My friends often ask me, “Why do you do the JP stuff?” My
answer is always the same,” What’s not to like.” I explain that I meet many, many interesting people. I
become involved with them at one of the happiest times of their lives and work
hard to make certain that their wedding ceremony is special and memorable. I continue
to use my skills as a former English teacher and counselor through writing and
helping them deal with the stresses that sometimes, unfortunately, accompany
wedding planning – more on that in a later post. Finally, I become attached to
all the couples that I marry as we share a special time together and I have the
privilege to announce that they are married. Yes, it keeps me busy, often at nights and on the weekends, but the experiences are
priceless, the people I meet are wonderful, and the fees I receive enable me to
continue to help something I am deeply passionate about – the rescue and
adoption of racing greyhounds. So, what’s not to like? |
