Sacred Ceremonies
led by Preston Klik
Preston became a spirit-based, multi-faith/ non-denominational minister in 2006, and has performed weddings and anniversary re-weddings.
"My role is to spiritualize your event, to make it sacred by your / our commitment and integrity. After all, NOTHING is sacred... unless humans make it so. So we will, with your permission and guidance , sacralize your ceremony. And by doing so, we'll raise the spiritual center of gravity of our community - and the world - a little Higher. : ) "
"The first wedding I presided over was that of Myke Hollahan and Shannon. Two things are interesting about that.
One : Myke is the father of my wife's son, Justice! I was asked by Myke and Shannon to wed them in St Charles IL, and I gladly did so, with Emily's full support.
Two : Between Myke and Shannon there were approximately eight parental units at the wedding! I am happy to report they all liked the ceremony very much, and most were moved to tears."

WEDDING CEREMONY SAMPLE
(INTRO TO AUDIENCE)
Welcome to you all, gathered together to witness this joyous occasion.
Today we bond two beings we know and love, _____ and _____ .
Love takes many forms - infinite forms -
as it manifests in this world.
And giving and receiving of any type of love
is what makes a life worth living.
But there are special types of love.
One of those is romantic love.
Romantic love is a possibility in every human life,
but never guaranteed.
Some persons are graced with such a special love,
and today we are here to honor and celebrate just such a love.
(TO _____/_____)
_____ and _____, the friends and relatives gathered here
are proud and joyful to not just witness,
but to be a co-creative part
of this wonderful and important event.
By asking us to be present for you,
you two enroll all of us in the possibility of your love,
your bond, and your commitment to each-other.
Together, we collectively create an environment
that supports you both in the creation of your Nation of Two.
In its full expression, true marriage is the recognition
that your two aligned souls are already united.
When such a special personal bond exists between two people,
when friendship transforms to a higher realm,
it is only fitting that an acknowledgement of such be shared.
This is the purpose of this gathering, and this ceremony.
We are here to witness you both
solidifying entry into the most intimate relationship
- husband and wife.
You are already one in Spirit.
From this day forth the whole world
will know and acknowledge you ... as one.
(TO AUDIENCE)
None of us at this ceremony is simply here as an onlooker.
We are here because _____ and _____ feel close to us,
and ask that we join them in this dedication of sacred purpose.
We represent ALL their family and friends,
and indeed all those whose lives will be touched
- in any way - by the commitment we witness today.
But we don't just witness it, we co-create it.
It is within us, in our acknowledgement,
to make this commitment powerfully real, and lasting.
(continued) . . .
