won’t bust your wedding budget. As he likes to say of his service, “You get more bang for your buck!” In fact, his packages range from just $95 for “A Classic Quickie” to $425 for “A Classic Wedding Legacy.” Or he can help you plan a customized wedding featuring any upgrades and add-ons you like to create the ultimate wedding experience, whether that means getting married in a hot air balloon or in a hot tub in a limousine. (Yes, Pastor Duane has done both.)

“Exactly what we wanted… So much more than we expected… We were treated like family.” That’s just a sampling of what couples have to say about their experience with Pastor Duane and A Classic Wedding Legacy.

How To Save A Marriage: 9 Effective Ways To Keep A Marriage

We know for a fact that any marriage--no matter how bad it is right now--can not only be salvaged, but both husband and wife can be very deeply in love again.

It doesn't matter what you feel about each other right now. Anger. Bitterness. Rage. Hatred. Or nothing at all (numbness) because you don't care enough to feel anything any more.

Our experience with thousands upon thousands of couples teaches us that there is a way--a methodology--that will turn your marriage around, stop the hurt, and rekindle the love that you had for each other back in the beginning.

Even if you can't remember loving each other in the beginning. Or think you never did.

If you still feel ‘love’ for the other person, there might still be a chance to save your marriage. There are several ways that you can do to help you in your struggle. If you don’t want to waste any more time, consider the following:

1. Ours, Yours and Mine – even if you’re a couple, each of you should have an inner as well as an outer life. This is very important; in fact, it is just as important as building intimacy and togetherness. Nobody’s perfect and as a couple, you must respect your differences because this can make your relationship stronger.
2. Always spend time together – this doesn’t mean that you should spend every spare time together. Married life entails a lot of responsibilities like working, attending to the children’s needs, cleaning, car pooling, and a lot more. But remember that all these things will be of no importance if your marriage doesn’t work. You must learn to arrange at least a few hours every week to do things together. You can arrange for regular vacations. You can date once a week and you shouldn’t break this routine.
3. Care for yourself well – even if you’re already married, you should care for yourself as well. You must be conscious of your physical appearance and well-being. This way, you will feel good about yourself and your special someone will love to look at you.
4. The importance of communication – couples ends up in misunderstandings because they forget the value of communication. If you want your married life to survive and overcome all the obstacles in life, you must have efficient communication skills.
5. Try to criticize gently – some people judge others harshly, even their loved ones. The next time you want to criticize your husband/wife, you must do it gently. Do it in a manner that you would want your spouse to criticize you.
6. The children – when a couple already has a child or children, the relationship’s dynamics is changed. But having a kid should not destroy your marriage’s sanctity. Your children will encounter problems that you as a couple should resolve, but don’t hesitate to ask help from others if you really need it.
7. Courting – even if you’re already married for some time now, you shouldn’t forget to court your special someone. Give your spouse unexpected compliments, gifts, and even a warm embrace. Do you remember the times when you were still sweethearts? Do the things that you used to do and you will remain in love.
8. Romance – life’s realities can sometimes be harsh and if you want to your relationship to survive, you must never forget about romance.
9. Endearment – you must spell out all the basics of your married relationship. Some surprises often lead to troubles so it would be best to have terms when it comes to endearment.

Marriage is also considered as a contract and it needs to be renewed. Remember your anniversary and this is just the right time to set things right.
