Choose your Officiant Wisely!

Posted

I recently met with a great couple who were interested in having me perform their wedding ceremony.  They expressed that it was important for them to have an experienced professional, because they recently attended a wedding where a friend or family member of the Bride and Groom officiated and were stunned when he/ or she accidently left out the ring ceremony.

I’m very fortunate to have been married for 28 years.  When I look back, I can recall a wonderful wedding day, filled with much love and many blessings. The only regret I had was that I didn’t hire a professional photographer.  At the time, we had a couple of talented friends who volunteered to do so.  I thought that between them, we’d end up with some great photos.  Needless to say, we were disappointed. In hindsight, I don’t know why I didn’t choose to hire a professional photographer, because when I think about it, I wouldn’t have asked a friend or relative who was really good at baking, bake our wedding cake, or someone who’s been taking piano lessons perform the music etc.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life; you owe it to yourselves to surround yourself with the best people possible.
