Same sex weddings

9/12/2013

Things have been happening quickly, and I have lots of things to update with weddings and couples and ideas like Unity Candle, Sand Ceremony with blended families, and most recently the legalization of same sex marriages in some counties in New Mexico.

I have been contacted by several same sex couples and we are planning wedding in pretty short order. Couples want to "strike while the iron is hot!" because there is some movement by parties to take away the right to marry. So couples in New Mexico and even Texas and Arizona are making arrangements to come to New Mexico to marry. I welcome them and am proud to say I support same sex marriage, and Marriage Equality for all.

Hi. I'm Bishop Dave Doyle, or "Fr. Dave," as a lot of people call me, the premier New Mexico wedding officiant for interfaith and Catholic weddings. I started Abundant Blessings Wedding Officiant after a buddy asked me to sub in a wedding he couldn't make; this was in the old Gruet Winery "chapel" before they did away with it. In my parish (Christ the King Old Catholic Church) I married couples as their pastor, and even followed up with Baptisms. In time more and more couples asked me to officiate at their weddings because they heard about me from friends or vendors I worked with. Many couples wanted an outdoor Catholic wedding, and here in New Mexico we are greatly blessed with beautiful weather and scenery. Finally I took the advice of many wedding professionals I worked with and started Abundant Blessings Wedding Officiant, and have been blessed with meeting many couples as they prepare for their special day. I am honored and privileged to be a part of their wedding preparation.
