Officiant Meeting

CourtneyBrittain, on July 14, 2019 at 12:41 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 6
We are meeting up with our officiant tomorrow. Any questions I should be sure to ask? I’ve known him for many years, so thankfully I don’t need to get to know him.
I plan on letting him know we’d like him to announce for people to put their phones away (although we will also have a sign) and to say something about crying babies.
Anything else?

    I'd ask what he plans on saying in terms of religion (if that is specifically wanted or unwanted) if that hasn't already been discussed. I'm not a fan of the whole "lecture" of what marriage constitutes, but it seems a lot of officiants do that. I'd mention if there is anything specific you want him to say or not say in terms of you as a couple (how you met, a fond memory, etc.).

    I usually ask if there's a template he uses and then see it

    I would definitely want to see a script of what he plans to say and ask how flexible he is if you want to make changes.

    Thank you! We know we do want some talk about what a marriage in Christ means, just not a full blown 'you're all damned to hell' sermon (because who wants that at a wedding?)

    I know he will be open to basically any changes, so that's a good thing to ask! Thank you Cyndy!
