If you'd like more information about me you will find my experience in my articles.  Here is an article about me.  I've been married to my husband Peter for 28 years.  He's a naturalized American citizen.  We were married in his Native Germany to get his green card and then again in the church where I grew up in the US. That gives me a very unique perspective on marriage and processes many couples go through on their way to  happily every after.  You can read my green card wedding experience here.  It's part of the reason I became a wedding officiant!  You can read why I became a wedding officiant here.
