Your engagement is one of the most exciting times in your life! Love strong enough for a lifetime commitment is worthy of celebration. When starting to plan your dream wedding consider the one person, besides you and your beloved, who will make the most significant contribution to your ceremony - the officiant!

Ralph Griggs is a non-denominational minister and member of the Tennessee Wedding Event Specialist Association who has presided over wedding ceremonies for many years. Ralph has officiated countless weddings at Cedarwood and we whole heartedly recommend him beacuse of his caring, professional yet gentle manner, and his perfect track record. Throughout his years of service Ralph has never been late for a wedding!

Often we hear Cedarwood guests compliment Ralph's ceremonies, and many say his are the most touching services they have attended! Ralph's wife Mary Griggs is also available to officiate weddings.

One unique service Ralph offers Tennessee couples is a premarital prepration course. Not only will you save $60 in state marriage license fees by completing this program, but you will make the first real investment for a successful marriage. Ralph tells us that over 23 studies have shown that couples who undergo premarital preparation report a higher sense of partnership, make better adjustments to married life and resolve problems more successfully than those who don't.

Ralph's at-home Marriage Preparation Course consists of self-study, not structured classes, although a one-on-one meeting with Ralph can provide the benefits of a professional counselor without the financial commitment. Even if Ralph does not conduct your ceremony you can still enroll in the premarital prep program and save money on your marriage license.

Program graduates William and Amy Brim shared, "We had been caught up in the wedding plans and have not sat down and talked about our lives in a long while. It was good to come back to the reality of why we were getting married."
