My FH and I are asking his dad to officiate our wedding. We are going to look up all of the details and what not of how to get ordained before we ask him so we can give him all the info before he answers so he can make an informed decision (we will also pay for whatever fees may come up, if there are any).
Anyways, I’ve done some research but I’ve read a couple little conflicting things so I just wanted to ask for tips to make sure he’s 100% legally ordained and performs the ceremony 100% legally.
Also, we are getting married in St. Louis, MO, but we (and he) lives in Southern Illinois - idk if that matters at all.
