Texas:
Tim Ledbetter
ULC Reverend, O.C.P Spiritual Humanism, performs ceremonies in TX and WA
Ceremonies: Performing various bonding and wedding ceremony to include hand-fasting.
Bio: I have performed various services over the last eight years in both Texas and Washington state. My primary services are Wedding and Hand-fasting, but dedication, renewal, and infant dedication ceremony can also be performed. I work with the couple to be joined to create a ceremony everyone can be pleased with, or I can provide examples of more generic ceremony. Non-denominational ceremony can also be performed for those who need a more 'standard' or Judeo-Christian friendly ceremony. Standard Christian non-denominational ceremony can also be performed.

Pastor Laurel Hess/Gyelle
Licensed in WA
Ceremonies: I perform ceremonies in Washington and Oregon. Ordained by Lyceum of Trees (and the ULC). I am interested in all rites of passage with a focus on weddings and end of life. Unions of people in same sex and polyamorous relationships are also happily celebrated. I love working with people to make their time special and meaningful. I also can help you write a ceremony that will express your ideals and not frighten your otherly religious relatives. Personally, I am a Crone who has been studying religions for years and helped to found Lyceum of Trees, a non-denominational Pagan Church in 2000. Lyceum also does a year and a day class in Paganism 101 to help people get the knowledge they need to function in the community and to find their Path.
