Thinking of eloping in Portland Oregon? Elopement weddings are welcome, and in most cases there is a three day waiting period, use the fourth day, after you have purchased your Oregon marriage license or Washington marriage license from the county.
State of WA elopement weddings (military, etc.) or Oregon eloping couples, call me if you have an urgent need to marry. It is possible to purchase a waiver at the county and have your Oregon marriage license effective immediately.
"She put the entire wedding party at ease, was very professional, and delivered a beautiful service... my father-in-law remarked it was the best ceremony he'd ever witnessed. We're incredibly happy with her work - it truly was 'our perfect wedding' as she had promised! Abby Isles"

Non-traditional Wedding Ceremony Sample (partial ceremony)
This is intended to be a partial example only. Most people know what a religious wedding ceremony is like, so this is an example of a non-religious, non-traditional wedding ceremony. The possibilities are endless, and I will have many suggestions for you to consider, in personalizing your wedding ceremony to the words that best say what's in your hearts.
***We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes to the words which will unite ______ in marriage. Let this be a day of gladness, thanksgiving, possibility, and great good fortune for ______, who are coming together to demonstrate the wonder of love through their wedding celebration. We who are witnessing your marriage, hope that despite the stresses inevitable in any life, your love and respect for each other, and your trust and understanding of each other, will increase your contentment and increase your joy in living.
Marriage is a very special place, the sheltered environment in which we can learn and grow as individuals, with the support, love and companionship of that other very special person who has made the commitment and promise to share life's journey.
We are here today, not only to witness your commitment to each other, ______, but also to wish you every happiness in your future life as a couple. Within its framework of commitment and loyalty, marriage enables the establishment of a home, where through trust, patience and respect, the love and affection that you have for each other may continue to develop and deepen in the years to come.
We have come here today to be with ______ as they take the next step in their journey together. In one sense they are not beginning a new life, but are continuing and strengthening the bond that is already there. For ______, the spirit of marriage is already alive in their hearts and minds.

Blessing of Marriage
It is my hope that from this day forward the two of you will take with you into your married life all the joy, good wishes and blessings that your friends and families are extending to you on this happy day.
(sample of blessing, many options available)
May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And all the days of your life may you walk
Gently through the world and know its beauty.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you ____, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.
"We so appreciated having you officiate our wedding. It turned out to be just as we'd hoped. We loved your enthusiasm and special touches. Happily married again, Jani"
