Wedding Officiant for a Day Part 5
When I lead a rehearsal, we do not actually go through the ceremony, just the walk through, in and out and any other specific logistics. I suggest the order of the processional and recessional and make recommendations about any other issues. If you are having someone who does not know how to order the processional and recessional it is good to have someone attend the rehearsal who does.
The bottom line is that there is a lot more to officiating a ceremony than you might imagine. I encourage you to take the time to do some footwork before you make your decision. First, meet with some professionals so you can get some ideas about what to look for. If you do decide to have a friend, encourage you to take these points that I have mentioned into consideration.

This is because that person did not hold the sacred space for the ceremony. Or perhaps you are one of those people who were married by a friend and deep down inside you did not really even feel married after the ceremony. Again, this is because the person who was performing the ceremony was really just reading a script or saying words and did not create the sacred space.

But then when it comes to living in the reality of this big decision it is a whole different thing. Again, I get lots of calls the week of the wedding because that friend had cancelled on them. This is a huge commitment and really needs to be considered very seriously.

Another area of concern is that you want to really make sure they are on the same page with you in terms of your marriage and your ceremony wording.
I have had so many calls the week of the wedding because the person who was the family friend decided at the last minute that they could not do the ceremony because of feelings about the relationship of the couple or some other personal reason.

Wedding Officiant for a Day
Wedding Officiant for a Day
I would like to share some information about officiating at a wedding. I have watched this trend over the years of having someone like your friend or a family member become deputized for the day to perform a marriage ceremony and I would like to share some thoughts about that. I think it is a wonderful idea in theory to have someone officiate your ceremony that has known you for a long time and loves you. And I understand that this is the underlying reason that some people make that choice.
So here are some things to consider when choosing that person:
You want someone who is very comfortable speaking to large groups because you need them to be there for you, the bride and groom. Getting married can be a very intensely emotional experience. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to have to be emotionally or otherwise supporting and worrying about the person who is going to perform your ceremony, making sure they are ok, feeling responsible because you have asked this friend or family member to do this enormous task for you on this most important day of your lives.

Marriage Self Help
With more and more marriages ending in divorce, now is the time to equip yourself with the necessary skills to identify the root cause of problems within your marriage and more importantly the best methods to get your marriage back on track. It is so easy to end a marriage, which is why many people do not put the effort in to actually saving their marriage.
Remember when you first met. Remember your earliest kiss and the butterflies in your stomach, the anticipation and excitement you felt when you knew you were about to see your love. With a little work, you can both revive these feelings. Really getting in touch with the love that brought you together and the reasons why your marriage is worth fighting for can keep your marriage together through the tough times.
Some people feel that they need assistance in their marriage and are concerned that marriage counselors and therapists are expensive and that you have to go for a very long time in order to experience relief. In many ways, counselors are very highly paid listeners. You are hiring a person to listen to your issues who will be happy to offer a range of possible solutions. Have you ever considered that you could become your own expert? No one knows your marriage issues as well as you and your partner do.
