Rick Bovey
Hi. My name is Rick Bovey and I have been officiating weddings for over 50 years. First it was in St. Louis when I was doing pastoral ministry. Then it was being the house officiant at a wedding venue in St. Louis. After I came back from the mission field and settled in Charlotte, I was asked to be the house officiant for Alexander Homestead. My home church in St. Louis extended my commendation (think something similar to ordination) to enable me to legally and officially perform marriages in North Carolina and elsewhere. Since then I have officiated about 100 weddings as well as vow renewal ceremonies. While I personally am a Christian minister, I do understand that the couples come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and religions. I am happy to work with each couple to create their “perfect” ceremony. (I will not jump out of an airplane. 😁) One creative thing I usually do to add to the celebration is to create a Love Story. We can talk about that when we meet.
