The Wedding I Officiated In A Hospice Room

One of the greatest privileges of my vocation as a priest was when I officiated my best friend Ryan's wedding in her hospice room, just days before she died. The essay I wrote about this experience describes why presence matters more than problem-solving, and what vows really mean when there's no time left for the future. It’s also about what it means to minister to those you love most.
