Choosing an Officiant
When you picture the perfect wedding ceremony, what do you see? A lovely sun setting behind you as you stand under a
gazebo or
chuppah adorned with
flowers in a casual setting suitable for your casual style? Or does the traditional
decorate, choosing an officiant will make a significant difference in your ceremony.
There are two main directions that you can take when it comes to choosing an officiant denominational officiants may travel to far ends to make a couple happy. Some civil officiants may also carry out such adventurous and unique requests. Whichever ceremony you envision, be it in the air, under water, on a beach, or at your home, you need to find the officiant that will carry out those requests.
Once you have a clear idea of what type of a ceremony you want, the next step is finding the person to be your officiant. For civil marriages, you may find a judge, notary, or a county clerk to carry out the ceremony. For a religious marriage, a minister, priest, rabbi, or imam performs the ceremony. Above all, it cannot be stressed enough that your officiant needs to be someone who you feel very comfortable with, someone you trust, and someone who you feel cares about your wedding as much as you do. To be sure that you are choosing the right one, here are the most important things you should ask potential officiants, both civil and religious.
