David Sword, Wedding Officiant

I’m a nonsectarian officiant for your wedding, commitment ceremony, vow renewal and have been ordained since 2001. I’ve lived in the area for 6 years, via Lake Tahoe NV and Marina Del Rey CA where my wife and I lived on a sailboat. After many adventures, my wife and I have been married for 50 years! I love working with couples so their ceremony is unique and memorable. I'm available in the Portland - Salem metro areas and can help you in other venue also. You'll find me very easy to work with to ensure you and your fiance are delighted on such an important day. I like to use themes from Scottish poets, Native American culture, as well a personal writings. If you wish, I can help you develop your wedding vows. My fee is $160 in the greater Metropolitan area and willing to travel further if you'd like me to help. Being a Scottish descendant and active in Clan affairs, I can appear in Highland dress if you seek a really unique addition to your ceremony. Of course, I can dress any way you want: casual, informal and formal. I look forward to speaking with you about your perfect ceremony!
