Hi all,
I met a potential celebrant today, and I wasn't impressed. Maybe I was expecting the wrong thing? He was nice, but very business like. He seemed to have no interest in us as a couple, and didn't ask any questions about us. Now, obviously we weren't there to recount our love story in great detail, but I thought he might have at least asked how long we have been together, something like that. He was all business, how he operates, how the ceremony would run, how his services worked. He said he would ask us about us after we had booked him. It just seemed so... odd that he would only take an interest after he was being paid to.
He was just very... business like. It felt like a business transaction, not a meeting with the person who would marry you. If it were any other vendor it would be fine, but I thought the person marrying us would take the time to get to know us as a couple. It's a two way street; We have to be willing to have them, but they have to be willing to have us as well!
Am I expecting the wrong thing here?
