I was engaged for a year and a half and just couldn’t decide where and when and how I wanted to get married. I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted 5.25.25 as my wedding date. But I have been working so much and so much overtime I hadn’t been giving my nuptials much thought. They sat on the back burner. Now my date is fast approaching still no wedding plans or even a marriage license or a wedding dress! My fiancée made the appointment to go to city hall to get the license because I clearly was not doing it. We went Monday, May 19. As we walked out the door one of my potential wedding dresses arrived. I threw it in the house and off we went to get our marriage license. Less than an hour later, we were leaving Staten Island City Hall with our marriage license in our hands. I told my now husband that I really would like to have 5.25.25 but I don’t even know if it is possible. I was like there is no way it is 5 days away! Anyway. I drive to Manhattan for an appointment and called my sister to see if I could get married in her backyard overlooking Lake Ontario and of course she said yes. Now the hard part. Finding someone to marry us. I came home from the appointment and went on thumbtack just to see if I could find somebody. I didn’t know where else to look and honestly this is my first time using thumbtack. I found Rev. Askins and he was available Sunday on Memorial Day weekend. We had a phone conversation and I really enjoyed speaking with him and felt confident he was going to deliver a beautiful ceremony. I booked Rev. Askins. He sent me different ceremonies to choose from. We kept in communication throughout the week. Rev. Askins was on time to the ceremony and performed a very heartfelt and beautiful ceremony that my husband and I will remember throughout our marriage. It was beautifully done. Thank you Rev. Askins for taking the job last minute on a holiday weekend and being a part of our special day and making it so special and memorable. I am beyond grateful!

Father Askins was incredible. He made our day absolutely perfect. He helped ease both our nerves which we so greatly appreciated. He is very responsive and also easy to work with. Him and his wife are both just so sweet. Before we met, we had spoken on the phone and I could immediately tell he was going to be our officiant. I would highly recommend him!!
