My stepdad and mom have been together for 16 years and have finally decided to get married. They are having a very small (10 people max) wedding in a local cafe next month. The cafe is decorated very forest themed and is beautiful! My mom asked if I would like to officiate as they are keeping costs down and do not want a total stranger marrying them. She asked me because I'm her daughter, I know their relationship well, and I'm the most charismatic person she knows (I've done a lot of theater productions over the past 10 years). This is my first time doing anything like this. Does anyone have any tips or advice? I will be getting ordained online and I've already checked out the legal aspects of what I will need to do on my end. I'm having trouble coming up with a good script that is simple yet beautiful. They are not religious.
