Bilingual Mandarin/english Officiant or “host”

Hi Louise! I'm searching but this is tough!!

Is there a church or place of worship either of you visit that you could ask? Or would you consider having a family member or friend translate the ceremony or just do a reading in Mandarin? Or you guys could say your vows in English and Mandarin!

If you aren’t sure where to find an officiant, maybe you can reach out to a Mandarin translation service. It’s possibly that they have someone who can officiate or they would know of people in the DC area with proper qualifications. And speakers of a language/ members of a particular culture tend to cluster if they are a minority, so if you make contact with one person, they might know someone who knows someone who is exactly what you’re looking for.
