Bill Cochran: Hi! I am Reverend Bill Cochran. I am a full time wedding officiant and I own the company 'Say I Do Your Way.

' in that company, both my wife and I serve as wedding officiants and are having a time of our life being there at these special occasions. I would like to talk with you about the process involved in finding a wedding officiant. Little bit more about myself, I was 35 years in typical pastoral settings and about five years ago, stepped out of that venue to become a full time officiant. It has been a fun ride and as I said, there is nothing better than a positive vibrations that you find in a wedding.
