How Do You Find The Ideal Wedding Officiant?
You need just the right person to make taking your marriage vows truly memorable–an officiant willing to create the perfect ceremony that captures your personalities and beliefs. Find someone whose beliefs resonate with yours and who can speak eloquently on your behalf. You’ll want to meet several times to discuss the ceremony and come to a mutual accord. Officiants can suggest vows or help you fine-tune your own. Choose from a wide pool of possible religious officiants: priests, rabbis, Catholic scholars, theologians and cantors. If you hold a religious ceremony in a church or synagogue, you may need to use their officiant. A judge or justice of the peace can do the honors, as can a mayor, governor, county clerk, notary, legally ordained minister or anyone who is deputized to perform a one-time ceremony. Have a friend become a minister. At the Universal Life Church (ulc.com) you can fill out an online form, pay $12, and voila`! You’re an ordained minister. (Check laws in your state.)
