    Raymond Cross

    Ray Cross describes himself as an "improvementist" – "Good, better, best never let it rest, until your good is better and your better, best." Ray always looks for ways of breathing new life, creativity and healing into all of his relationships and activities – a life drive that uncovers improvements and solutions to perplexing inefficiencies and weakness. Ray applies this drive to all he experiences. His books, therefore, touch on a variety of challenges that have crossed his path, both conceptual and practical.Ray was born in Toronto, studied for ministry at Ontario Bible College, where he earned a Bachelor of Theology. While pastoring in Peterborough, from Trent University he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.Ray pastored Baptist churches in Peterborough, Trenton, Port Hope, Oshawa and Scarborough for 32 years before retiring from pastoral service. Pastoral ministry, of course, involved all aspects of personal and family care. While pastoring, Ray took many practical ministry and counselling courses to enhance his skills as well a travelling province-wide teaching insightful seminars.Since retiring from pastoring, Ray has served as an Officiant, primarily for weddings. His wedding website,brideschoiceofficiant.com, provides matchless wedding ceremony resources couples love.Ray has been happily married since 1971 to Diane, a nutrition expert and public school teacher (retired). They have two grown children and three grandchildren. Ray shares that the incredible professional acting skills of his daughter, Andrea, inspire his quest for dynamic presentation in ceremonies.If you see Ray and Diane about town you will find them walking hand in hand. They also ice skate several times a week. They love to travel and delight in white sand beaches. A natural extension of their love of travel is Ray’s periodic service as guest minister on cruises ships.Ray is a thorough researcher, and his experience in sermon planning, public speaking, and service planning and coordination is evident in all he does.Ray is sensitive and responsive to the needs of those he serves, whether in weddings, public speaking or on the printed page.

      Wedding Officiant

      Raymond Cross

      Throughout the entire wedding process Ray was so helpful and patient with us. Answered all of our questions and always went above and beyond. The day of our rehearsal, our events coordinator mentioned she had never worked with an Officiant who was so professional and organized. We would highly recommend Ray to those couples who are looking for a professional, funny, personal and helpful Officiant! — Kristine

      Ray is a great Officiant! We really appreciated his support towards our wedding. He ensured our ceremony was OUR ceremony incorporating our interests and uniqueness, which we really appreciated. He was very personable to all members of our wedding. During the rehearsal he was great in explaining the expectations of the people involved in the ceremony, i.e. the readers, groomsmen, bridesmaids, to help ease their nervousness. During the ceremony Ray was able to lighten the mood when necessary and he knows the perfect time to be genuine. — Megan and Pat

      Ray is such an amazing person! He took everything we wanted and made it happen. His ability to lead our entire wedding party and family through the rehearsal was incredible! His attention to every little detail such as the angle at which each bridesmaid and groomsman were to stand, astounded me! The way he was able to communicate exactly how we would feel and how he would lead us through it was exact, and gave us confidence while we were saying our vows in front of 200 of our friends and family members. I have been photographing weddings for the past 10 years, and never have I ever met an Officiant that has done a better job than Ray Cross! Book with him, you won't regret it!

      Ray was an amazing help. He directed the rehearsal with great leadership and explained clearly to everyone their roles and positions so there would be no confusion. He also helped set a good tone. After our ceremony many guests told us they felt Ray had known us for years because of the personal touches he put into the ceremony. His personality was a great fit. Couldn't have gone better.

      I found it very helpful the way Ray took the lead and ran the rehearsal. A wedding ceremony can be intimidating for everyone involved in the wedding party as well as the parents and I truly believed having Ray run through everything with us and provide his tips made the world of a difference! I would highly recommend Ray to any couple!

      Ray was exceptional with his flexibility, diligence and professionalism. He was easily approachable with any questions and/or concerns and he was a true comfort throughout the whole process as he made me feel at ease. His rehearsal was so helpful as he had it very structured and made sure that there was absolutely no confusion as to what the expectations were on the wedding day. He also added some comedic and personal touches into the rehearsal and the ceremony. After our wedding we had many comments on how wonderful Ray was and many people asking for his information! I would highly recommend him to anyone.

      Ray was the perfect Officiant for our perfect day. He helped us create and personalize a ceremony that represented us and our relationship and was there with advice every step of the way. His professionalism with our families and guests and his conducting of our ceremony and rehearsal made everything run smoothly and go so perfectly!

      It`s one thing to provide the services needed; its another thing to do what you do. From the moment we met you we knew we were in the best hands. You were so helpful guiding us through the process and your online Candy Store for brides is amazing! Beyond all that, when it
