    How I cater to offbeat weddings

    Rev. Benae was born in Houston, Texas from a lineage consisting of First American shamans and traders, as well as ancient and medieval Welsh peoples.

    Often found striding up to ceremonies in my black cowgirl boots, she is a true GRIT (Girl Raised in Texas) and conundrum to many.

    Raised in a “progressive” Southern Baptist household, dancing, smoking, and a little cussin’ here and there were allowed. So were the occasional drink and public display of affection, as well as independent thought.  You’re thinking by now, “Not very church-y.”

    Well, let’s just say behind the “Reverend Benae” persona lies a host of unique relatives, contradictions, and complications that formed the unique and spiritual woman she is today — some might say a hippie cowgirl.

    As a young girl, instead of having pretend tea parties with her dolls and teddy bears, she instead performed weddings with her Barbies– and cats and dogs. She says, “Thank goodness I eventually grew up!”

    Around 1994, Benae was invited to a commitment ceremony in Austin, Texas and was forever changed by the experience. The shaman-officiant conducted the ceremony to a teary-eyed backyard congregation, joining two souls in love and life in a way she had never known. It was at that time she secretly wished she could do the same for people and have since made her wishes come true. In 2005, Rev. Benae received her ordination and hasn’t looked back since!

    "Our wedding day was perfect and Rev. Benae was a huge part of that. When I tell you this woman went above and beyond on our day, that is no exaggeration. " https://g.co/kgs/YnCxR1
