«Frank was the wedding speaker at our free wedding. We felt comfortable with him from the beginning. His open, direct and very loving manner carried us through every meeting and especially through the ceremony. The arrangement of his wedding speech was very personal, which we and especially our guests appreciated extraordinarily. Looking back, Frank was indispensable for our
wedding and we carry this day with him forever.»
«To say that Frank just accompanied us, would be an understatement. He gifted us with a lively yet profound ceremony and a speech that – literally – changed some of our guests’ lives. It was a pleasure and a blessing for us to have found him. We never thought it would be possible to integrate two cultures in a ceremony, my husband is Swiss and I am Chinese: But he made it work.»
«For all your words – the funny, the cheerful, the courageous, the enlightening, the thoughtful, the hopeful, the loving – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts; this wedding ceremony is another important milestone in our common history and will remain forever in our most beautiful memory.»
«It is very important to us to thank you again in this way. Even if words cannot express what you have given us with your company and the wedding ceremony, we do not want to leave either untried. When we asked you for our wedding ceremony almost a year and a half ago, we thought we knew that we had found a companion for our wedding in you who would perform our wedding ceremony in a
form – with humor, youthfulness, commitment and the right amount of seriousness – that suited us. What we did not know was that this wedding ceremony would be one of the absolute highlights of our whole wedding celebration, both for us and for our wedding party»
«Dear Frank!
We would like to thank you again for the wonderful wedding. You made the most beautiful day for us with your wedding ceremony. It was unique, you were unique. All our guests were brightly excited, touched and overjoyed, just like us. And then your sung ‘Halleluja’ with German lyrics, just for us! If someone tells about our wedding, then everyone says: this pastor, so wonderful, so human and he speaks exactly from life and everyone feels addressed in a positive sense. Some rethink their actions in their relationship and thank you for the beautiful and lively sermon. My neighbors, as I already told you on the phone, have reconnected through you. We are so happy about that.»
