Greetings!!!
My name is Reverend Andrea L Neal and I am a non-denominational ordained minister who
specializes in officiating wedding ceremonies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Whether the ceremony is long or short, formal or informal, in a friends backyard, or at the
couple’s favorite restaurant;
Becoming One will be honored to service your officiating
needs.  

If you need assistance personalizing your vows or the structure of your ceremony, I can
assist you with that. Since I come to you, you can select a sentimental, intimate, or any other
type of location.* Depending on the ceremony this can be discussed in the free initial
consultation.


Benefits of an Innovative Ceremony:
  • Formal or as informal settings
  • You select the location, vows, and ceremony arrangement
  • You are not limited to a house of worship


Description of Ceremonies:

Elopement/Same Day Ceremonies:
If you have obtained your marriage license and are not within the 72 hour waiting period I will
be happy to perform your ceremony (as long as scheduling permits). Time is sensitive;
however, you may still be able to write your own wedding vows. These ceremonies can
occur anywhere as long as all state laws are being obeyed.

Nontraditional:
This ceremony occur outside of a house of worship and can include traditional or
personalized vows. The ceremony can be as personal, formal, informal, and as symbolic      
as you would like. Let me help you create a ceremony for you!

Engagement Ceremonies:
This type of ceremony is where the couple commits to marrying each other at a later date.
These ceremonies are ideal if someone is going to another country for missions work, a
job, after the birth of a child or other personal reason.

Commitment Ceremonies:
For those who would like to commit to each other in a nontraditional  manner this ceremony
is for you! Often, a symbolic commitment works for some couples for personal reasons. At
this time
Becoming One does not perform ceremonies for same sex couples.

Vow Renewals/Rededication Ceremonies:
For those who want to celebrate many years of marriage or rededicate themselves after a
life altering event,
Becoming One would like to help you!

House Blessings:
Whether living in a house for many years or moving into a new home; House Blessing can
clear any old energy and invite in new energy. The blessing can be as spiritual according to
your preference.

Baby Blessings:
Baby blessings can occur before or after the child is born. The setting can be at the baby
shower, at the hospital, in the home, or other locations the family request.

Initial Consultation:
The consultation may not be for every service. It is free and should not last of more than

be discussed.  At the end of this period, the couple can indicate whether they want to utilize

ceremony. If this is not needed, or alternative rehearsal arrangements have been made, I
