So I went to meet with a possible wedding officiant (off Craigslist) He only charges $50 so I thought it would be great. Met him and he seemed very nice, very polite, everything was good...until at the end of the meeting he asked me if he could bring a date to the wedding/reception. I told him fine just because I didn't know what to say, then he asked if he could bring his twin 3 yr old daughters. Um huh?? Is that normal to let the officiant bring a date and kids? So basically I would pay him to do the ceremony and then pay for him, his date and 2 girls to eat at my reception. I am on a tight budget and there are friends that we are not even inviting. What to do??
