About Todd Joseph Tschiggfrie

Todd lives in Illinois and was ordained by American Marriage Ministries on July 11th, 2017.

My entrance into being ordained was due to my sister asking me to officiate her union to her partner. After discussing the ceremony and getting an understanding of what they wanted, I had fun creating a unique script that was special and meaningful to their relationship. I cannot say that I practice a specific religion, even though I was raised as a catholic. I have a firm grasp on my FAITH and believe that religion should not dictate how or what I believe. I know that my relationship with god can be as simple as a quiet moment of reflection or as complicated as a one sided conversation to which I can only wait for answers to be revealed. That being said, I am very accepting of all individuals and believe that love is love and everyone deserves to be happy with their choice. "LOVE" is just a word until we give it meaning, weddings allow those individuals to set their own definition together. It is a very special honor to be asked to put words to that definition, and a unique blessing to deliver them out loud to their closest family and friends.
