Surely, I jest. But it takes true non-believers (and dear friends of mine) to be the first and perhaps the last users of PlatKat’s Ministry Services. However, if you happen to be one of the handful of athiests in Oklahoma City looking to be married by a secular minister, I’ve got a book and page number all set; just be ready with my fee.

Performing Jim and Adrienne’s wedding was actually one of the highlights of my summer. I was unbelievably excited that they asked me to do it and somewhat nervous at the thought of messing up their special day, but I think they were happy with how things went. Or they are very good actors.

I liked this wedding because not only did I get to talk really loud and force a room full of people to listen to me, but the ceremony itself only lasted a few minutes. All we did the rest of the time was eat and drink. And drink and drink and drink… Yay!

I was afraid the older fam would be put off by my pink-and-blue hair coupled with my brazen, outgoing personality which is sometimes horribly misconstrued as being thundering and obnoxious. Fears were quickly dispelled when one wedding guest taught Adrienne’s entire family the “shocker” hand signal and took some pictures.

Like being the second-prettiest girl at the bar, being the second-loudest kid at the party has its advantages. All the fun, none (well, less) of the drama.

Here I am ministering!

And here I am not doing the shocker!

Here are some pictures Charlie took. After a few glasses of wine, I’ll do just about anything… including the shocker.

And here are the rest of the pictures that I “took”. (In this case, “took” has more than one meaning. But as you can see from Jim’s face in one particular pic, I don’t need to be giving money to that douche photog.) Sidenote: If you want to be flickr friends, befriend platkat.
