Hi Gary, Thank you so much for being a part of our day, a very large part at that. You were wonderful and so helpful every step of the way. If anyone we know is looking for a justice of the peace I will absolutely refer them to you. Today I successfully switched over my license to reflect my name change. I think after doing that, now things are starting to feel different (in a good way of course!) Again, we can’t thank you enough for everything. Matt and Shayna

We will certainly recommend you to anyone we know looking for an officiant. I can't believe it's been a week already since the big day! It was a hectic few days after the wedding and we are now enjoying our honeymoon in beautiful Cape Breton. Hope you are enjoying the lovely autumn weather and all the very best to you.

Mr Dockendorff! We could not have been happier with the ceremony and the role you played. It was as beautiful as Robyn was. Rest assured we'll spread the word to anyone we know looking for a JP to assist them. Your assistance and advice as we planned our ceremony was invaluble. If we'd paid you triple it wouldn't be a big enough thank you for your kind words and efforts.Thanks again! James and Robyn

Gary, I would like to start out by saying thank you for being a part of our ceremony. We received many compliments on your behalf during the reception that evening, it seems our guests were thuroughly impressed by your delivery. Many thanks,Emily

Hi Gary - this is James Tee! (you married my partner Geoff and I back in July). How are you? Your name came up yesterday as my brother and his fiance are planning on getting married in Halifax next year, and when I was talking to Geoff we suddenly realized that neither of us had gotten back to you with either a photo of that day or a testimonial for your website! Until now, I had thought that Geoff had written you, but Geoff thought that I already did, so we just realized that neither of us ever did! So sorry about that! Geoff and I are doing great and celebrated our one-year anniversary this past summer. We wanted to thank you again for being so accomodating to our last minute request with less than a week's notice (given the sudden change in my dad's health). Trying to organize our marriage that summer at the last minute all the way from our residence in San Diego, it was such a relief to have you officiate at our marriage in our home in Halifax as you were always on top of all the paperwork. It was such a breath of fresh air to meet an officiant who is so accepting of us as same-gender couple and our choice to establish our increased level of committment and love for one other through marriage. As we didn't have the opportunity to celebrate our official marriage with most of our other friends and family members, we marked our one year anniversary with year with a more extensive unofficial wedding gathering. You will also be hearing from either my brother (Frank) or his fiancee (Karen) in the near future as they are also looking for a JP to officiate their Halifax wedding next summer and we've recommended you to them! Cheers - James (and Geoff)

Hi Gary! Scott and I want to thank you SO much for the wonderful wedding ceremony! We only met with you twice prior to the wedding; however, it felt more like a fond family member was sharing our day with us and presiding over our most special day! The wedding was exactly what we wanted and the overall feeling was exactly what we were looking for. You are tops and will always hold a very dear and special place in our hearts, it surely would not have been the same without you!! Yours truly, Darlene & Scott P.S. Thanks for the hugs! :)

Hi Gary, We certainly enjoyed the wedding ceremony, and wouldn't have changed a thing... Well, maybe stabilize the microphone and the table (nice catch, by the way). :) We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends and family who might require a JP. Everyone seemed very pleased with the ceremony, and all the feedback we r eceived was very positive! Thank you once again for guiding us through this process, and especially for the great communication while we tried to arrange everything from our home in Edmonton. Hopefully we will cross paths again in the future. Sincerely, Ken and Irina

Gary, we just want to thank you for being our officiant with such little notice. When we arrived in Nova Scotia from Switzerland to tour your province we knew we wanted to be married in Nova Scotia. Not knowing any JP, we were given your name by our B&B host and were so delighted when we met you and you agreed to marry us. We want to thank you for choosing the Dingle Park for our ceremony and the wonderful job you did with our ceremony and for all your help. Also, thanks for finding Paul to photograph our special day. En outre, grands mercis de répéter une partie de la cérémonie en français pour nos deux témoins de point d'église. Yvonne and Felix

The afternoon of our wedding was a bit of a blur, but everything went really well. We will certainly pass your name on! Thanks again, Helena and Michael

Gary! We just got home last night from the cruise. We couldn't have asked for a better JP and we'll surely pass on your name if we know of anyone heading to Canada to get hitched! Thanks for your patience with us and our photos and our registration mistakes! We're having fun forwarding our friends and families a picture of the Certificate. Thanks for opening your home to us. It was a perfect day. - Jennifer and Cathy

Hi Gary, We just wanted to say many thanks for solemnizing our wedding. It was just a perfect day and we both apprecaite your patience and flexibility with us.

We will most definitely pass your name along to our friends and families. Thanks again, it was truly our dream day! Amber and Tyler

Hi Gary, We would like to thank you for being a part of our special day. It was unknown what the turn out was going to be, but in the end you made it a very memorable occasion for us both and we are very appreciative of this. We will definately pass your name along to whomever we hear about looking for someone for their wedding. You did an amazing job and it was more than we expected. Thank you so much again for your wishes to us, and we will be sure to read those vows as much as possible to remind us how very special this day meant to us. Take care. -Bryan and Julie

Post subject: THANK YOU JP Gary Dockendorff Hello everyone, Thank you for all of your support and enthusiasm about our wedding. It is official, we were married at 11am ADT June 20th, 2005 at the beautiful home of JP Gary Dockendorff. We walked through the public gardens prior to the ceremony and took about 100 pictures, it was absolutely gorgeous. We had a perfect day, the weather was amazing, and the ceremony was a dream come true. I thought I'd share a few of the shots, but as you all know, we have about 500 more pictures of the trip, if you'd like to see them, let me know and we can set up a time for the digital slide show! The people in these pics are Larry and myself, my mother Judy (red shirt), our very dear friend Carol (black shirt), and the JP Gary (wonderful person who is accepting of everyone and is an amazing person, we were so grateful to have found him). Talk to you all soon Brian

SAME SEX WEDDING BELLS RING IN HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA CANADA Thanks to Halifax Nova Scotia for allowing us to come to your wonderful city and helping us to celebrate our same sex wedding ceremony. Justice Gary Dockendorff performed the ceremony and assisted us with all our documentation. Even though he is a straight Justice, he treated us with all the respect and dignity we could have had ever wanted. Judith and Susan, Michigan

> Hello Gary > > I'd like to thank you again for a very nice ceremony last Tuesday. And thanks for the help with the preparing our ceremony. > Photo attached. > > Melissa

We have used the services of JP Gary Dockendorff from Halifax for numerous marriage ceremonies across mainland Nova Scotia. The only problem is you have to book him early unless you are flexible with the time of your ceremony. He has proven to be very helpful and knowledgeable about his services.

nsnurse New Member I have a friend at the Colchester Regional Hospital who is getting married in July and has Gary Dockendorff performing her ceremony. The only problem is that she had to change her ceremony from early afternoon to late afternoon because he was booked for the time she had planned. She saw him perform a friend's wedding ceremony and really liked him.

We are getting married at my FH's family home in Bedford and are using Gary Dockendorff to perform our service. He also married my future sister-in-law.

We live in Olds Alberta and have also booked Gary Dockendorff to perform our ceremony this fall. To eliminate the 5 day waiting period, he explained how to obtain our license through Canada Post and he also agreed to pick up our marriage license for us since the marriage license office will be closed when we fly into Halifax. He also said since we were having a small wedding, no rehearsal would be required and that he would go over our ceremony and what we would have to do at his home when we arrive to pick up our license. We found him very helpful and he comes highly recommended by his references. Helen

We are living in NB but my FH is from Bedford and we have engaged the services of Gary Dockendorff to officiate at our wedding in September. My FH's sister also had Gary perform her ceremony. Now let's hope the weather is nice cause we are having an outdooors wedding on my FH's family lawn.

Thank you so much for doing our wedding ceremony. Everyone commented on what a great officiant we had, and Mike and I agree. Out of all the things that went on that day, the one compliment we received numerous times was, "That was the most beautiful wedding ceremony I have ever seen." Thanks again for everything, you are so awesome and fun and we were very lucky to have found you!! You helped make our special day even more special. Thanks for just being you! Love, Mike and Denise "TATE"!!

Thank you very much for officiating our wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned, we've had so many compliments on our "wonderful judge". We couldn't agree more! Kevin and I can't thank you enough for making it such a perfect day for us! Tammy

I wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so great! I can't tell you how wonderful you were. Finding someone to marry us was actually one of the most difficult things to do. We were absolutely blessed to have found you. It was just "meant" to be! I just wanted you to know how grateful both Heath and I are for you and all that you did for us. It’s so hard to convey to you exactly how awesome we think you are. Thanks again for everything! Dana and Heath

For the millionth time, thank you soooo much for a great ceremony. My friends and family enjoyed and loved the ceremony. They commented that you were pretty hip and funny. Many of our guests said the ceremony was meaningful, beautifully done and flowed romantically. I had an incredible time, Jay and I will truly remember this day for the rest of our lives. With Love, Flosil

Dear Gary, Nine years ago today you married my husband Joe and me. I remember you saying to the audience that you wished they could see the love that was reflected in our faces at that moment. Well, many years have passed and the love that we share has only grown richer and deeper. God has blessed us with this love as well as faith, trust in each other & terrific communication skills. Thanks for being such an important part of the day when we pledged our love for each other and all the other people that were and have been central to our lives. Sincerely, Denise & Joe

Dear Gary,Thank you for the truly lovely ceremony, and for making our day soperfect. I'm only sorry I don't have any friends getting married so thatI could pass your name along to them - but if the opportunity doespresent itself I won't hesitate to sing your praises.-Jennifer

Gary, Just a quick hello and thank you so much! Our wedding was beautiful and we are both very happy.Here are a couple of photos, thanks.Noel & Maureen

Justice of the Peace - Gary Dockendorff - Gary gets a 15/10. Pre-wedding day He was a huge help in planning our ceremony and attaining our marriage license. We liked working with him and for a girl from Ontario, his tips on attaining our license were invaluable. The service flowed as planned as tears of joy flowed from many eyes during his ceremony. We'd be pleased to pass along his name! Larissa and Todd,

Thank you Gary for a beautiful ceremony. We appreciate all that you've done for us and helping to make our wedding day special.If I know of anyone who plans to get married in the future, I will pass your name onto them. Thanks again! Sincerely, Kendra & Heather

Hi Gary, We would like to say a big thank you for Saturday. The ceremony was by far our favourite moment of the evening! Especially when the cruise ship sailed away...it was priceless. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you after the wedding, so I wanted to contact you as soon as possible to say how much we appreciate all that you have done for us. All the best, Renee and Aaron

Thanks for all your help and being part of our special day! Sandra & John Ezra

Thanks for your help in preparing our special day! Your assistance was greatly appreciated with sorting out our legal requirements and of course for arranging things in Halifax, not to mention finding our witnesses for us. We couldn't have done it without you, thank you, Chris & Lee-Ann
