and I just got the script from our officiant. I'm ready to flip my lid. Something has to set me off, right? I swear, he took almost nothing of the script we actually gave him and instead turned it into a sermon about love and marriage. I'm so annoyed right now. 

We specifically said we didn't want it to be overtly religious or too Jesus-y. My FI is fairly religious but I'm not. Luckily, FI has my back in this and was annoyed as I am. He took the slashing pen to it and cut out alot of the religious talk and even wrote for him to "God it down a little bit". I think there were four separate sections of prayers, for our simple ceremony! /rant 

FI is calling him tomorrow, sending him the updated document with our edits taking out some of the extraneous religious talk. It will be ok. I'm picking up the linens, getting my eyebrows wax, lashes tinted, and lady bits waxed. Everything will be a-ok. Except my ladybits. I'm a little nervous about those... :-O

    I'm glad you got to see it before the ceremony! I'm hoping that he doesn't just go off on a tangent on his own during the ceremony. I think it's smart that you guys are telling him (again) that this is NOT what you want. And yay that FI is dealing with it. 

    As for the lady bits, they make a "no scream cream" which I recommend.

    Your GIF made me lol + Happy Wedding Week!!!!

    I agree with telling him again. Luckily we only had to tell our pastor once and he listened. Good luck and happy finishing wedding planning. Can't wait to see pictures.
  • Your gif is totally cracking me up! And I'm sending you good vibes for your lady bits.

    I must know more about this marvelous invention. Where can I get some???!

    OP, glad that you got to read over the script first! That is definitely very annoying.

  • That's really annoying.  Is this a private officiant for hire or does he "belong" to an actual church?  If he is for hire, hopefully the possibility of a negative online review will make him stick to what you gave him.
  • no - he's actually FI's friend. They met at the church they both went to which was very...Jesus-y. FI doesn't go to it anymore but is still friends with people from there. He is actually our second officiant - the first bailed on us a month ago because he went on sabbatical.
