About Elizabeth Raterman

Elizabeth lives in New York and was ordained by American Marriage Ministries on April 7th, 2015.

Hi Everyone! My name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Liz. I originally became ordained a minister because my younger sister was going to marry her fiance in a courthouse because she thought my family would disapprove and because she thought 5 weeks was too little time to plan a wedding. Well, 5 weeks later, both families came together for a wonderful military-esque wedding, and I'm happy to been a part of it!! My background is in Higher Education-Student Affairs with a focus in Multiculturalism & Diversity Education. I love learning about other faiths and traditions because I believe that the more we learn about others, the more we learn about ourselves. I've been raised Catholic and still practice many Catholic beliefs; however, I was also raised to be open to people from all walks of life... I have a non-discrimination policy to officiating wedding ceremonies :-)
