I Have Resigned from The Wedding Chronicle

Posted by Phil Waring at 8/6/2008 7:29 AM and is filed under uncategorized


Over ten years ago I made a late night trip to a pharmacy to fill a prescription. On the way out the door my eye was drawn to the free papers & magazines rack. On the bottom shelf was the inaugural issue of The Wedding Chronicle (TWC).

The next day I called the publisher, Julia Patrick, and told her of my desire to write for a wedding publication. Since that day, I have been passionately writing a bimonthly column for couples in TWC. It has been an amazing decade, but we need to start a thread on the value of print advertising.

Yesterday I resigned from TWC because they added a 'non-religious minister' column. Is that not an oxymoron? 

While it is legal to become an internet-minister here and a not in other places, there is no reason to mislead couples by promoting such a mockery of the ministry. 

Gwen and I could not allow Arizona Ministers to be equated to the virtue of a non-religious minister. I hope Arizona will stand by us and reject these pretend ministers.

I decided it was time for me to move on and take my writing mission to another outlet. About.com has welcomed my articles as well as The University of Houston and other outstanding publications around the country.

The current publishers, have been more than great to me and I wish them all the success and happiness their paper & friendship have brought me.
