    It wouldn't hurt for us to extend the offer, but it would be up to the officiant if he wants to stay or not.

    No. We don't have to do that. Our venue is a community center and we're bringing in our own food. We're ordering extra just to be safe

    Yes, we are. This is special because our officiant and her husband were actually my FH's middle school teachers. They have been a positive presence in his life ever since. I'm honored that they will attend.

    No. He was a Justice of the Peace, a stranger and a professional. We were a one hour job. His fifth wedding that day .

    Our officiant is my FH's cousin so he will be invited! I would think it is a courtesy to invite them to join in the celebration of the marriage they just made official. My BFF's officiant was invited but declined.

    No, I did not. When I asked him he made it clear he would be leaving to go home after and normally doesn't attend any receptions
