Hi all,
We're having a mutual friend be our celebrant. He's one of my friends from college and he's always had a very good way with words, and after seeing him speak at his father's funeral (he did an amazing job of balancing the gravity/ emotion of it while bringing light/ laughter in) I thought he'd be a good person for the job. I don't see him that often, maybe 2/ year - so I was thinking of setting up a dinner date or something in the next few months to discuss the details.
If you've had a "friend" celebrant - what went well/ what's the best way to describe what you're looking for when you're not really sure yourself? Did you mention stories/ anecdotes to give them inspiration?
I only know I don't want a long saga, and it would be nice if his part could give people a "flavor" for who we are - there's a lot of distant family coming that honestly might have trouble picking myself/ my partner out of a line up. lol
Cheers,
Emily
