I am a Presbyterian Minister and a member of the San Francisco Presbytery. I hold a degree in Psychology and have training in relational and family counseling. I am very interested in families, and in helping to make them strong and supportive places in which to live. I have been Chaplain at Mills/Peninsula Hospitals from 1965 to 1995 and now Chaplain for Mission Hospice in Burlingame. and I am happy in serving people from all religious backgrounds.
Esther and I have been married since 1954 and have three grown children. We have lived on the Peninsula and have been active in the community of Millbrae since 1967.
During this time, and before as a church pastor, I have had the rich joy of accompanying many couples through their Wedding experience. I bring to you a collection of their creative ideas mixed with my own.
Just as each person is unique, so also, each couple has their own special relationship, memories, hopes for the future and ways of loving one another. It is my belief that your Wedding Ceremony will be richer if it reflects your uniqueness. Through getting to know the two of you together and, in a spirit of openness, we can work together to create a ceremony that will reflect your relationship, your values, your faith and family traditions. I hope that your Wedding feels like your Wedding to you and your family and friends. I will do everything I can to weave your dreams for your Wedding into the ceremony.
Even before we get together, there are some things that the two of you can do to enrich our consultation meetings, and get into the spirit of the Wedding celebration. You might set aside some time to be alone together. Make a date with each other to share with each other about the following themes:
Talk with each other about how you are special to each other. Share your dreams for your life together.
Let yourselves dream freely of things that would make your Wedding special for each of you.
Make a note of songs, poems, sayings or passages of the Bible or other writings that express feelings and thoughts you share together. (You might explore differences and similarities of you faith perspectives.) We can consider weaving them into your Wedding.
Your Wedding will be remembered for a lifetime. I will do all I can to ensure that those memories will be warm and joyous.
I look forward to our time together.
Sincerely,
Rev. Walter E Johnson, M.Div.
