Although I run this website, I rarely post directly to it. This situation, however, is unique and warrants attention. I received the following email message today and was wondering if anyone can help. Please respond using the contact form if you can (or know of someone) who can help with this request.

I am seeking a Buddhist Temple where my partner and I can be married. We are from the US. I would obtain license through the Provincial office, then we would like to have the marriage ceremony performed. He is Buddhist, I am not.

The ceremony would be later this year.

Do you perform the marriage ceremony? Would you be willing to do it for us? Or can you advise a temple that would do it?

Since we would be traveling from the US, I would like to be able to make plans and know there would not be any problems etc. Hence my email to you.

Thank you for your kind patience.

In peace,
Greg Mount
