FL Brides- need an offbeat officiant?

I am a notary and would be happy to officiate at your wedding. The reason this is a favor and not an ad is because I LOVE OBT and want to help make it an authenticate occasion.

Love,
Christina

That is absurd...it's like he wants his daughter to be his wife in a way...which is kind of gross and possessive. I guess it could be a good thing that you don't have them.
