My FI wants to have his older brother officiate our wedding. Some additional info:
FBIL has never done this before and we are not having a religious ceremony.
When I mentioned this to my wedding planner she thought it might be a bad idea for these reasons:
1. The rookie officiant gets extremely nervous and that takes away from him/her and your guests enjoying the ceremony..
2. This is the most important part of the whole day, and having an experienced wedding officiant will be able to roll wih anything that could go wrong.
Did anyone have a friend or family member officiate? If so any regrets?
