Welcome and Congratulations!

Rev. Gregory and Sandra Possman are ordained ministers with Universal Brotherhood, a non-denominational inter-faith organization headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We believe that all belief systems are appropriate as long as they serve human kind in positive ways. Our only doctrine is unconditional love, non-judgment and tolerance.

Gregory and Sandra have over 15 combined years experience as wedding ministers in the High Country. We have performed weddings in Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and surrounding areas. We also do commitment ceremonies, baptisms, christenings, memorial services and heartfelt recommitment ceremonies. We are available either individually or together as legal Wedding Officiants to perform your perfect ceremony.

We perform:

• Custom Designed Weddings
  • We design and perform Wedding Ceremonies for couples in love, whether it is your first marriage or otherwise.  We also have some beautiful ceremonies for blended families, in which the children may participate, so they feel they are part of the new marriage. We marry partners of different faiths, and those who have been previously divorced or widowed. We happily accommodate the inclusion of children, family, friends, music, special themes, readings, pets and different cultures into ceremonies. We perform ceremonies in Churches, outdoor sites, local lodges, bed and breakfasts, and local gardens. Spring and summer are especially popular times for weddings in the mountains so please contact us with your date to determine our availability. This may avoid disappointment. All ceremonies are performed legally and must be accompanied by a legal marriage license.
• Sensitive Commitment Ceremonies
  • We perform beautiful ceremonies for those renewing their wedding vows.  Or if you desire a public celebration of your commitment to one another, and choose not to be legally married, we perform beautiful, custom designed Commitment Ceremonies. If your circumstances do not allow for a legally licensed marriage ceremony, contact us and we’ll discuss performing a Handfasting, Expression of Vows, or another ceremony that declares your love for one another. This affords the opportunity to proclaim your commitment in a ceremony, including family and friends, or more privately, for you and your partner.

Whether you choose a traditional or non-traditional, religious or non-religious ceremony, it is your wedding day and we feel it should be what the Bride and Groom want it to be. You may choose to write your own vows to be included in your wedding ceremony and as your wedding officiant we will joyfully weave the vows in to make the ceremony flow.

 

We have performed beautiful handfastings in Celtic and Native American traditions.  The use of Unity candles and sand pouring can also be incorporated into your special ceremony.

Whether you wish to elope, have a small intimate wedding or do it up in grand style, we can accommodate your marriage celebration.  Tie the knot in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, it’s the perfect wedding destination and the ideal back drop for your wedding pictures.
