Not wanting just the standard non-religious service, I decided to write our ceremony and vows myself. I met with Judge Centanni ahead of time and he reviewed what I had written. He added in line that we needed to make sure our ceremony was complete (for legal purposes) and even made a suggestion for the ceremony closer. He was very kind and patient with us. During our ceremony, he did a great job officiating. We had our ceremony in an outdoor garden in the French Quarter. When some yahoos started cheering at us from outside the garden, he was able to make light of it with a small joke and keep the ceremony moving along....it was quite a relief. He did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend him as a wedding officiant.
