He made us feel like the most important people in the world!

Andrew was a great choice for our wedding officiant.  His caring for us shined through his words as he married us on our big day.  Although the rain forced everyone in closely, he did not hesitate, he held his place and looked us in our eyes and made us feel as if we were the most important couple in the world. Family, friends and the two of us were able to relax a little as his words brought us laughter and a few tears throughout the ceremony.  He really summed US up and made us feel like the most important people in the world!

He did an amazing job!

We used Andrew Nilson as our officiant and he did an amazing job!! We had several people comment on how well he did! I love that Affordable I Do’s helps you write the ceremony how you want it and gives you several examples to use. I would definitely recommend Andrew and Affordable I Do’s to officiate!
